so what are the best ninja gaiden xbox trilogy versions? the originals, Black for Ninja 1, or the Sigma ones?

>favorite

probably 2 on the nes or the first xbox one since i can recall playing those two

>Classic or Xbox Gaiden

don't really have much of a preference between the two

>you think it will ever come back?

Maybe but i feel like a lot of other games have filled in the shoe for it already

Also even though they aren't related i enjoyed the shinobi series as well

>>16810082

black is just NG1 but with more stuff in it, also a lot harder apparently. Sigma on the other hand is the neutered version of NG1.

Just get black. dont even need the og XbOX since you can play it on the 360.

>>16810144

I forgot to mention that they fucked up the parallax scrolling on the PC Engine version so bad that it's liable to make you motion sick. I cannot stress enough how horrendous that it actually is.

I've only played Ninja Gaiden on the NES and Ninja Gaiden Black. There was this one Ninja Gaiden 360 demo I played where you fight dragon demons or some shit. I can't remember the name of it someone help me out.

>>16810176

http://archive.is/O85q6

Its not even a full list of changes but fuck it.

>>16810179

The NG games on 360 isn't a long list, There is NG2, NG3, NG3RE, and Yaiba NGZ.

I originally wrote a much longer reply about this demo you played, not making much sense. since to my knowledge the Demos for NG2 and 3 on 360 were human enemys, but I was going to say NG 2 anyway due to those demons being in the game only later.

Then I actually found the demo your talking about… did you play this at E3 or something? It's the first time I'v seen of it.

>classic is easy and shorter to no continue but remake is harder and longer to clear consistently

Classic has so many tricks and oddities you can exploit despite being a simpler 2d game, you can thoroughly plan out and the fact that some stages are kind of poorly designed, while remake is just cock and ball torture outside of non-BLACK/SIGMA ninja gaiden.

Nioh is a great game but I couldn't stomach it enough due to the heavy handed number game to keep playing to see Ryu Hayabusa.

>>16810082

Sigma retains everything, additional quality of life features like being able to use items without going into a menu but ruins the pacing with playing as Rachel and you don't get NG+ as it strives to be more arcade-like scoring. Sigma 2 heavily modified NG2. The only modern exception is NG3's Razor Edge but I'm not too certain on what's the differences, just heard it's better.

>>16810069

I firmly believe that Ninja Gaiden 4 will be announced after Nioh 2.

But my main hope is for a Ninja Gaiden collection on PC to be announced with it. The series deserves to be persevered and easier to have easier access to it, In a perfect world an NG colleciton would have the Xbox versions and Sigma 1 and 2. and Even maybe the shit version of NG3, is unlockable just so you can see it for curiosity's sake, but if given a choice Xbox would be ideal, but Sigma I think would be more likely. Even better would be the option to pick and choose what you want in your NG 1 and 2, but that is far more work then i'd expect for a collection.

>>16810210

Razor's edge to put it basicly, adds back in most of what the removed that was in NG2, like other Nimpos, Delimbing enemies, and you get the other weapons from playing the game instead of DLC. It also make Steel on bone an actually fun to use quick muti-kill ablitiy, rather then what ever the hell it was trying to be in vanilla NG3. There is also a ton of content from NG 1 and 2, as a shit load of bonus challenges. You can just straight up fight those games enemies and bosses.

>>16810202

It was on an OXM disc. It's not the video you showed me. I remember in the demo you start out in a place that seems like the underworld or something like that, and you see a giant cage holding a dragon. At the end of the demo you approach a long staircase and at the top is a demon on a throne getting up about to fight you and the demo ends.

>Favorite

2. Those level gimmicks still stand out in my mind.

>Classic or Xbox

Did not own or play the xbox games, cannot speak on those. Although I'd really love to since they look excellent.

>Do you think they'll come back

Probably after Nioh 2, they might end up making an NG collection to gauge how much interest there is for a potential new NG4 or something.

>>16810210

>Nioh is a great game but I couldn't stomach it enough due to the heavy handed number game to keep playing to see Ryu Hayabusa.

I thought I was the only one who really disliked how the recommended levels seemed to grow exponentially to how much amirita you gain/gear levels you gained.

