Ninja Gaiden coming to PS3

PS3 News | First screens of the PS3 port inside.
Japanese game Bible Famitsu has revealed that Tecmo will be bringing the original Xbox game Ninja Gaiden Black to the PS3 as Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Developed by Team Ninja, it will feature improved graphics, real time cinema scenes (instead of CG), new levels and a new playable character.

Of course, Ninja Gaiden Black was itself a special edition of the first Ninja Gaiden game for the Xbox (from the long dormant series last seen on the Super Nintendo). But while they have been Microsoft stalwarts for a few years now, Team Ninja used to be known known for re-releasing the same game multiple times on multiple formats - over the years Tecmo released a staggering seven distinct versions of Dead or Alive 2, for example. Apparently Team Ninja are considering the project the 'complete' version of Ninja Gaiden, so after this they may actually move on and create a sequel. Between Dead or Alive Extreme sequels, of course.

No mention of a release date yet, but check the media panels for the first three screens.

Hey this is good news. Might stop me buying Ninja Gaiden Black at over inflated prices on eBay (despite the game being a 'classic' release for PAL gamers).

Why the hell didn't NGB get a proper release in Australia???

Only because Microsoft hate Australian gamers, I mean what other option can there be LOL

The real option is that they had too many of the first NG in stock and
ehy deemed it to silly to order more NG in.

It was a difficult game, but that wasn't what put me off. I just found it boring icon_sad.gif

Granted, I've never really liked those sorts of action/beat-em-up games, but I thought I'd at least get some fun out of it given the awesome reviews it got. It was only the pretty visuals that kept me going as long as I did!

Cheaper to spend <$200 on for an Xbox and Ninja Gaiden than $820-1120 on the PS3 icon_wink.gif

I'm pretty sure I've seen it around. Black isn't really that much different though is it? I thought the only main difference was that it had Dog Ninja (easier) mode.

Wtf is going on? How about they get those new characters and weapons and put it in Ninja Gaiden 2?! F@#K this Sigma sh!t!!

Of course, but I was already planning on buying a PS3. Ninja Gaiden Sigma itself is cheaper than an Xbox and Ninja Gaiden Black.

Yeah, I agree, seems like a cash cow for Sony, I wonder if this will affect NG2 on 360?
