I saw a video on the xbox.com and the camera seemed perfect. No matter where Ryu moved the camera panned either in and out showing Ryu, the enemies and the environment no matter what.

The last video I watched enemies usually weren't on-screen and it was to tell where Ryu was supposed to be running towards. But that was an older video so hopefully it's been fixed.
I'm not clear on this, but I seem to remember hearing that the SNES port of Ninja Gaiden wasn't very good... or at least not as loved as the originals.Quote:
Last week, you may remember that a Tecmo spokesperson made an announcement on the official Tecmo message boards regarding which versions of Ninja Gaiden would be included with the upcoming Xbox game. It was originally stated that Xbox gamers would be treated to the first 3 games in the classic NES series, but that the original arcade game would not be included.
While it's true that the arcade game is not one of the bonuses, the 3 Ninja Gaiden titles are actually based on the SNES versions and not the NES games. Here's the updated post on Tecmo's boards:
Actually it is the SNES versions of Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. They enhanced the Trilogy version for the SNES so Itagaki-san wants to honor thier work from the last game.
So it is not the NES versions as I previously mentioned.
The SNES port was the exact same thing as the NES versions, only with updated music and slightly better looking sprites.
I don't know about anyone else, but I have long been enshrouded in the hype associated with Ninja Gaiden, and naturally, very upset with the constant delays associated with this game's release.
If anything, I've certainly found a pacifier in Nightshade (Kunoichi). This game is well-worth picking up if you really need to 'get your ninja on,' and can't wait for Ninja Gaiden. Nightshade is 40 bucks by the way and if you played and enjoyed the level of difficulty and the silky smooth responsiveness of Shinobi, you'll definitely get into this quickly. The game seems to be somewhat more forgiving than it's predecessor, but the controls are much faster and the game moves at an insanely fast pace.
The same play style as Shinobi is present, but there have been quite a few additions made to every aspect of the combat system and there have been quite a few new aerial mobility techniques incorporated into the game.
According to a buddy of mine who has already completed it, it also gets as ungodly hard as Shinobi did. Anyway, I have to recommend it to anyone who just needs something to quench their thirst, but I can't really say that it's much more than a distraction for the main course. Can't recommend this game for anyone but the truly diehard, old-school gamer that can swing with the skill-based, timing-associated gameplay that was so regularly incorporated in platforming action games of the past. It's all here folks, in one neat little package. I'm pretty sure that any dedicated player can beat this game long before the 24th... anyway, good luck guys.
Cheers waiting for Ninja Gaiden.
I wanted to be excited for NIghtshade but when I put it in my demo kiosk at work yesterday, and watched it for a few minutes, I lost a lot of my enthusiasm.
Compared to Ninja Gaiden, Nightshade looks like a PSOne game.
And hell, I know graphics aren't everything (and I think the part where she kicks missles back at a Harrier Jet is oretty fucking awesome) but I just can't stomache how ugly it is, this close to Ninja Gaiden.
I will check out Nightshade when I get the chance, I just hope that the camera is a bit better than it was in Shinobi.
I'm dl'ng the NG demo, I'll give impressions soon.
Compared to Nightshade, Ninja Gaiden plays like a Team Ninja game.Quote:
