Global wireless game publisher and technology leader, Tecmo® Mobile, announced at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo that Ninja Gaiden Episode 1: Destiny for mobile phones will be making its highly anticipated launch on top carriers by the end of this year. Ninja Gaiden fans will now be able to take the action wherever they go, taking on the role of Ryu Hayabusa as they hack and slash mobile-style using their deadly Dragon Blade katana, ninja skills, and Ninpo ninja magic to defeat gangs of street thugs, evil ninjas, and big bad barbarian bosses.

Bringing the original series to old school and new fans alike, Ninja Gaiden Episode 1: Destiny, the first in four unique Ninja Gaiden episodes being developed for mobile phones, is a faithful port of the 8-bit side-scrolling Ninja Gaiden game. The Ninja Gaiden franchise which has sold over 5 million copies world wide across multiple consoles and handheld devices will be mobile by this year with plans to be launched on all top US mobile phone carriers by the end of the year.
