Filling a Need

Original Release Date: May 22, 2012

The possibility of bringing the Ninja Union back did not occur to me until pretty late in the game, as I was trying to come up with a believable solution for the good guys to be able to take on The Six's legions of hired goons. Once I thought of it, I knew there was no other option: a climactic final battle between these two blood-rival organizations.

I like the back room setting of Confidential Cargo here. You can see boxes of stock in the background, while the desk is littered with evidence of ninja research, where Renee and Ohtani conduct their actual business.

The box labeled "bionic arm parts" is obviously a nod to one of my favorite Nintendo games, Bionic Commando.
