Welcome to the start of CVG's exclusive Ninja Gaiden II week. You may have already noticed everybody's favourite ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, staring you down when you jumped onto the CVG homepage this morning? Go take a look if you didn't, CVG spent more time than you'd imagine doing that (well Andy did).
So to kick off an awesome week of coverage, which will include previews, screens, movies and competitions, CVG are going to start with a look back at the Ninja Gaiden series and in particular the main events of Ninja Gaiden on Xbox (you've been warned if you never played it - there will be spoilers). It's been going longer than you think.
It's killing time all night long. Slay and beat through this list featuring hack and slash games on the original Xbox.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 debuted in 2009; ahead of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's launch, it's time to look back at one of Tecmo Koei's best titles.
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.
Great game, cant wait, GOTY candidate for sure.
Lol! At CVG, they have this ninja gaiden ad that says "stare death in the face. Rollover to challenge Ryu now." As soon as you do, Ryu just jumps at you and hacks the camera with his scythe and then you die. I thought it was hilarious.
This is a pre-purchase for me, it looks stellar.
