Ninja Gaiden 2

[OssMan]

So what is the deal with this...is this like a remake of the game Ninja Gaiden 2 that already exists for NES or what, mad confusing

[Boomer]

It's brand new.

[OssMan]

Why would they make a game called Ninja Gaiden 2 when it already exists

[U-Warrior]

Because that game came out like 15 years ago.

You do know there was a Ninja Gaiden game for the xbox, right?

[D Mac]

Assman WTF have you been living under a rock

[Funky Fly]

Come on nigra, it's like the Legend of Zelda shits. Reboots, yo.

Series got rebooted with Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden Black (Xbox titles) and Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3. The clear sequel to those is Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword on the DS and then Ninja Gaiden 2 on 360.

From mufucken Wikipedia: Ninja Gaiden II is an upcoming sequel to Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox 360, due for release in June 2008. It is being developed by Team Ninja and published by Microsoft Game Studios exclusively for the Xbox 360. This is also the first time that the game will not be published by Tecmo. While sharing the number as the NES game Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos, it is not related to said title.

[OssMan]

not related at all? ie you are not ryu hayabusa? what kinna crap izzat, you how's about a smack (word life). gotta play Xbox 360 Ninja Gaiden then.

[U-Warrior]

nah, they just mean that its not a remake. You're still hayabusa.

[U-Warrior]

it's also way harder than the nintendo games, if you can believe that.

Two minutes of research is a lost art.

[D Mac]

FYI Ninja Gaiden is backwards compatible with 360. Plus they have Ninja Gaiden Black for 1,200 MP at Marketplace.

[OssMan]

WTF how did you get off my ignore list

[U-Warrior]

Why would you ignore kalyx?

[Kalyx triaD]

Ignorance is bliss.

[OssMan]

Tried to get Ninja Gaiden at Gamestop and they had a box for it but not the game. Freaking always happens at gamestop

[Funky Fly]

Word. I went to get Black, they had the box for it, but only the regular ass game. Gonna stick to ordering online.

[ClockShot]

Gonna go throw some money down on this by week's end.

Pretty psyched.

[MCEazy]

gonna be trading in Okami and Smash Bros Brawl to get this on tues :D

[Mayo]

Is this gonna be a pimpin game or what? I am still undecided as to whether I will buy it, so I shall let you all be my guinea pigs.

[D Mac]

There's supposed to be a demo coming out but it's not up yet.

[Jura]

How many Ninja Gaidens are there?

[D Mac]

How many Ninja Gaidens are there?

3 for NES, 2 for Xbox (NG and NG Black basically the same), Ninja Gaiden Sigma for PS3 (a port of the Xbox version), and a couple for handhelds I think.

[ClockShot]

Gametrailers gave the game an 8.2. They say it's pretty good, but it's going to be a bitch and a half for lots and lots of people. And, they could have gave the engine a tune up.

I'll be cracking open my EGM mag that just came in to see what they say. But if you really want to get your feet wet, download or by the first Ninja Gaiden on either the Xbox/Xbox360, or Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3.

[OssMan]

the NES trilogy was ported to SNES in one game as well.

[ClockShot]

Tobonobu Itagaki left Tecmo appearently.

[Kalyx triaD]

Eh?

[Kalyx triaD]

The Story. (http://xbox360.qj.net/Tomonobu-Itagaki-leaves-Team-Ninja-sues-Tecmo-for-damages/pg/49/aid/120784)

Damn, he single handidly saves Tecmo ten years ago and now this. He's abit of a smart-ass shit talker, but he made quality games atleast. Hopefully he joins (or begins) another team and creates some new franchises. Good luck with DOA 5, Tecmo.

[MCEazy]

w00t, just got dis an hour ago, pretty sweet so far not too difficult but not too easy ether on way of the warrior difficulty.

[ClockShot]

Just got mine. We'll see how long it takes before I throw my controller throught the TV.

[ClockShot]

God, this guide I picked up ain't worth shit. Better off figuring out the tricky stuff on my own.

[D Mac]

I heard this was slightly dissapointing.

[MCEazy]

Its still pretty good, not as good as the first mind you, but some of the new weapons are pretty kool and the graphics r nice.

Hardass game tho, took me 6-7 tries to beat that fuken spiderclan sub boss in chapter 2 since i saved w/ no health items... that boss is cheap

[ClockShot]

I heard this was slightly dissapointing.

Camera sucks ass and the plot is rather dull. EGM didn't even give it a full review. They just threw it in their wrap-up section.

[U-Warrior]

Wrap up section is for stuff they don't have time to do a full review for. Has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Next issue will have one.

[MCEazy]

Ya they'll have one in the august issue no doubt

[Kane Knight]

This shit is mad confusing yo.

[MCEazy]

This shit is mad confusing yo.

the story? if so then ya its fukin convoluted at times, better to just ignore the cut screens really.

[Kalyx triaD]

Played the demo. Camera can kiss my ass, and it isn't clear where to go next at times. The controls are spot-on and I like leaving a scene full of body parts. A Lock-On feature would have done this game much good, or atleast pulling the camera back abit.

Still: DMC4 > NG2

[U-Warrior]

Do you start out with all those weapons in the actual game, or was that just for the demo?

The talons are fucking beastly. Like those the best, I think. Although the move where I took the big scythe and slashed the guy to pieces made me leap out of my seat and do a good ol' fist pump.

Dunno kalyx. Have yet to perform a leaping fist pump in DMC4.

[Kalyx triaD]

I believe you mean those moments when you 'bocome' the character and get lost in the bloodlust of the action? Yes. I get that alot with Dante.

I got it a few times with this ninja, too. When I executed four ninjas in a row I was like, "Anybody else?!? Anybody!?! C'mon!!"

Now I feel like playing it now.

[U-Warrior]

I need to finish Ninja Gaiden before I get this.

If you own the first one on xbox, but havn't played much of it, is NG Sigma worth the investment? Or should I just save the money and stick to the original?

Keeping in mind that I bought the original for only 20 bucks.

[D Mac]

You can download Ninja Gaiden Black from Xbox live Marketplace for 15 bucks.

[Kane Knight]

LAWL.

[U-Warrior]

You can download Ninja Gaiden Black from Xbox live Marketplace for 15 bucks.

15 bucks is not worth the extra features of black, considering I already have the original. Sigma is the first one, but with PS3 graphics, and that big-tittied chick as a playable character.

[ClockShot]

Wow. Volf was way to easy.

[Indifferent Clox]

ok this second boss is kind of kicking my ass but i've opnly been playing against him for like 15 mintues

[MCEazy]

I'm really taking my time on this game, only on chapter 8 against the blind ogre subboss.

You talkin about the Spider ninja boss in chapter 2 Clox? IF so then good luck, its a cheap battle what with all those other ninjas there as well.

[Indifferent Clox]

no i'm talking about the last guy, the spider dude was easy.

[ClockShot]

Only at chapter 9. FINALLY got my Vigoorian Flails. :love:

[Indifferent Clox]

I'm on chapter 4 now. DOGS WITH SWORDS WTF!

[ClockShot]

Alright!

BIG 25 mission expansion coming over live on July 25th. Cost is only 800 points.

Consider me sold.