>>16810240

It kind of felt like Darksiders 2 on that end, where I felt the game would have been better if it had tiers of weaponry/armor instead of leveled gear with randomized attributes

As for the skill trees I disagree, I dig all the skills available for weapon classes but I wish the game gave you more skill points/book of reincarnation for experimentation.

>>16810230

That second pic looks like it and since you say that's endgame I do remember you being able to play with a lot of weapons. As for the demon it did kinda look like >>16810233 because I remember it having four arms. Maybe they decided to change things in the full game? Because I do vividly remember at the end of the demo it shows a small cutscene of Ryu approaching a long staircase and at the top a demon is sitting down then stands up and the demo ends. As I said it was an OXM disc demo. Perhaps it's different from the one you can download digitally.

>>16810230

>>16810233

Actually just looked up more about the disc and it lists NG2 on here https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/225865-oxm-demo-discs-list-of-exclusive-free-contents-gamerpics-themes/ so I guess that confirms the game was NG2.

>>16810250

only thing I can look up about that disc is that it game you Ninja Gaiden 2 Gamer pics. I can find much else about it.

>>16810250

>>16810251

Disc 88 was the Ninja Gaiden 2 demo, but As i'v said that was just NG2 level 1

>>16810254

Holy shit I'm actually retarded now I remember. Yes it was this demo but also on the disc it had a short video which was gameplay of all the other stuff I mentioned. I was confused and mis-remembered.

>>16810082

Sigma 2 triggered everybody because it removed gore and cut some content, but the gore doesn't really matter and the content that it cut was mostly boring garbage. It's also "easier", ie they nerfed some absolutely retarded stuff like projectile spam while still leaving the game entirely hard enough. It's way better than vanilla 2 but probably nobody will back me up. Sigma 1 was more of a sidestep at best, added stuff that doesn't really improve the game but there is at least more of it.

>>16810069

NES and arcade games are great but it's got to be Ninja Gaiden Black for me. Shinobi is my preferred 2D ninja action tbh.

>>16810082

I'm pretty sure its Ninja Gaiden Black, vanilla Ninja Gaiden 2 and Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge.

>>16810081

>I just don't care for the latex ninja suit all that much

You can unlock the classic outfit.

>>16810293

>>16810240

The numbers and loot stuff in Nioh generally don't matter on the first difficulty. Just use weapons and armour that make the number go up. I do understand the frustration with it though, the game buries you in loot drops.

>>16810318

>Female yokai

Oh my.

Does your yokai form/weapon depend on your living weapon or another thing?

>>16810318

I can see myself spending way too long on just making characters. Nioh 2 has got a really good character creator.

>>16810319

>Just use weapons and armour that make the number go up.

And that help you complete your set bonuses.

>I do understand the frustration with it though, the game buries you in loot drops.

I helps to remember that loot in Nioh is there mostly for you to convert into experience, resources, and money.

>>16810293

>>16810318

>RPG leveling

Nioh 2 puts more of a focus on proficiency points than straight "get souls to raise stats". Leveling is still there but it's de-emphasized somewhat.

>>16810329

Do you gain any special abilities from the yokai form like Saika's flight?

Also considering the most recent release of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14's PC port I have zero hope for Nioh 2/a Ninja Gaiden Collection's port being remotely decent.

>>16810334

Each form gives you a different parry/grapple attack in addition to giving you a unique weapon ans weapon skill set. Brute(fire) form is a bruiser focused offensive attacks. The other two forms let you do cuhrazy Devil May Cry shit. I really can't explain it better than what this video shows.

>>16810322

You can customize your yokai form in character creation menu.

I really hope that Ninja Gaiden 4 doesn't have a Soul's like stamina system.

>>16810337

How did they fuck it up this time?

>>16812122

I think they must have learned their lesson about Changing NG too much after NG3 and then tried to remove all the garbage, and add back in all the mechanics that were in NG2 to try and salvage the game. Of course only time will tell, but Nioh is already their Souls inspired title. they were smart enough to make it it's own IP.

>>16810151

Goddamn, I thought you were at least slightly exaggerating about the parallax. My fucking eyes.

