We've all seen the image of the slender ninja, dressed from head to toe in black, emerging silently from the darkness only to stealthily assassinate the unaware enemy with a sleek cut to the throat with nothing but the sound of knife edge slicing through the skin. Ninjas are brutal, they're tough … one thing they're NOT, is cute … right?
Well Ninja Town for the Nintendo DS casts doubts on that assumption and offers something a little different to the usual violent, blood bath, martial arts genre. Based on the Shawnanimal franchise, Ninja Town does away with death and destruction, pain and suffering and replaces it with the cutest little Ninjas you'll ever see! They're scared of the dark, they bake cookies and they just want to live in peace! But there's always someone wanting to spoil the fun, and cause a little trouble, isn't there?"

GR - "Tower defense has come a long way since its inception in Warcraft 3. Find out what the best of the tower defense genre has to offer."
Cue "but you didn't include my favorite!" comment: PixelJunk Monsters is the best TD game ever. Fact. :)
Wish Ninja Town would get ported to PC or something.
Edit: Cat, when reading this, I was thinking you'd say just that :P
It's good to see they remembered Defense Grid: The Awakening. It's the best tower defense game, when I start playing it, I just can't stop. I played many others, including Plants Vs Zombies and Ninjatown, but none gets close to Defense Grid.
StartGame: A volcano erupts near Ninjatown, which brings along Mr Demon and his hordes of devils, who are bent on the destruction of the town.
