DualShockers Writes: "Mention the name Ninja Gaiden to any action game fan and you’re bound to yield a delighted smile. Since the first installment hit arcades more than twenty-one years ago, the series has become synonymous with the term ‘ninja game’ and known the world over for its unforgiving difficulty and enemy AI.
With the series reboot Ninja Gaiden 3 set to hit home consoles in just a few more days, there’s never been a better time to reflect on the series’ history, which is much longer and storied than most people know. Welcome to another very special installment of Then and Now."
Take a step back through time and discover the history of the legendary Ninja Gaiden series!
Love the NES trilogy! Great gameplay, design, story, cinematics, characters, music! Total package.
The original NES game is still.one of the hardest games I've almost beaten in my life I believe I was on the second final boss using original hardware and carts no save states but I could never finish it
Man, I finally braved trying Master Ninja in Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and… man, I suck, lol. I really want to try for the platinum because I love the game so much, but yeesh…
I remember Ninja Gaiden Black and how awesome the hype and support was around for that. The changes from the base game and the world rankings we could check out in the menus. Played through the OG game once and Black at least twice.
Never played the original 2D games but I'm excited to go through 2 Black soon.
I was there as a young boy playing the first Ninja Gaiden in The arcade. It was awesome for the time! I’ve played every one skins and on every one of those systems. And here I am, as a 50 year old man giddy with joy playing through the most recent release, with more on the way! Heck yeah it’s a great series!
The game will get "improved visuals" and performance upgrades.
It needs a Pro patch. I started it but since I knew Pro was coming I’m going to start over. The game is good (and challenging which I really like) but it needs some more power to fix some of it’s performance issues. I think the engine isn’t great but with PSSR and more power it should run a lot smoother
Good because it needs it badly. The combat is excellent but the graphics are awful.
Many of you who have already played Rise of the Ronin may have noticed some elements of our previous works such as Ninja Gaiden and Nioh from Team Ninja. Today we’re excited to share some of the behind-the-scenes development stories for the first time. Plus we share details on an upcoming game update.
not a good title FPS RUSSIA. should have gone with: "new content added'. ... or something like that
try : 'New and expanded content 5 new Ally Missions added. + Addition of dojo training partners"
Ninja Gaiden: Black was really the only reason I wanted a XBOX back in the day.
I just started playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 after all the talk and news started about NG3 and loving every second of it! Slashing your way through a group of Spider Ninja unscathed and pulling off Multiple Ultimate Techniques is VERY rewarding.
But.....I'll be waiting for a year or so after NG3 releases in hopes that a Sigma version will follow. They already confirmed the possibility ;)
