Last month, it was announced that the Nintendo Switch was getting a Ninja Gaiden launch of the trilogy. But stop the disgust of some, this package includes Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 and Sigma 2.
That’s right, Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II are not included. Announced in 2005, Ninja Gaiden Black was a reworked and more difficult version of the original 2004 game. The game has been enhanced for the Xbox One X, but has been removed from the Game Pass. Ninja Gaiden II was developed exclusively for the Xbox 360.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 and Sigma 2 reissues of the PlayStation 3 were changed, so for a “Master Collection”, many fans I prefer to play noSigma games.
In the most recent Weekly Famitsu, Fumihiko Yasuda, Team Ninja brand manager, explains why Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II were not included in the collection.
“I am aware There are pros and cons”Said Yasuda. “For me, personally, Ninja Gaiden II it was my debut, so I have a deep feeling for it. But there is another reason for this choice. To be honest, only fragments of data remain. We couldn’t save them. However, when developing Sigma Plus and Sigma Plus 2 [for the PlayStation Vita], we have so much of this type of data together as we could and organize it. Because we use to use this is the reason why we select Sigma. “

How Kotaku previously reported, maybe that’s why it’s up to pirates to preserve old games.
