Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z cuts into PC same day as consoles

Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z will rise from the dead on Steam, Tecmo Koei announced today. Cyborg players can install the game directly into their Windows-compatible components, and everyone else can play it on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on the same day in early 2014.

Hordes of less-fortunate zombies shamble between him and sweet vengeance on Hayabusa, but it sounds like Yaiba wouldn't have it any other way:

"Will he kill by turning his cyborg arm into a razor chainsaw for slicing up undead--or just rip off an opponent's arms to use as zombie nunchucks?" the Tecmo Koei press release asks. "Both possibilities fill Yaiba's heart with twisted laughter--and the desire to kill more and more zombies!"

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
