Yaiba - Ninja Gaiden Z was Tecmo/Koei's first dabble with a PC version of their games. I don't think it sold very well.
At this point it seems like if there was going to be a PC version of Ninja Gaiden it would be the Sigma version of the games. Simply cos it's what Team Ninja ported to the Vita.
Amusing how many time someone will say never to PC ports, and history shows that to be false. Please, demonstrate your reasoning
I think what they mean is that we'll get Sigma and not Black. Well with the nice PC community for these types of games maybe we can see a mod to get it to Black standards?

What was different between black and the original vanilla ninja gaiden on Xbox? I never played black
I'm down for Black.
But you should throw DOA in with this petition. 3D fighters are an open field at the moment on PC and DOA could get a foothold there.
Sigma:
-Got rid of the "EVIL DARK DRAGON BLADE... A SWORD SAID TO BE CARVED OUT OF THE BONES OF A BLACK DRAGON..." intro
-Added new (pointless in many peoples opinion) bosses
-Rachel chapters
-Dropped the mission mode into a DLC mode (or I'm thinking NG2)
-Added a new weapon: Twin Swords (forgetting the actual name) which isn't in Black.
It also gets rid of just about anything that isn't a corridor or an enemy arena. A lot of the back and fort looking for keys segments, platforming challenges and "puzzles" so to speak are gone.
This has always been my #1 complaint. They took the adventure out of the action-adventure game. Its the thing that separates it from NG2/3 hours and hours of corridors and waves of enemies, pacing completely fucked. Very little in the way of Tairon's hub world area, or even the backtracking/exploration required for The Aquaducts or the Caverns.
I honestly don't think that the franchise with Hayashi behind the wheel will get any better in the future, the dude is simply not a good director. Tecmo should give the franchise to a new guy IMO, it can't get any worse than NG3.
That being said I'd love to see NGB and NGII on PC.
Yaiba was shit and most likely didn't sell well anywhere.
I'd take anything tbh.
And i agree with you on Black... but NG2 is a pretty shitty/unfinished product.
Not that Sigma 2 is perfect or anything, but it does fix a couple of things (and break others).
I'll sign the petition when I'm done in the shower. However,the text of the petition could use a revision to sound more professional.
Sorry to be off-topic but... you browse GAF while taking your shower ?
My rule is to give a series two chances before giving up, so I'm willing to give it one more shot.
I do agree though, I don't have much faith in Hayashi, but I'm open to being proven wrong and he did make some strides in the right direction with Razor's Edge. He'll never be as good as Itakgi though, but then very few people could fill those shoes.
Always wanted these games on PC. Hopefully it would be the Sigma versions.

I'm up for that but NOT Sigma 1 and 2. I want Ninja Gaiden Black and the original Ninja Gaiden 2. Not Hayashis bastard child versions.
All this hate against Razor's Edge is just crazy. It is easily the best game in the series, there is not a single thing that I can say is worse in it than it's predecessors. It plays pretty much identically like the previous games, I did a back to back play of all the modern Ninja Gaiden games and Razor's Edge is by far my favourite, I really would not go back to the previous games for any reason.
The only aspect of Razor's Edge that is bad is the story, which is pretty average (just like every other Ninja Gaiden game honestly), everything else is top notch: graphics, music, cutscenes, gameplay, flow, everything works flawlessly. And as always, it is hard as hell (probably the hardest modern NG game).

This gets posted in almost every single NG thread here:

Not really relevant I know to the topic but it still needs to be said.

i've never played the games, but those seem like some dumb changes
why would they remove all those enemies? were they trying to make the game easier?
Is that all ? Can you please explain ? I played him like 3 days ago on hard and I don't remember anything infuriating or lazy about him.

Its by far, the worst boss I have ever fought in an action game bar none.
The fight is so far removed from any previous ninja gaiden game its not oeven a joke.
His attack pattens are random, there is no reward for skillfully dodging his attacks, he can easily chip away your life..
I just refuse to play further. Ive beat him once in Vanilla NG3 but when I got him on Razors edge I just turned my console off. I can't.
The QTEs alone make it the worst.

Its a vocal minority that like to shit on the Sigma games.Dafuq?
Why would you want the Sigma versions?