>>16812240

>I'm gonna get lynched for this, but 3RE

There is nothing wrong with liking Razors Edge, it's has arguable the best gameplay in the series, due to it containing pretty much every mechanic and tons of the previous games enemies and bosses. It has allot of redeeming content, it's main flaw is that it's stuck in NG3 vanilla's flawed structure, I can't really think of any story or level moments as worth remembering as the Fiend curse, or the Star Case fight.

3RE is a perfectly fine choice, what you should be bullied for is not remember what an Online pass is, and how it's different from a Season pass.

The online pass was short lived, but it's important to remember. A season pass is the promise of future DLC content, that is likely just cut or unfinished content, it's bad, but at the very least is "shouldn't" be on the disc you buy. The online pass was made as a specific reaction to Used game sales, a new game sold, had an online pass code in the box it was one use only. If that game was sold and bought used, the idea is the next person who owns the game has to shell out $10 in order to access the mutiplayer.

God of War: Ascension literally had only one Trophy behind the Multiplayer Tutorial, But we shouldn't pretend that Trophies or achievements being lock out are the problem, when there was locked content on the disc.

>>16812240

>i like playing as kasumi

Nothing wrong with that. She was heaps of fun. The Ayane missions were also fun. I wanted to like Momiji but I just couldn't get into her.

>>16812244

>Goddamn, I thought you were at least slightly exaggerating about the parallax. My fucking eyes.

Jesus fuck you're not joking.

Skip to 6:25 if the timestamp doesn't work. How do you fuck something up that badly and then think "yeah this is fine, ship it like that".

>>16812240

she has very big bazongos

>Favourite game?

Ninja Gaiden Black

>Classic or XBOX gaiden?

Xbox

>you think it will ever come back?

Recovering from what happened with 3/Razor's Edge must be quite difficult but the devs seem to have learned a lot from Nioh, the combat in that game was incredibly fun and using ninjutsu shit was really neat.

If Team Ninja brings Ryu back I would love to have an "open world" game like in NGB rather than a chapter/mission structure, arriving on Tairon and getting used to every street, alley and rooftop while learning about their culture was so fucking cool

>>16812258

Wasn't that game absolutely terrible?

>>16812264

I couldn't get past his gay opera mask

When I first beat NGB I did terrible, but it felt rewarding to beat it. I decided to immediately replay it and redeem myself somewhat and beat the game much quicker with less deaths.

>>16812311

To take this thread off topic just a bit. Should I wait for Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition for the Switch or emulate it on Dolphin? Does it have waggle controls? I couldn't get past them for the DK game when I tried emulating it.

>>16812333

The new edition will have extra content added that was cut from the original game.

IIRC the Wii version has no waggle but it does look like ass unless you fuck around with the resolution in Dolphin and maybe add some texture packs.

>>16812335

I might get the DE then.

>>16812339

XB1 runs flawlessly on Dolphin and there's a really good texture pack available that seems pretty faithful to the original art style. You can emulate it if you want but the game is really long and I'd recommend just waiting for the DE.

>>16812461

Las I checked Miss Monday had zero rule 34, Yaiba really bombed

>>16813673

I think we're being spammed.

>>16813673

What are you talking about? My 8chan Premium works perfectly fine.

>>16813815

I think he's talking about backwards compatibility.

>>16813788

would be nice to see that staircase running at a double-digit framerate

>>16813815

Are you playing as a hunchback of notre dame in this game?

>>16812781

>>thought this was bait for Miss Monday porn

well, it was also that in addition to being a fact

>>16812781

Vaguely sure that third image is official.

Also I hate that artstyle on the first.

>>16815229

forgot to add the knockback when taking a hit. that's tolerable by itself, but combined with the enemy respawning just makes the game piss me off too much to play

>>16815229

>the enemy spawning

just walk forward and back unless that's an emulator only trick, ninja gaiden 1 is oddly enough the easiest to clear because the spin slash kills bosses like butter and has a lot of whatever levels

>>16814127n

Razor's Edge amped up the enemy AI aggression compared to the initial PS3/360 release

>>16815359

Meant for

>>16814127

Don't know how that "n" got there

>>16815229

>even the snes versions are shit

>even

the snes versions are much worse than the originals, laggy and sound like crap

if you love enemy respawns try ninja spirit, where every enemy respawns within seconds whether you scroll the screen or not, even if they take ten hits of the best weapon to kill. good times.

