![]() Sure, the Sigma versions come with all of the extra goods, like the hurricane packs from the first game, but it also adds in some unwanted missions with a side character (Rachel) nobody cares about and actually removes the original three NES Ninja Gaiden games from the first title which was one of the coolest in-game unlockables at the time. I’ve seen enough Redo of Healer to know how that ends up.īut even though you should have a great gaming experience, veterans of the series might take issue with the fact that the Sigma versions of the first two games are just not the same as their original versions. ![]() There… now remain calm and don’t skewer me… especially with that flaming poker. ![]() The original Ninja Gaiden is absolutely legendary, and while Ninja Gaiden 2 is missing some things that make it feel as special as the first, it is still a great game that deserves to be played, and if this is your first time ever experiencing these games for yourself, you are most certainly in for a treat and one of the best gaming experiences you’ll ever have. With the exception of Ninja Gaiden 3, the “worst version” of each game does not mean that these are bad games. Now… before you come at me with pitchforks, let me make it CRYSTAL CLEAR. The other issue stems from the fact that the versions of the games that they give you are possibly the worst versions that could exist. What you get is the absolute minimal effort a game company could provide when making a collection of games. Not even a menu to select what game you want to play. You simply get three games that were ported to work on current-gen consoles, and that’s it. You don’t even get everything put together in one software package. With Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, you get none of that. You would typically get a nice shiny menu, maybe an art gallery, a music player, perhaps a theater with game cutscenes that you might have to unlock, bonus challenges, etc. Normally, when you buy a collection, it’s all part of one software package. Granted, I was provided a review code for the collection for my Xbox Series X however, when I redeemed it, all the code did was download Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge as separate games and that’s it. Since this is a collection, I want to review what makes this a collection, the special features that come with it, and the overall extra content you get for your hard-earned money. I don’t really want to review the games themselves because these games have existed for quite some time, and there are plenty of reviews on the gameplay, graphics, mechanics, and all of that out there for you to check out. Platform: Xbox Series X|S (Reviewed), Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Steam Still, when I heard that there was a collection of the three Xbox games coming out, I had to check it out to see if my mind could go on a bit of a nostalgia trip. The second game was fun, but it was missing that punch and the third game… haha… let’s not go there. I got the hurricane packs, even made it amongst the top players during the karma challenge, and replayed that game like there was no tomorrow. After playing the first game, I was hooked. When I learned that the series was getting rebooted on Xbox as a 3D action game, I was a bit curious. The three games on the NES were some of the toughest challenges a young kid could face. Growing up, I loved the Ninja Gaiden games.
