Ninja Gaiden

Microsoft finally updated the Xbox emulation layer of the Xbox 360, allowing me to capture this almost flawless looking 720p 60 fps video of Ninja Gaiden! Power PC required and VLC recommenced, but boy does this game still look good!

Here are the first 15 images of Ninja Gaiden Hurricane Pack Vol 2. A lot of the ennemies look familiar just with a new skin, but there is one new type of monster. Rachel also makes an appearance.

The Ninja Gaiden update is once again a sight to behold with these 12 gorgeous images. Ryu in his new costume looks a lot like a sentai character.

Tecmo finally released the first images Ninja Gaiden's Master Ninja Tournament Round 2. Team Ninja does not disappoint with new monsters, new bosses, new weapons and new skins for Ryu. The game will also be faster, with an even more vicious AI and a new camera system. This content will be downloadable by everyone on Xbox live on July 12.

The first reviews of Ninja Gaiden are online since a few minutes. Not surprisingly they are all very positive, even if the game is not flawless especially the camera. Gamespy (5/5), 1UP (9/10), IGN (9.4/10), Gamespot (9.4/10). A few new images are also available for your viewing pleasure.

I just can't grow tired of watching people play the Ninja Gaiden demo. This time our friend Volucritas demonstrates his skills with this video of the japanese demo in hard mode. Very worth watching, it helps waiting for the game release next week !
Volucritas lives in Japan and should hopefully do more videos for xboxyde in the future. Check out his comments about this video.

About 10 days before the hopefully final release Tecmo, Tecmo keeps hyping Ninja Gaiden with these few more renders of the game. Some are never seen before, a few were posted on other sites and maybe some of them were here, but they are very worth watching anyway !

The big US sites were lucky enough to get yesterday a full test copy of Ninja Gaiden. They are all very positive ! Reah them there : IGN (new screens), Gamespot, 1UP, Game informer.

The latest famitsu got the scoop detailing all the main characters of Ninja Gaiden. DOAX_Izuna Otoshi of the excellent neotaku translated all the profiles and allowed me to post them here. Enjoy a bit more informations about all the characters !

I'm ashamed. Yes I admit it, after seeing the incredible video I'm ashamed of all I presented about that game before. This one is from the japanese version of the demo and is just totally mindblowing. Watch a master in action while I go hide in a dark corner.
