The PS Vita version of 2007′s PlayStation 3 dice ‘em up Ninja Gaiden Sigma was satisfying evidence of just how comfortable a full, lightning-fast console action game can feel on a handheld.
Duly, Team Ninja’s announcement last month that a sequel – Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus – is currently in development came as very welcome news.
"The original Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus (which was the Playstation Vita port of the Playstation 3 port of the Xbox remake of the Xbox original) worked as a great proof of concept. Prior to its launch, Sony had been hyping up the Vita as a console on the go: literally a handheld PS3."
"When the PlayStation Vita first released in the US, we got a number of fantastic titles to play around with. One of best titles was Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, which was yet another port of the now infamous Xbox title. After seeing its popularity on the Vita, Tecmo Koei decided to be a little more ambitious by bringing over the second title in the series. However, unlike the first Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus features new modes and addition content, which is unique for the Vita. While this sounds good on paper, is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus worth your time or is it a quick port with some token extras?" - JPS
im going to buy this one.. I love NG so having it on the go is great.. Already got part one free with PS Plus so ill be buying this & NG sigma 3 plus whenever it rolls around
I wouldn't expect Ninja Gaiden Sigma 3 Plus for the Vita or even at all. Sigma 2 Plus has a hard enough time running perfectly on the PlayStation Vita, so I doubt they will attempt to bring over this one.
Also just for fun / semantics, it would probably be called "Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge Plus" =P
I'll wait for NGS3 (haven't owned it yet).. I already got the 2nd one for 15 bucks several months back on the PS3.
Too bad NGS2+ doesn't have what I greatly appreciated with NGS+ (native res + filter, very stable framerate).
Maybe I'll pick it up on a sale.
GamesAsylum looks at what's out in the UK this week, including Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 2, Runner 2 and Phantom Breaker.
I hope it looks better than the first one. :/ That was bad.
Nothing is cooler than playing NGS+ on Vita and using the nunchucks for hours. Hearing that sound and watching Ryu do a beautiful ballet of whoop ass with them is probably some of the most fun I've ever had gaming. Once you learn and understand all the chucks combos, it really turns the game into a psychotic beast. Looking forward to sequel.
