Mexican Ninja, a single-player, stylized beat 'em up action roguelike game developed by Madbricks. Players will slice, kick, and flip through the streets of Nuevo Tokyo in action-packed 2.5D frenetic gameplay. Upgrade skill trees, defeat powerful bosses, and become the Mexican Ninja. Mexican Ninja is slated for release in early 2026 for PC (Steam).

No, no, he said "ninja". It's fine if you end it with an a, then it's cool.

Did they get Sucker Punch to consult on being respectful towards Japanese culture?

 

[StueyDuck]

Ubisoft would have just called it Ninja...

 

[Toots]

Got my huevos firmly in hand waiting for this one

 

[Dr.Morris79]

¡No mames!

One of the reasons I couldn't get on with the game. So obviously developers writing a country and a culture they're not familiar enough with.

Everyone can be a ninja.

Cyberpunk walks a thin line between serious noir and caricature/stereotype, it often works but Jackie is just way over the top.

 

[diffusionx]

literally all of forza horizon 5 is like this, every single line.

what's pathetic is that you know Microsoft spent tons of money on "sensitivity readers" and all that to make sure it was sufficiently woke so it doesn't get criticism.

Esta bien chido papito

Apparently they're a Columbian dev. I can't find much about them besides the fact that they were acquired recently by publisher Amber. Now, while Columbia isn't Mexico, I think it's probably not quite the white-washing exploitation piece that the trailer seems to promote. I'd fault the trailer for going this route of tongue-in-cheek intentionally bad pronunciation of Spanish, but I don't know.... the game just looks dull and clunky. They didn't have much to work with.

 

[OverHeat]

bender get in this thread

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm down AF, lol.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Wasn't sold on the name, but after seeing the footage and the fact that it's a beat'em-up, I'm sold!

 

[Alexios]

It could have been good, exciting and funny, like My Friend Pedro or something, but it looks pretty generic and uninspired after all. Pick any classic (or even not so classic as you may have played through those already I guess) beat 'em up/hack and slash and they're simply way better on all fronts.

 

[poodaddy]

Everything about it seems right up my alley, but I'm done with rogue likes forever, no exceptions. I'm too busy to waste time on games in which all my progress could go up in smoke due to one mistake. Game looks cool though.

"speedy gonzales goes steady with everybody's sister."

 

[yurinka]

Looks good

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Machete!

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Cant wait for the articles saying the game shouldnt have that title in the year 2025 LMAO

 

[The Fartist]

Machete!

Now there's a game that should be made.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

We are so back

 

[Kilau]

Be careful if you try to import this in the US.

Day one. Wishlisted.
