For the most part, the combat here still holds up pretty well, with a variety of satisfying weapons that range from a spear gun, to a whip, nunchucks, claws, and plenty of flavors of swords, staffs, and spears. The core of Ninja Gaiden primarily focuses on its fast-paced combat. At the very least, the option to purchase these as DLC would have been nice personally I would likely have been willing to pay an extra 5 bucks or so for the Black version of Ninja Gaiden 1 and original release of Ninja Gaiden 2. While it might be a lot to ask for additional versions of games that are already included, I think given how barebones this re-release is otherwise, it wouldn’t have been too crazy to ask for. One additional nitpick I would be remiss in not noting is that arguably the best versions of Ninja Gaiden 1 ( Ninja Gaiden Black ) and 2 (the original release) are not present in any form. Rachel’s missions in Ninja Gaiden 1, for instance, largely force you to repeat older levels, just with a different, less versatile character. Unfortunately, not all of this content was especially good, and in many cases was forced onto the campaign. If you’re not familiar with the distinction, the Sigma versions were themselves definitive editions of Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, and added on to those games with a good deal of additional content. For some reason, though, the pre-rendered cinematics haven’t been touched at all, which means that every so often gameplay will be interrupted to introduce a climactic showdown in stunning modern 480p.īeyond this, I didn’t notice any changes from the Sigma versions of these titles. Resolution is higher, models and textures have been improved, and the game still manages to run at a solid 60 fps. The most significant change to the older Sigma titles is the improved graphical fidelity, which is a welcome addition.
So don’t come in expecting a 2D side-scrolling affair this is a re-release of the sixth/seventh generation console titles. For the uninitiated, the Master Collection is a re-release of the 3D Ninja Gaiden games, originally titled Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3, and not the 2D titles, which were also labeled as Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3.
NINJA GAIDEN 3 PC RELEASE DATE SERIES
Gaiden 1 Black and the original Gaiden 2 still remain two of my favorite hack and slashes to-date, although the series seems continually dedicated to spite me in return. Ryu Hayabusa’s 3D adventures are back with the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, featuring Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, and readily accessible for a new generation of players to do their best to help Ryu enact his quest to create a worldwide shortage of ninjas and thugs for hire by murdering them all.ĭon’t get me wrong, though, I actually do like Ninja Gaiden quite a bit. It will, however, give you the chance to experience what life as a blood soaked psychopath is like. Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to be a ninja? No? Well then good, because Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection certainly won’t do that. By Paul Broussard, posted on 22 June 2021 / 2,852 Views
