In Nate's Namco Bandai event report he talked a bit about Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day, the Suda51 2D side-scroller that serves as the fifth and final part of Katsuhiro Otomo's Short Peace anthology. It's now making its way to North America and Europe, and Namco Bandai previews the game and a bit of the anthology itself in a new trailer below.
Suda51 talks about the game:
Both the Short Peace anime anthology and Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day are coming to PlayStation 3 this spring. Here's how Namco Bandai sums up the game's plot:
By day, Ranko Tsukigime is an average high school girl who lives alone, but at night she is a deadly hitman who deftly assassinates her targets. One fateful night as Ranko heads out to eliminate her next target, a demonic enemy organization creeps up and threatens the lives of Ranko and her friends. Players will put their reflexes and quick judgment to the test in the fast-paced platforming gameplay that will have them blazing through dangerous, obstacle-ridden environments to flee from an ominous enemy looming close behind.