>>16815319

ninja gaiden 1's rep as a hard game owes to the retarded last level and sending you back if you lose to the boss.

now ninja gaiden arcade, I don't even understand how to play that

>walk up to enemy

>try your only attack

>get punched in the face

>insert credit to continue

>>16815377

ninja gaiden / shadow warriors is ultimately all about getting the sword powerup (red square with two swords) which you can only get when pulping your enemies into props, you can swing around and kick enemies instantly into props (can't kill in one hit) with the first button and jump around slowly with the third button, it's kind of shit compared to other beat em ups.

I'm going to be replaying Sigma 1/2, and then finally getting to Razors Edge. Any advice for improving other than just playing a lot? I've never been huge into action games like this, I can typically get by fine on normal but I'd like to do better.

>>16818123

You've got to play aggressively. Thinning out enemy numbers is more important than defending perfectly every time. The best way to do this is abuse i-frames when performing finishing moves. So cut off an enemy limb, perform a finishing move, and use the invincibility during the canned animation to regroup and plan the next enemy you're gonna target.

Also, some weapons are better against some enemies, don't be afraid to cheese through enemies with stunlock and shit, because enemies will stunlock the fuck out of you too, like those exploding dogs in 2. That's one situation where you definitely don't want to block and where you want to Flying Swallow the shit out of them ASAP.

>>16818155

I'm trying to suck less in Sigma and that's entirely contrary to what I've been advised so far. What I heard was never stop holding block outside of a combo. Not that it seemed to be working.

>>16818187

I had better luck with immediately dodging whenever an enemy other than the one I was attacking got too close, kiting them a bit, and then picking them off again until I could execute them.

IMO you should either be dodging or attacking.

>>16810082

>>16810097

>>16810128

>>16810176

>>16810210

>>16810213

>>16810301

>>16818123

>>16818904

So, if I'm understanding things correctly, here's the "big" difference between Black and Sigma is:

Black

>FMVs cutscenes

>Ninja Gaiden arcade port

>More costumes

>Puzzle sections

>All versions uncensored

Sigma

>Better graphics

>New enemies

>Rachel

>Enemy AI and stats altered

>More save points and shops

>More items and weapons

>More costumes (Vita only)

>Higher difficulties don't need to be unlocked

>Only U.S. version uncensored

So, it comes down to the choice of if you want to play the more "pure" Black or the expanded Sigma. Meanwhile, the other two games don't have that much dispute. Sigma 2 is censored all-around and made super easier (With the "additional content" either out of place or not compensating enough for it), so go for vanilla NG2, and Razor's Edge is what everyone wanted Ninja Gaiden 3 to be.

Does that about sum it up?

>>16818953

pretty much. I used to try and defend Sigma 2, but then I started playing on the harder difficulties and the game balance is even more broken than the original. Anything with the 'glory kills' feature (NG2 and NG3RE) are inferior games to Black/Sigma, but people can still play them because they are fun-if-flawed games.

>>16818991

The only good nu-Ninja Gaiden game was the first one really.

>>16818187

>I'm trying to suck less in Sigma and that's entirely contrary to what I've been advised so far. What I heard was never stop holding block outside of a combo.

I don't see a contradiction there, you get out of a block by dodging/jumping so you can attack but you don't actually release the block button if you don't absolutely have to

>>16818904

>>16818953

I'd never touch NG2 again after playing Sigma 2, maybe Sigma 2 isn't perfect, but NG2 just wasn't done when they released it imo.

I haven't even tried NGS+ but I take it there's nothing earth-shattering in there?

>>16819007

That's pushing it a bit too far, in fact the sequels do have some genuine improvements even if the original maybe felt the most polished

>>16819123

They just rushed 2 out the door, the gameplay mechanics are a sound evolution but it feels like you're playing a beta build.

