Itagaki's big bloody Xbox send off! - Ninja Gaiden II

[@BKBMaster12]

You know what's one of the things I absolutely love about Matt? His burning obsession with determining whether a game uses the royalty-free pot smashing sound effect or not. I find it really charming and, after years of hearing him be on the lookout for it, I've started it doing it, too.

[@Timestrider539]

Who needs nunchuks in Ninja Gaiden when you got that VIGOORIAN FLAIL?!

[@DrFaustisDead]

I feel like the performance improvements may kill one of the most unintentionally badass moments in the game. Where late game Ryu fights like 30 guys while ascending a staircase. Which totally killed the frame rate in the best way imaginable.

[@michaelkitchin9665]

Yes. Worth a red ring of death.

"Your clan is in danger!" "Oh, you mean like every time?"

[@Alastor343]

we need a ninja gaiden legacy collection that has every version of every game. Sigma and not Sigma, regular 3 and Razor's Edge, hell even Dragon Sword but not forcing you to use bad touch screen controls. Even include Yaiba if you want

[@harrisonlichtenberg3162]

Nah, fuck Yaiba. The rest can stay.

More talking about Momiji here, if even in snippets. Like, I need to support you I need you to make a Momiji focused video so everyone can learn about how awesome she is lmao. If I pledge on Patreon, will you be able to do that?

[@Brassironguild]

Oh my God yes! My childhood, thanks so much Matt!

Cool masked ninja man who battles other monster/demon ninja while saving a busty blonde secret agent woman? Isn't this just that TRIGGER show Ninja Slayer?

Yeah no shit what did you think they were referencing?

[@raohretro9218]

Matt playing one of my favorite games, this day is gonna be alright.

[@triniborn76]

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is like Mortal Kombat for SNES vs SEGA version! No blood and decapitations missing! This version is a lot better than PS3 sigma version.

[@Phoenix_Flame_117]

Can't agree more 👍.

[@bcd32dok36]

There is blood (in a lesser amount of) and decapitations are still there. Was the game originally not like that?

[@agreedboarart3188]

Eh, the gore is definitely better than in Sigma 2, but the difficulty is so imbalanced and blatantly unfair especially on Mentor and above.

[@Packfan014]

Holy cow what a coincidence. Was watching NG2 stuff yesterday because I missed this game so much

[@afrohero9]

Beautiful game I just beat 1 and 2 last year, we don't speak of the third game tho....

[@Phoenix_Flame_117]

Every NG fan wants to forget that NG3 exists in the first place. Let's put it in the hall of shame and just forget about it.

[@Metalgearfox2000]

Razors edge is pretty good though.

[@SweeploRoblo]

"Ninja Gaiden should probably come back...just sayin' " Matt with perhaps the understatement of the century there 😊

[@PhillipP93]

They have to make it similar to how Itagaki made those games. After he left, it became noticeable in both DOA and Ninja Gaiden.

[@SweeploRoblo]

@@PhillipP93 That's fair, og 3 or even Razor's Edge certainly aren't at the same standard as this or NG Black.

[@BombzOnZombz]

Possibly the greatest Game of all time.

[@alastor461]

The backwards compatibility is something that will definitely push me to get an Xbox One.

[@DSTJ1992]

FULL PLAYTHROUGH!!!! Please....

[@RedCaesar97]

In my opinion, Ninja Gaiden 2 is great until about 3/4 through the game, then it just seems to drag on too long. There is a sequence right before a boss fight where you have to fight some opponents on a flight of stairs. If the game ended there (flight of stairs, then boss fight), I would think more highly of the game. Instead, the environments get a little more drab/weird, you have to re-fight a bunch of bosses you already fought, and the final bosses are not that interesting. But like I said, that is my opinion. Also, screw enemies that throw exploding shurikens. Screw them all!

[@JoaoLucasK]

What about the bazooka enemies? They're like "Fuck you, let's see you block missiles"

[@talk-supersix-seven6021]

Lol I actually enjoy the whole game agree to disagree but when you had gave lisbeth again and genshin like threee times it was insane. Also that giant flaming turtle screwed me up the first time but then you have to fight two at once?!?? HAHAHAH I just started laughing at how stupidly hard it gets, the gigs works rapes me and that tunnel worm literally gave me the x number of deaths achievement I could only beat it by luck. The game being so long motivated me to replay it every 6 months and I found that fun.

[@ATrueOttoman]

Matt you missed the claws :(

[@bigles025]

damn, watching this, this is a spectacle fighter i need to give a shot

[@DM-hq9gs]

i love that ninja gaiden's name is Ryu but his dad's name is Joe which I also love 😁😁 Anyone else realize how strong Joe is...cause genshin is armed to the teeth & Joe is in pajamas & genshin STILL couldn't kill him

[@Uniboros]

Where’s the gravity rush play through, Matt? Don’t be shy!

[@TheNinja-Man]

Even though Xbox one has few exclusives I still prefer those few over PS4's many exclusives. The only two I really enjoyed on the PS4 were Bloodborne and Persona 5. (Neither of which is 1st party) The rest were great but not anything too special in my opinion.

[@m.ma.l174]

When I how polish DOA 6 I play ryu And I wish they make G4

[@RobotSocialist]

You can't mention Geist and just move on!

[@illusion274]

One does not simply just "mention" geist

[@silverroddo1468]

Yes,i agree with Matt, Ninja Gaiden Yaiba needs to come back. Also, Sonia needs to make it for DOAX4?

The reason why they chose, Xbox over Nintendo is because Xbox capability to go online.

Marco Nadal you can control the camera and play if your good enough.

[@aidlord23]

Ok maybe I'm weird, but I really don't like the Ninja Gaiden PS3/Xbox 360 generation games. I always felt, having played through 1 and 2, that their difficulty is really unfair and more obnoxious than fun, especially compared to games like DMC, Bayonetta and Dark Souls. This is mainly coz of issues like the camera being a bit shit and way too many enemies having annoyingly fast grab attacks.

[@aidlord23]

@@shinbakihanma2749 Yeah that seems about what I expected.

@@shinbakihanma2749 Oh hahaha! Sorry dude! I'm just so unsure what people think about this game that I kinda was expecting a genuine response like that XD Coz I will admit, I'm not very good at the Ninja Gaiden games.

[@Scroteydada]

Why do people think that Dark Souls is fair? It's got the most busted hit boxes of any game I've played. And I've played Sonic 06.

[@aidlord23]

@@Scroteydada Because the game is hard and has some unfair elements, but generally once you know what to do you can progress with relative ease.
