EGM Editor Confirms Ninja Gaiden II for PS3 was "just a mistake"

Responding to rumors spurred by the latest of Electronic Gaming Monthly that listed Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden II for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, an editor for EGM cleared up any confusion.

In a post at NeoGAF, the editor, "BryanI" remarks: "This was just a mistake on our end (damn those late-night deadlines!). NG2–as far as I know–is only coming to the 360."

Yep we never needed this overated game. We would much rather buy the same type of game for like $20 called Ninja Gaiden Sigma or play true next gen action slashers such as DMC4 and God of War 3.

I don't think Xbots were scared, many gamers more than likely still have TGS on their hardrives.

Xbots are smart they know durring TGS there was no PS3 version due to many facts told to us in the TGS video and know there couldn't be a PS3 version made from the ground up(or even a port, if Tecmo did that) for PS3 in 3 or 4 months apon release beside the 360 version.

It was the rabid attacks and the flood of trolls that were making people angry with their wild theories and senseless bashing.

unlike fanboys i'm not going to claim you've never played NG, but i disagree with you on at least 2 levels...

1) You cant say NG2 is overrated - its not even finished yet!

2) If you've given NG a proper play (finished it or at least gotten a fair way through ) you'll seeit is a very different game to God of war and DMC. DMC is a pure button mashing fest (damn fun though) and God of war is similar, but more puzzle oriented. NG rewards timing and good fighting technique - its more a game for the purists imo, and its much more about the combat than the puzzles.

NG was my favorite game of the last generation (possibly of all time) and i'm obviously buying NG2 on my 360 the moment it comes out. But i think it would be a great addition to the ps3 library if it was ever released and i personally feel that it will be a better game than both God of war 3 and DMC4.

The Mart's personal opinion about PLAYSTATION® 3 is unwarranted and has no relevance to the topic at hand. The topic is pertaining to Ninja Gaiden II not being ported to PLAYSTATION® 3 at the present time. Dark Sniper encourages everyone to please do their part and report TheMART's comments as spam. N4G will be a better place with your contributions.

Nothing for Tecmo to clear up they just claimed a few months ago it was going to be designed for the 360 hardware and was exclusive announcing MSFT as the developer.

DMC4 rocks just got through playing it, its going to take some getting use to.

I don't think the PS3 has higher quality control mechanics but I do understand that the Dualshock must be faster and maybe more controlled due to the Dualshock being a more crammed controller(don't have to reach as far to pull moves off). What do you think?.

The only thing that bothers me is the punching bag AI.

As much as I like PS3 and dislike Xbox, I'm really happy that it was put to rest and everything was cleared up. I didn't care whether it came to PS3 or not---it's being overhyped! I'm sure it will be good, but hype can ruin a title based on perspective.

Good for you Xbox 360 owners!

Microsoft should get out of the console business and just make games like Sega. The only reason they survived 5 years of losing money to make it to year where they may have drawn a net profit is because they've got hundreds of billions of dollars to waste. Reminds me of Ross Perot's presidential campaign. Why spend spend your billions on something that matters when you can throw it at a lost cause? Honestly, who was playing their Playstation 2 and thought: "I like this, but it would be better if Microsoft made it."

Why do you think that it's a good idea that microsoft gets out of making hardware? I live in the United States and every person that I know that plays video games owns a 360 and I am the only person that I know that owns a PS3. I'm sure it's because of your lack of research that you would have such an ignorant comment.