>>16818155

This seems to be helping in Sigma 1, where enemies actually give you a chance to thin them out. I went ahead and tried out RE and god damn did that game make me appreciate 1 even more.

>dark as fuck graphics make it hard to see

>turn brightness up and the next stage is bright as fuck

>button press messages on the screen constantly

>turn off message displays and now they never show up for the QTE shit when you actually need them

>having QTE shit at all

>navigate from one room to another to be swarmed by a group of enemies all attacking at once with projectile spam coming from multiple sides

>never ending grab and dodge spam by enemies

>no items

>auto aim fucks you over all the time targeting the wrong enemy

>ninpo seems to take forever to charge

I could go on, but I really didn't like it after a few hours. I always liked the adventure 1 took you on even though I suck at the game. RE just seems like you go from room to room and repeat the same shit over and over. 2 gave me a similar feeling on the level progression, but not nearly as much as 3 has.

>>16821361

1 definitely had the best feel. It was an adventure, like you said, 2 and especially 3 were just room-to-room fightboxes.

I hope the rumours of a remaster are true, but that they focus on the first game and redo the campaign so you can play through the main game as all different titty ninjas with different playstyles. That was the best (only) good part of 3.

bump

>>16831190

It could happen, as long as NoA and Treehouse have ZERO involvement, going by what happened to Devil's Third and Fatal Frame 4 and 5.

>>16810069

Fun Fact:

The classic game isn't even called Ninja Gaiden in Japan.

>>16831320

Yep. It's called Ninja The Gaiden. Just look at the original arcade title screen.

director has revealed that developer Team Ninja is already thinking about making its next game. What’s more, Team Ninja says they’re aware that there is an appetite for more Ninja Gaiden games and that, coincidentally, they’ve been inspired by a recent wave of ninja-themed video games themselves.

Team Ninja is a development cell within Koei Tecmo known for games like Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive. During a recent preview event for Nioh 2, IGN was able to sit down with the game’s director, Fumihiko Yasuda, who revealed that the core members of the Nioh 2 dev team worked on Ninja Gaiden, and they want to make a new game soon, maybe another in the ninja-genre.“The core members of the team that worked on Ninja Gaiden want to make a new game,” said Yasuda. “We are aware that some fans wanted Ninja Gaiden more than Nioh 2. Now we see a lot of ninja games like [Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice] as well, and we see a lot of good inspirations in those games, so we hope to deliver some good news one day.”

While Yasuda doesn’t outright confirm a new Ninja Gaiden game is in development, he does confirm that Team Ninja is aware of the request from fans for a new Ninja Gaiden game and that they have a lot of new ideas about the genre from recent titles.

Yasuda cites From Software’s Sekiro, which was about a ninja swordsman on a mission to rescue his lord from usurpers. And while Yasuda didn’t mention these other games, there are other ninja titles in development like Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima.There hasn’t been an official Ninja Gaiden game since 2012’s Ninja Gaiden 3 (not counting the 2014 spinoff Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z). But it seems like a real gold rush for ninja games, so if one of the OGs in the genre wants to stage a comeback, there’s plenty of excitement for them to do so.

Meanwhile, you can read IGN’s Nioh 2 preview here and check out our for our impressions of Team Ninja’s upcoming sequel to the surprise 2017 hit. The original Nioh was a more souls-like RPG from Team Ninja, and for Nioh 2 the developers are creating a prequel.

>>16831320

Yes. It's actually called Ninja Homosexualden in Japan.

>>16832279

Honestly, Sekiro with Nioh's stance system and weapon classes alone would have made for a wonderful game. As much as I loved Ni-Oh I felt that it shackles itself by attempting to be a game like Souls, same with Sekiro. Particularly how you could get one shot by certain enemies or attacks.

>>16832264

>Ghost of Tsushima

I really have no interest or hope for this game. Putting the fact that it's console exclusive and as such I probably won't get to play it, it just looked too scripted and kind of slow for a samurai game.

What I would love is a samurai game where you get to play as any of the bosses from Sekiro, or Mugen from Shadow Tactics as in a large, burly physically strong Samurai who can overpower people will strength but also has a lot of skill and technique in his abilities.

