Preorder Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, get a highly excellent sword stylus.

By Stephen Munn | December 28, 2007

Preorder bonuses are pretty much the only way a publisher can get me to preorder a game. And hey, software manufacturing being what it is these days, there’s otherwise really no point. It’s not like you can’t find the game a week later if you want it.

One type of preorder we see from time to time is a custom stylus. There was one in the Portrait of Ruin preorder bundle (still the best preorder set I’ve seen, I love mine) and there was the one you could send away for that was associated with Phantom Hourglass. Then there was the pink one you could order for Kirby Canvas Curse, which was disappointing.

Tossing such dreck aside is this surprising sword with sheath stylus for Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, the impossibly awesome-looking action game coming very soon for Nintendo’s abundantly-screened portable. Just look at this thing. Freaking sick.

The game hits mid-March. I need some scratch.
