Well waddya know, despite being published by Microsoft with the very debatable “Only on Xbox” writing slapped in front of the case, looks like PS3 owners will still be getting their own version of the 360 exclusive title, Ninja Gaiden 2. Seen first in a leaked scan of the latest copy of Famitsu, Yosuke Hayashi (main man behind the first Sigma) will again be the one overseeing the remake (yes, it looks like it won’t be just a simple port).
Here’s what’s been confirmed in Neogaf:
– Set to release in autumn 2009
– The magazine will be reporting new elements in coming issues
– Producer and director: Yosuke Hayashi (From Sigma)
– Development: Team Ninja
New features in the PS3 version:
– New weapon – spiked hammer “Genma”
– New giant boss battles not in the 360 version
– New playable character – female ninja Ayane
Let’s hope this becomes the definitive version since Ninja Gaiden 2 was riddled with bugs and whatnot. Will be interesting though how they’ll go through with the remake since it looks like NG2 was stressing the 360 a lot (slowdowns at sub 720p resolutions.)
Waiting desperately for the game really last one was awesome and this one will be amazing cant wait to write about it atSegmentnext.