And he can also fuck a kunoichi.

rip mugen

>>16832289

TAKE A SUCK

>>16832296

Sounds good to me.

I've never played any of them but 3. I'd it possible to emulate Black yet?

>>16832812

>All those tries against the The Regent of The Mask in a Ninja Trial mission where you fight him with two waves of enemies after two bosses and other waves of enemies.

Barely even did any mission on the first Sigma game past normal mode too and it was tense fighting the likes of Marbus with other enemies spawning everywhere

I really want the ports now.

>>16833026

You'd think a game bringing out the explosives and assrapings on the first enemies would be a good thing to get you pumped up for the game, not something to yell and scream about like a 10 year old.

>what is no intro

>not using the chad sha1

Man you're retarded

>>16836780

Doesn't match mine..

>>16836815

>what is no intro

I know what no-intro is, their ROM didn't match either which is to be expected since the recommended ROM uses goodtools nomenclature so the headers are probably different.

>not using the chad sha1

They don't provide a sha1, did you even look at my pic? Not that anyone would forge an md5 for a ROM, much less gain anything from it.

>what is reading the fucking title and what is clearly a romhack "Ninja Gaiden III - Restored"

Okay, so you did look at my pic? Maybe I should re-explain my post and how Romhacking.net works then. Romhacking.net is a website that hosts patches for ROMs, and you make the romhack yourself by applying the patch to a ROM. The romhacks on Romhacking.net list what specific ROM you should to apply the patch to, that's what the md5 listed there is for, it's NOT the checksum of the ROM after patching, which I think maybe you assumed it was for some reason. For NES games, a mismatch probably doesn't really matter because it's not uncommon for the header information to be different. But for shits and out of curiosity, I went to see if I could find a matching md5 anyway, and I couldn't. Do you get it now?

>>16836815

>what is reading the fucking title and what is clearly a romhack "Ninja Gaiden III - Restored"

>Man you're retarded

The irony in this post. At least you spelled "you're" correctly.

>>16846246

Kunoichis shouldn't be this well endowed. They should be slender(not flat, just slender) and toned so they can fit snugly in your burly samurai arms when you capture them because kuniochis are giant sluts

>>16846630

>>16846849

They should at least have proper head proportions so their hands are not twice the size of their head.

>>16846849

>file names

>large

sorry to be the one to inform you but the biggest size you can get from twitter is orig

>>16856399

you know I really wish websites would just show you the full picture when you click on them, for some reason they love making this less and less convenient to do. I swear if it wasn't for the artists that I follow on twitter I wouldn't even touch the site.

>>16856551

>Team Ninja knows fans want a new Ninja Gaiden, and it does too. In a recent interview with IGN, director Fumihiko Yasuda revealed that Team Ninja hopes to make a new game soon after it ships the upcoming Nioh 2 and it has even been inspired by the sudden surge of ninja games.

>>16856551

>>16856446

as mentioned here >>16832264

Team Ninja is aware that people want more Ninja Gaiden, and they've been inspired i suppose by Sekiro's popularity. still they should be smart enough not to do the same thing they did to Vanilla NG3, since Razor's edge was already them just going "WE FUCKED UP WE'RE SORRY"

I'm thinking it's gonna be very likely Ninja Gaiden 4 is going to be the next big game from them after Nioh 2 is released. And even if NG4 isn't too impressive the basic and easy business move to hype up a NG4 would be to make a series collection and release it in some form on modern platforms, I'm sure Nioh has done very well on PC, so NG4 coming to PC should be assured, and the whole series coming to PC and other platforms is a decent possibility in the future imo. The series right now is split between NG 1 & 2 on Xbox backwards compatibility and PlayStation now with Sigma 1 & 2.

All the info and game knowledge dumps itt are neat.

I'm just patiently waiting for NG2 to become playable on PC. I'd then like to run it at 144fps- I'm sold on high fps after playing Vanquish at that framerate. I know Sigma 2 is playable on RCPS3, but they lowered the difficulty in it and toned down the blood for some reason compared to the 360 version.

Just found out the TurboGrafx-16 had the NES game ported with a shittier soundtrack.

