Yeah I am all for perversing any unreleased game even if it is unfinished. I enjoy seeing what studios worked on and learning why it did not become a finished product. Plus when it is gone to time or bit rot, there is no getting it back

Necro bump here. Apparently, since Ninja Gaiden II NG was cancelled, the female protagonist, Ran was used in development for the next Tecmo versus fighter arcade project, Touki Denshou ~ Angel Eyes. Angel Eyes also received a PS1 release with some changes. Who knows how much Ninja Gaiden II NG ended up in Angel Eyes, but it's interesting that assets may have been reused in a new game. There's also a Ninja Gaiden II NG connection to Dead of Alive too. See the article below.

Kronos! This is awesome! I was always curious what the real connections were between Angel Eyes and Dead or Alive. I tried comparing staff rolls years ago but wasn’t really able to learn much about any concrete connections to Itagaki’s project and the development of Angel Eyes. The Ran NGII character assets being utilized is interesting as well! Thank you for sharing this info!

Perfection
Thanks for sharing this! Hope we can actually find assets for this one day.
Alright, back again with THE IMMORTAL JOHN HANCOCK
I just got done playing some rounds of Touki Denshou Angel Eyes and it's a pretty decent fighter. Usually I get bored of all female fighters (not because they're female, but because they feel gimmicky), but this game is actually fun. The gameplay in some ways reminds me of WW7.

You know the game sucks cock if they didn't finish/release it.
Really, just looking at the images you can tell it's going to play like shit.

Some men see things as they are, and say why. I dream things that never were, and say why not.
Aight thanks for the update, I really love those reviews, and in fact sometimes I see myself watching the older ones again for a refresher. There's nothing Neo related on youtube that can compare. I'll be looking forward to the new videos... I know very well myself how sometimes life takes over and you have to let your hobbies go to the back seat so I understand the delays between videos.
