Team Ninja's Lead designer "Tomonobu Itagaki" has a great love for the Xbox platform and in his interview with IGN had a whole bunch of things to say about his future projects, "I just want everyone to know that we are going to continue bringing out the newest releases on the Xbox platform before they're on other systems" and he has at least 5 titles lined up for Xbox360 owners including "Ninja Gaiden 2" & "Code Cronus", enjoy.
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.
A new Ninja Gaiden game could be outsourced to another developer, but only if it's one that fits the Ninja Gaiden pedigree.
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.
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...
Damn nice, Ninja Gaiden 2 such a great example again from innovative exclusives only on 360.
Gimme the game!
everyday i wake up and log on to the net, i am always greeted with more reason of why it is good to own a 360. i am in my happy place. Thank you Tomonobu Itagaki for the 1st good reason for today...(so far)
Im so glad I own a 360!
It's really good the he's so supportive of the Xbox/360.Team Ninja and Capcom, who have so far been coming through with flying colors for the 360, are turning out to be a nice potent combo for 360 owners.
Ninja Gaiden...argh! It's so hard!
But you know what? I respect that. I'm looking forward to getting my ass handed to me with NG2!
