Can I just say, I fucking love companies just shadow dropping releases like this and I want to see it happen more.

holy shit. Ninja gaiden 4 and a remake of the greatest ninja gaiden game? We might just be in the best timeline. I doubt tomonobu itagaki is involved sadly, but with platinum games heading this project, I have no doubt they'll be awesome.

it's starting to look like ninja gaiden 2 black is going to have enemy counts more along the lines of what was in Sigma 2... if that's the case.... what a bummer.

Nice! Not so sure how I feel about playing another protagonist, nor am I happy to hear edgy dialogue like 'Fuck off, Hayabusa!'

No, faceless piece of shit that no one cares about.

YOU fuck off.

Ryu Hayabusa is the greatest ninja in all of video game history. Put respect on his name or you get these hands.

IV will be a day one for me. Physical deluxe version just to piss off Kernow.

As for Black II, I'm not buying an Xbox to play it so I guess I'll just have to be happy with Sigma II for Switch.

The 360 release is really the only way to play it properly on master ninja. Even this pc mod I played for sigma 2 that readds more enemies, adds gore back, and make the enemies harder doesn't compare to playing it on the 360. Also unrela engine 5 slop.

I hope there is a physical though I'll still pick it up.

Joe Musashi would fuck Hayabusa up.

Ninja Gaiden Black II is up on the playstation network and steam as well if you were interested in an alternative to xbox.

yeah... after playing through until chapter 4, it feels like ninja gaiden Sigma 2 black with gore. "The definitive version of ninja gaiden 2" this is not. But still fun. I swear team ninja just has a vendetta against Itagaki and his work. They could have easily added a classic mode that restored the original design, and they knew it too.

The real "definitive" way to play this game is the 360 version backwards compatible on xbox series X. Higher res and buttery smooth gameplay without any slowdown.

Jajamaru-Kun would frog both Ryu and Joe to death.


Hotsuma is my favorite ninja.

You're good at evaluating chick flicks none of us care about.

Video game ninjas...not so much.

Rockin' that Ninja Gaiden II Black on PS5 with the greatest ninja in fictional history and he's better than all your gay choices that aren't Ryu Hayabusa.

I forgot how much fucking fun these games were.

Bloody good action, sexy women, grotesque monsters and vile enemies. This is what video games are all about. Anyone that ever criticized these games is a faget.

Bet.
