Garvaos from Plus XP writes "Since 2004 the Ninja Gaiden games have seen Ryu Hyabusa take on hordes of demons in order to save the world. This year at Gamescom the next game in the Ninja Gaiden franchise was announced, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, which sees players control the part ninja part cyborg Yaiba Kamikaze in his quest to hunt down Ryu Hyabusa and vanquish hordes of zombies in the process.
From the Gamescom offering alone it is clear that compared to previous Ninja Gaiden games, Ninja Gaiden Z is going to a different sort of beast. This game is a big departure from the main franchise, as it supports a new cell shaded graphical style and a new protagonist. There are also waves upon waves of zombies to slice and dice, and though some may say that Zombies have been done to death, they do breathe new life into the NG franchise."
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
KOEI Tecmo Recently filed a trademark application for the poorly reviewed Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z.
Wow! I seriously loved the first one. Don't know why it was reviewed poorly, it was fun as hell and the humor was great.
I seriously hope they make a sequel in the same style as the first.
Finally got around to playing this one this year. I understand why it got bashed in the reviews but I still enjoyed it as a whole. The combat combos were solid and the traversal prompts looked sweet.
Twinfinite Writes: Koei Tecmo's Nioh shares a lot in common with both Ninja Gaiden and Dark Souls. Could the new title be the future for Team Ninja's flagship series?
