I clicked this post thinking Sony had done something drasticly different from what they've been talking about.

I'm sorely disappointed.

If it was Ninja Gaiden 2 I'd be impressed. Or if Ninja Gaiden Black wasn't on the 360 backward compatible list. But as it stands, even though it'll have some added content and improved visuals, it's still the same game that you can get for $20 on Xbox/360 right now rather than waiting a good while (it's only 25% complete) for the $60 PS3 version.

I don't have Xbox or 360 and Ninja Gaiden was the only great game that Xbox EVER made (IMHO LOL).

So this is GREAT news for me.

I personally don't see why they're making Rachel playable in their [possibly bland] remake. The story in Ninja Gaiden was almost non-existant. It's like giving the player another perspective in watching some guy take a #1.

Re: Good news about PS3?

The game was terrific but the story was pretty much ********.

As per all Itagaki games.

This game = NO.

It's way too soon for a remake of Ninja Gaiden.

Just make the sequel dammit!

Re: Good news about PS3?

It sounds pretty cool, but wasn't Ninja Gaiden Black enough? Now they're just beating a dead horse. I long for the storylines of Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2 to be played out on current or next gen. Too bad it'll never happen.

They ****ing already did Ninja Gaiden Black. When will Itagaki make a new game and quit sucking his own ****ing dick?

Jesus Christ.

Re: Good news about PS3?

Do ANY of you remember how LONG it took for the first one to come out?

I'm sure they'll make a sequel but it probably won't come out for at least THREE YEARS.

So I'm HAPPY about THIS because it'll be FUN.

Re: Good news about PS3?

I don't care, I never played the first one. But if I get a PS3 when I win the lottery, I'll get this.

Re: Good news about PS3?

I agree with you highwind about it being good for non Xboxers so they can play the game. I just don't see it as being a plus for PS3 since it's just another version of a game that's been out.

Re: Good news about PS3?

Ninja Gaiden is a wonderful game, but have you heard Itagaki talk? He is so pompous, and he puts down all these other developers - putting them down for REHASHING MATERIAL - and then what does he do? Makes Dead or Alive 4 Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. Ninja Gaiden Again.

Actually, Ninja Gaiden Again is a pretty great name.

Re: Good news about PS3?

They should let Rachel be able to use different weapons, because the one she's been carrying around is not that great. And I wonder if they will use the grappling hook she has?

Re: Good news about PS3?

SCEA told 1UP that the price drop in Japan for the 20 GB version of the PlayStation 3 is exclusive to that territory and that the scheme for the U.S. pricing of the console would remain identical. $499 for the 20GB version of the console and $599 for the 60GB SKU. However, as previously reported, both versions now have HDMI. (Link) The new JP price for the 20 gig PS3 is approx. $426 so it's a pretty good cut too bad it's not coming here.

But apparently Sony can't kiss you on one cheek without slapping the other. The higher-end PS3 will go for a set $599 stateside, but will carry an "open price" in Japan--meaning retailers can charge whatever price they like. Given that there will be only 100,000 units available on day one in the country, that price is likely to be quite high. (Link) Considering how retailers like to bundle to drive up prices at console launches with free reign to set their own price it's going to get painful.
