Unbelievable. My hype is through the fucking roof. I can't believe this is actually happening.

You'd hope for this to lead to an eventual NG4...

I honestly would love for MS to pay to make it happen, if they have to. A sort of a Bloodborne/SFV situation, where it wouldn't be made otherwise.

Imagine a NG game on the Series X?

Damn guys, are the Sigma games that bad?
Sigma 1 is basically Black but with some dumb choices and playable characters who aren't fun to ruin pacing.
Sigma 2 is basically a different game to 2 which turns it from a gory almost musou amount of enemies game to something which is almost just a slower Black-esque experience with purple mist instead of blood. It's sort of hard to compare them both, as they're effectively different games altogether.

Someone really needs to break down why Sigma was so bad other then "lol reduced enemies" and "lol sigma"

Ninja Gaiden on the fly, let's go. Now if only we could get Nioh 1 and 2 on Switch in the future.

No, just poorly balanced in some areas that people complained were too difficult with some unnecessarily added extras.

For example, in Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black, there's a section of the second level that got a decent amount of complaints due to the way some enemies ambush you in a hallway. Instead of rebalancing the encounter for Sigma, they just removed the enemies entirely, so you'll go through a few hallways that are just barren.

And this happens across the whole game with enemies and some puzzles.

And then one of the characters relegated to cutscenes becomes playable for four or so levels, and she's ass. At least characters added to Sigma 2 and Razor's Edge are decent.

Initially I was excited for this, but seeing how disliked the Sigma versions are compared to the original, maybe I'll wait for a sale price.

Nope definitely an over reaction.


It's bad. I had the chance to play the original Ninja Gaiden 2 and the only improvements was the improved camera and faster loading after dying.

Everything else is downright worse shoehorning bosses and adding Rachael, Momoji and Ayane which adds nothing

Have you played the originals? If not Sigma will likely be fine. The games are only bad compared to the originals. Without that point of view I'd imagine most people would find them to be fine.

Hopefully tecmo do the right thing and price this at £30 max

Shame it's Sigma, but NG1 is still a great game regardless. A ton of good content (and some mediocre) if you've never played em.