>>16886725

1 and 2 are partially Microsoft's aren't they? Maybe we can ask them and Spencer as well.

So they can shit it up with GWFL tier shit or make them win 10 exclusive? No thanks.

It's easier if you think of the games less like traditional action games and more like free roam fighting games, because that's what it actually is. Hit Confirming, Just Frames, Canceling, Countering, Juggling, etc. The inspiration from fighting game like Dead or Alive mechanics is pretty clear in the combat system of the reboot series.

That's because the level progression had continuity since you were literally traveling seamlessly from one place to the next in a fictional country. The later games had you traveling all over the fucking world where every level was a totally new location.

>he's being flashy

Yes similar to how in high level play in fighting games they're skilled enough to use the flashy advanced techniques consistently and no because there are certain techniques you MUST use shurikens to do like using them after Bird Flip to option select into Divine Cicada and or just not getting hit with the extended landing penalty from Bird Flip. The Ninja Gaiden series has a deep and autistic level of detail in its combat mechanics. You can even just treat shurikens like standard jabs you might use to extend combos like in fighting games.

>no dismemberment

>no blood

>original has a literal army of undead ninjas vs Sigma 2's pack of 6 dogs

>almost thought Sigma 2 was NG1 due to how stripped down it was

>even the UI was censored

Why did they even bother with a PS3 port?

I only noticed all these posts were a month old after I typed this but fuck it

>>16887022

Where can I ask them?

>>16888027

I already did. I want to ask microsoft as well. Maybe they god rights to Ninja Gaiden. Imagine if next NG will be shitbox exclusive again.

>>16888028

oh sorry I missed that you were replying to someone else. regardless, tho People should know about the intercept technique, and ask for it to be preserved in a new release.

>>16888031

Right now the only way to get the hurricane pack 1 & 2 is with a modded Xbox. since I'v heard the DLC isn't even up for sale anymore.

When do you expect first teaser or announcement? Maybe next year?

>>16887096

If they do partially own NG then unfortunately that's the type of shit we'll get. I'm only asking for clarification. That said, Halo released on Steam and Win 7 so a NG collection isn't hard to see releasing under similar circumstances.

>>16888205

Well maybe an entirely new NG series is in order then.

>>16886725

Unironically sent. Did my part desu. Everyone here, please do this. I specifically asked for NG Black, 2 (not Sigma), and 3: Razor's Edge.

>>16810081

love the original, too. it's been too long since i played NG2 on the NES, so i'm unsure how much i actually love it. i haven't played my NES in 2 years probably, but had an intense desire to play Ninja Gaiden last night. that is why i opened this thead.

Yep, Nioh 2 has released, and Dead or Alive 6 is getting it's final update. So the odds of a new Ninja Gaiden being next are looking good, given Team Ninja doesn't seem to be working on anything else major now.

The only uncertaint part is when exactly they are planing to make the announcement. The wait for DMC5 was a tad frustrating because I knew they were working on it, but the didn't actually annonce the game until it was only a few months away from release, which was honestly a damn smart way to go since the hype from it's announcement never had time to die down.

If They are taking any notes from how DMC5 handled things the same could happen, or maybe they will announce it with just a pre-rendered trailer/ just a Logo, and not actually have any game footage to show.

Ether way judging from the time between Nioh 1's release, and Nioh 2's that was about 3 years for Team Ninja to make a full fledged game. so I suppose we can expect to have to wait 3 years.

But all my speculation aside. I just want a the series on PC damn it, at this point the main reason for wanting a new NG would be the excuse for them to re-release the previous Games. There are too many people not getting they're shit kicked in by Ninja Gaiden 2 right now, it's a damn shame.

PC ports are a given, what people should be worried about is these retards porting S1/S2/3RE though i wouldn't mind it if they also port the trilogy to the Switch, S1+ was unfairly overlooked and even S2+ wasn't half bad if you overclocked the Vita instead of Black/2/3RE, i want to retire my poor 360 already.

>>16897315

The success of DMC5, Souls/Bloodborne/Sekiro games and Nioh must be telling them that there is a dedicated action game fanbase out there and that difficulty isn't some taboo that will sink sales.
