Promotion and Merchandise
In 2011, Ryu's Ninja Gaiden costume parts were available as exclusive downloadable content during the first anniversary promotion campaign for Dynasty Warriors Online. A demo version of DOA5 featuring Ryu and Hitomi as playable characters was added as a downloadable bonus to the pre-order version of Ninja Gaiden 3 for the PS3, as well as the collector's edition release for both the PS3 and Xbox360.
A Ninja Gaiden II statue of Ryu was released by First 4 Figures in 2008. A NGII action figure from NECA was also released the same year. Several other action figures and statuettes were released in Japan.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
