Legend of Kage 2 sneaks out into Japanese stores

Taito's surprisingly awesome-looking Legend of Kage 2 comes out tomorrow in Japan, and we remain hopeful for a localization announcement. We feel confident that it'll happen, too, since parent company Square Enix has decided to release its contemporary retro sequels, Arkanoid DS and Space Invaders Extreme.

For now, we can enjoy these new screens from Dengeki and wonder which way we'll end up disappointed: news that it won't be localized, or the actual quality of Kage 2. We won't be disappointed with the number of kunoichi battles, at least -- it seems that female ninja just hate this guy.

Is this the sequel to THE Legend of Kage game of the ninja with a sword 2 pixels in length which makes shurikens and jumping on trees his only viable weapons and means of defense? I used to play this on the NES and I'd be glad to see it once again. Hopefully he has a more useful sword this time!
