A new Ninja Gaiden game could be outsourced to another developer, but only if it's one that fits the Ninja Gaiden pedigree.
Two of Tecmo's classic series, Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden, are getting new games with a possible reboot of both series.
Why do we need a remake of Dead or Alive, instead of a new installment in the series ?
Fighting games are too shallow, they were good at first.. up til around Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, because they had a ton of extra modes and challenges and stuff. Everything after is basically the same, or with even less content.
Ninja Gaiden is a classic franchise that originated on the NES. It was successfully remastered in the mid-2000s but then faded away. What happened?
Ninja Gaiden on the SNES had such amazing music, and the gameplay was absolutely brutal but perfect. I also remember all the hype surrounding Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox, and that became one of my biggest reasons for buying one. Ninja Gaiden was the demon/dark souls game that I and so many others grew up playing, and just like those games, there were no excuses for dying because the core mechanics were rock solid.
To use an ancient phrase: "it got woke."
No, seriously. A game intended for action nerds who do energy drinks trough I-Vs and habitually watch ninja movies, someone thought it was a good idea to include enemies including psycho killer mercs, murderous mutants and literal feed on human suffering demons, wage slave security guards who only beg and plead for their lives when cornered. With no option not to kill them.
There was also that lame climbing mechanic...
The Gamer Writes "Ninja Gaiden has been around a long time, and some things simply don't make any sense."
Everything was a good question except 2. 2 is that dead horse that ninja Gaiden 2 fans with a platform will not let die. Even though they said exactly why they changed it in multiple interviews.
They differences between 2 and sigma 2 aren’t copy paste. Legit there are added functions, removed mechanics. They added new enemies and playable characters with online multiplayer.
Sigma 2 made sacrifices to simply do more. And it’s not a bad thing, both games forever exist on digital stores. So why keep making a big huff about it?
Eh, beside team ninja, its platinum games and both could do good but also bad going by there history. Dmc5 devs is another or a Namco team.
