YAIBA: Ninja Gaiden Z coming to current generation?
- Thread starter nolifebr
- Start date
Yes, his studio produced it and the development partner was the same one he worked with on Lost Planet 3. Even at the time, people were like "why the hell are you working with them again?" and his answer was he was friends with the higher-ups at the company and he trusted they wouldn't screw up again... shows how much he knew.
Yaiba also contains the first in-game appearance of Beck from Mighty no.9, he's a player skin or something.
Wow, never knew this. Looks like it was DLC, but I'm not sure if it's available anymore.
Also, holy cow! I cannot believe that Mighty No 9 started its kickstarter 5 1/2 freaking years ago!
LOL, coming from you this post made me laugh even harder than I would normally(based on you being in the BC thread).
Here is the actual link to the trademark:

Currently it's just a trademark, but I looked through Koei Tecmo's past few years of trademarks and they don't seem to file for anything that they're not actually using during that time. So judging by the past, they'll probably be doing something with this. Not sure why. I never actually played the game, but yeah going by this thread the general impression is that it's bad. Hopefully if they're remastering it, they're actually going into and fixing it.
Edit: Small mistake. Koei Tecmo trademarked "Eat! Fat! Fight!" in December 2016 / January 2017 in Europe / United States and never did anything with it. Eat! Fat! Fight! is a WiiWare game that came out in 2009.

That seems to be the only standout though.

If they do every ng, then fine. If just Yaiba, then this has to be a passion project, right? Even a port of 3 would probably sell better.
Makes sense. It'd be the cheapest one to remaster given how little there was to the game.
It is, that's why it became a meme in the first place.

It's a UE3 game by a western studio, it's probably just a quicker/easier port job than the good games.
This is my sentiment as well. Black and 2 deserve a remaster more than any other action game I can think of. If this turns out to be true, this is really disappointing.
"Hey Team, we need to test the waters to see if there is still a Ninja Gaiden audience out there. What's the best way to do that?"
"Makes the most sense to port YAIBA: Ninja Gaiden Z over boss."

You play for like 20 minutes and think "Hey, this controls alright, why was this slammed so hard?" and then you recognize that the rest of the game is just these 20 minutes repeated over and over again with dozens and dozens of "bullet"sponge enemies.
Nobody remembers Yaiba LOL
While not a great game by any stretch, it's also not terrible. Sometimes you just want to hack things apart. I have other games with deeper combat systems for when I really want to hack things apart. Like Oneechanbara Z II.
I guess. I just can't imagine this selling well enough to justify the port.
I think its way worse than those three and probably the worst b-tier game in the genre last gen. One of the shittiest games I've ever played and I've played alot of bad games. Its a shame cause the artstyle and premise is pretty cool but dont get fooled, this game is terrible. Atleast thats how I felt when I played it.
