Last week, we got to sit down and play Tecmo, Team Ninja and Microsoft Game Studios' upcoming ninja, hack & slasher, Ninja Gaiden II . After the short play through, I got the chance to ask Microsoft Game Studios' Ryan Bidan a couple of questions about the game. You can check out the interview below, as well as other videos from Ninja Gaiden II .

For those of our readers who read the preview article and saw our note that this interview would be on the site last week, we do apologize. Between technical difficulties on the site and prepping our videos from the Grand Theft Auto IV launch, we were only able to upload the videos to our Revver and YouTube channels. Enjoy the videos and please feel free to leave comments.

Ninja Gaiden II is scheduled to release for Xbox 360 on June 3 ^rd and is rated M for Mature.
