Ninja Gaiden Black Screens [XBox]

[bapenguin]

Gametab (http://www.gametab.com/xbox/ninja.gaiden.black/4297/) has a few screenshots of Ninja Gaiden Black.

Looks like the graphics are slightly improved.

I fail to understand the lack of ninja sleeves on that man.

Can't wait to pick this up. I'm looking forward to the mission mode on this bad boy :D

I noticed 2 Ryu's fighting. I had to dig around on the net and found this...

It also has a easier setting also ;)

Ninja Gaiden 2 on 360 needs co-op mulitplayer, baby! 4 way split screen on a high-def set. Probably wouldnt work so well on live... timing is everything in that game.

Damn.

I played throught Ninja Gaiden and the Packs several times on every difficulty. When I heard about Black I wasn't very interested...But after reading those articles I am psyched. Its a complete overhaul and then some. Jeez. Those guys really love their game. Takes a rare developer to put that much effort into a single title.

Some quotes I liked from the article:

"When Microsoft was designing the Xbox 360, they researched what parts of various genres of games were spending most of their processor cycles on. One of the results of this research is that the next-generation Xbox will feature an architecture that allows for even more power to be assigned to processing enemy AI. In that sense, the Xbox 360 will be a platform that makes is easy to design a game where the enemies are smart."

&

"...the competition's action games, the state of Japanese game development, shooting while standing still, and the secret behind Team NINJA's success (it's more than just big boobs)."

Yeah, the tremedously tight, round, bubble butts help too.

I didn't really like Ninja Gaiden, but man, I really love Team Ninja's committment and enthusiasm over their game. Good for them.

This interview is pretty funny. Itagaki says some bizarre stuff about Ninja Dog mode.
