Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Slices Up The Nintendo Switch This June

I can't wait. I wish he was in smash instead of pyra. Wow NL is really waiting to publish that article.

Oh cool, I can play Ninja Gaiden 1, 2, and Garbage all in one.

So glad the leaks are true but I wasn't expecting Razor's Edge be part of it. Just Sigma 1 & 2 would be okay, Razor's Edge included is just the icing on there anyways.

@1ofUs Same, though cool for those who wanted Pyra.

I wish they actually remastered this, but as long as the framerate is good, I am interested.

Is ninja gaiden sigma the same as ninja gaiden black? Cause if it is, that’s a day one for me.

@JeanPaul I believe it is supposed to be an enhanced port. I can't say specifics unfortunately due to it being the only I have not played out of the three.

@JeanPaul Yeap Ninja Gaiden Sigma is an HD remastered version of Ninja Gaiden Black. I just hope it's the US version and not the other versions cause the game was censored everywhere else except the US.

Sigma is even better than Black. This is Black with much better graphics and 60 fps. This came originally on PS3 and should at least look like that version

@MS7000 @JeanPaul apparently it was an enhanced remake that, despite adding stuff, wasn’t as good as the original. Performance issues, censoring and reduced difficulty left a lot of fans calling it the inferior version.

Same for Sigma 2.

Personally I’ve not played any of them, so can’t really judge, and will wait for reviews.

@JeanPaul Sort of. They changed some things, added others. Some fans prefer the non Sigma versions but they're still solid.

yes. Nintendo had a great direct. cannot wait for this collection. always loved this series old and new.

When Sigma 2 has the gore level of the XBox 360 version of Ninja Gaiden 2,this would be a perfect package. But I guess, they will just port the PS3 games

Never played that series past the NES ones, to be fair, so maybe I'll try them out.

Please run well, please be uncensored, that's all I want.

@Ghost_of_Hasashi Great, as long as it plays as smooth and fast as I remember, I’ll get this on day one, such a great game.

This was a highlight for sure. Funny, the other deal I finally unsealed my wii u copy of 3 but haven't played it yet. Should have left it sealed lol

@gaga64 fingers crossed that the difficulty stays the same, performance goes as smooth as before and no censorship.

As long as they're all on the cartridge, I'll bite.

I'm glad I held off on importing the Wii U version of Ninja Gaiden 3, then.

Awwww, I was hoping Nintendo would handle the publishing.

Ok this was unexpected but welcome. I never finished sigma 2. Day 1 for me.

Physical release with the 3 games on the cart please

Only played Razors Edge, looking forward to play the first 2.

@Paulo You know it'll only be one game and you'll have to download the other two.

My wallet is gonna die. SO many games I want.

Skyward Sword, PVZ, Miitopia, and Ninja Gaiden.

Hope NG MC runs well on switch

This was the one announcement I was hoping for given the leaks late last year. Best action games ever in my opinion! And now portable!

Not for me. Enjoy to those that get it.

I've always been interested in these games but never played them. I just hope it's possible to turn off blood as I don't enjoy gore in my games.

Looks like it could be fun

@Miyamotosan well, let's hope not. Metro has both games on the cart with no download whatsoever. Talk about a physical Switch release done right.

I completed Ninja Gaiden 3 on Wii U, but i won't buy the collection only because of the difficulty.
I remember being stuck in NG 1 on PS3 10-15 years ago.

I’m down to play 1 and 2 again. I had both of those and played them to death.

Never played 3, though.

cant wait to relive those games

@HotGoomba Couldn't have said it better myself

Hey, the fact that I can play as two of my favorite ninjas (Kasumi and Ayane) means that this will be a definite buy for me.

I’ll be getting this for PS5

@Ventilator These versions had an extra difficulty setting, making it less brutal for those who enjoy the combat and story, but don't want to get destroyed every battle.

Great games and including NG3 has me tempted to buy them again, since I didn't have a WiiU to try that entry.

This was my favorite announcement of the Direct BY FAR, as long as the framerate holds up I'm buying on day one!

I’m disappointed these are the SIGMA versions. The original versions (supervised by Itagaki) were superior. I’m still happy to get them, however.

@1ofUs He is probably the last DLC. Ryu needs to be in here because I feel he is the last NES 3rd party legacy character along with Simon and Mega Man.

I can see him bringing Double Dragon and Contra as Mii fighter outfits.

Now I want a dead or alive collection next! I feel there is hope since they released dead or alive dimensions on the 3ds (which was great and becoming a bit pricey, by the way). Nintendo is working closely with Tecmo so it’s possible!

I don't want to bring this up every time there's a collection but lately collection tend to abuse this, for once please include all the games on the cartridge.

@xxx128 I’ve never watched a Direct live. I was hyped about this. Caught it from the beginning. By the half way point, I was over it. So many anime type games. Lots of bad dialogue. Bad voice acting. The games outside of that didn’t appeal to me. How can they hype up a Direct and focus on games coming a year or two from now? Splatoon was never fun to me. It felt like one of those YouTube bloggers, who will reel you in with, “20 AMAZING AAA GAMES FOR THE MONTH OF WHATEVER!” Only by the end, your like, “they scraped the bottom of the barrel for content.

THIS is what I've been hoping for since Day 1 of the Switch!! I love me some NG and I played the crap out of the first one (and Black) on the X-Box and Razor's Edge on Wii U. Never had any console that 2 was available for though, so this will be my first time playing it.
I'm seriously hoping for a physical release with all games on the cart though. I'd have been willing to pay full price for each of the games if they got individual physical releases anyway...

Ah, this Ninja Gaiden Collection also comes to Switch. A PS4 release on the same day. I bet for better graphics or resolution on PS4, we'll see

@weelz79 MS published the Ninja Gaiden games on Xbox so thats why this collection is the Sigma games.

@Kintypoo121 My version of NG 1 didn't have any easier setting...If i remember wrong, it were still too hard.
If they add the difficulty that NG 3 had, i might buy the collection.

@Ventilator I think it was added to NG1 & 2 in the PS3/Vita collection It'll surely be in this new trilogy!

I recall a friend buying NG1 for the OG Xbox and telling me it's impossible, passed me the pad and I then proceeded to get pummeled by the first boss 😂 Over and over!

@Kintypoo121 Yeah, it's hard.
NG 3 have Hero difficulty which is some kind of "god mode" and even then it's possible to lose when you fight the big metal dinosaur boss if you don't dodge enough as he drains your "unlimited health" fast. lol

I will wait for reviews to see if they added this easy mode in NG 1 and 2.

@Ventilator That's the mode! Yeah, it's still possible to die (I sure know it haha, had trouble against a dino in NG1), but it's a comfort

Yep, let's hope it's in there

Why does Nintendo like killing my wallet
