When we last reported, we knew Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus was coming to the United States, we just didn't know when it would release (besides in Japan). Now we do.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus will be receiving a North American release first, arriving on our shores February 26th, 2013. Japan won't be far behind, with a release set for February 28th, with Europe bringing up the rear for a release date on March 1st.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus will be coming to the PS Vita with two new modes, "Hero Mode" difficulty (from Ninja Gaiden 3) and "Ninja Race," which tasks players with navigating levels while racing against the clock. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus will also have all-new tag missions involving the characters Rachel, Momiji, and Dead or Alive alumnai and fan-favorite Ayane.
