N++ Ultimate Edition Out Now On Steam - Coming Soon To PS4
/As previously announced late last year, the free update to N++ labeled the "Ultimate Edition" is out now on Steam, and will be coming soon to PlayStation 4. The update is a huge content boost to the ninja platformer, doubling the available levels to the game and also provides a new "Hardcore" mode.
