Any more vids coming soon? Really enjoying what you've got so far (the japanese stuff anyway, not paying much attention to the western-released videos)

And tell us more about the japanese strider prototype! Like how did you get it, and the differences you've found from the released version. Strider is my favorite ninja in all of gaming.
