There may be more details in the full interview – the article on Game’s is only a summary – but Yasuda specifically refers to working on a sequel ‘someday’, something he’s already hinted at before. The Sigma versions are different rather than being worse though, so this isn’t a disaster by any means, and the versions presented in the Master Collection are undoubtedly more accessible for newcomers to the series. To the average observer the differences are minor, but the changes to Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 are more obvious, with less enemies on screen at once and more health for the player. Ninja Gaiden Black is favoured by some fans for being more difficult and because the Sigma version forces you to play as other characters, while featuring brighter colours and lighting. In fact for fans of Ninja Gaiden that are prepared to overlook the similarities Ninja Blade is actually well worth a play through. Japanese developers are notoriously bad at preserving their games, with classics such as Panzer Dragoon Saga and the original pre-rendered backdrops for Final Fantasy 7 lost to time, but it’s rare to see such a relatively recent game suffer the same problem.Īn interview with brand manager Fumihiko Yasuda in Famitsu Weekly suggests the code may exist somewhere but that it is ‘scattered’ and ‘cannot be salvaged’ – or at least it would not be cost effective to do so.
