Team Ninja head Fumihiko Yasuda was interviewed by Famitsu about the decisions behind the development of Ninja Gaiden Master Collection.

So basically there is no online coop because they wouldn't spend time or money on it. Way to be honest there lol...

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Why couldn’t Team Ninja just rip the data off on a digital copy or a disc ?

[SoulWarrior]

Doesn't work like that sadly, they'd be able to extract some but would have to rebuild a lot of the games from scratch based off that, like SE did with KH1.5 collection, probably not worth thr financial investment for them.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

I wonder if Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2 will be series X enhanced with improved frame rates. Some of the enhanced older games to me at least look like remasters (e.g. Gears 3 on One X/ series X/S).

[Tacoboto]

I've been playing NG2 on my Series S - it runs pretty flawlessly at 60fps and the resolution looks way more crisp than 1080p on my 4K. Quick Resume even survived a power outage, the game's installed on an external HDD and loads quicker than I remember too.

"We adjusted the difficulty level so that one player can also clear tag missions."

[Father__Merrin]

Admittedly I played this on ninja dog mode it's extremely difficult

[Mozillayaseen]

Is there a difference graphically between the switch and the other consoles?I'm thinking of grabbing the switch version but i want to know if there is a difference graphically.If there is then i prefer to grab the superior version

[KillaJamm]

Tbh there is always a difference with any switch version, depends if portability is a selling point for you really.

[CobraKai]

I’d say wait till reviews come out. It looks like these are just remasters and not remakes. I honestly think that the Switch might be close to the bigger consoles since these are really just PS3 games.

[andron]

They mention version D for Switch which is the censored version. But that might be only in Japan. We'll have to wait and see...

[Rikimaru1977]

i don't think this is a good move, whynot just make a new NG game.

[Bnet343]

this is a good move baby, chill lol. its just the Sigma titles are weak. IDK what they were thinking removing blood. I played Sigma 1 Plus on the Vita and it had blood so can't they just add it again? Not sure.

[FYouDad]

They're probably testing the waters with sales to see if there's still a demand for the series since they're dine with Nioh. Yet they choose to halfass the release and still expect people to bite.

[CobraKai]

Well at least they were straightforward about why they only included the sigma games.

[Rachel_Alucard]

Oh how convenient the 2 titles Itagaki worked on aren't salvageable. Did you know when DOA2 was being made some guy from Koei just walked right in, asked to playtest the disc and just took it from his desk and published the game? Did you know that they view Itagaki quitting over him not receiving his bonus in 2008 as a dishonorable act and made Sigma not only for port reasons but to also reset Itagakis claim over the series. It is similar to how Konami is with Hideo Kojima not being mentioned and avoided speaking of.
