Description: The unstoppable, Cypher-wielding ninja Hiryu returns in Strider, due out digitally in early 2014 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC

Bonus gameplay video:

Description: Freely explore vast, interconnected environments using Hiryu's acrobatic skills. Use his trademark plasma-Cypher and new Kunai attacks to shred through enemy droves. And expect to see the return of his trusty robot allies.

It looks a lot like a faster Shadow Complex, with metroidvania style upgrade and backtrack levels. I like the bad guy intro screen, straight outta Borderlands.

No word on pricing yet, but they say it's a digital only game (aka xbla) so I'd expect it to land around $15-20.

The graphics are sweet. The game looks kinda like a Metroid. I'm liking the upgrades. Yeah I agree with Batty, maybe worth $15. Capcom still wasting our time with these little DLC games. What are they REALLY working on? USF4, doesn't really count. Dead Rising 3? Only a select few will get to play that. Honestly, I think Capcom is just taking it easy during this console shift.

This looks awesome in my opinion. I can't wait for this game to come out. I also agree with what the price might be at, thinking that it will be worth the experience.

In the meanwhile, I'll go ahead and play some Moon Diver (a game in which I call a spiritual successor to Strider).

Also, When will Capcom finally mention something new for Megaman??? it's been 7 months already, and we haven's heard of any new games involving the blue bomber (not counting the announcement of them adding the GB MM games to the 3DS shop, which also includes Xtreme and Xtreme 2).
