Old NG weapons as DLC? Don't tell me they will make us pay for that...

Old NG weapons from older games as DLC? Free or GTFO.

If any weapon I really want from older NG games is definitely Kitetsu but more fleshed out to suit the newer combat system, Kitetsu is a katana afterall.

Thank you form the scans, I seen you post them on gamespot,

“Koei Tecmo needs an extra core franchise,” says Hayashi. “Quantum Theory wasn’t it, and we don’t want to repeat our mistakes, so we’re thinking carefully.”
Could it be Ni-Ho, or a new DOA/NG spin off? CC/Kunoichi Gaiden anyone Razz

“as you progress through the story and you get more swords you’ll unlock more attacks, finishing moves, and combos,”
That’s really sounding like there’s not going to be any upgrading of weapons, (I mean there’s no Muramasa) it sounds like ether you’ll build a up a collection of swords that will all have different attacks and wont upgrade, or every time you get a new sword it will replace the previous one and just add on to the move list sort of like:
Dragon Sword (lvl1), to Ranjin Maru (lvl2), to Blade of the Arch Fiend (lvl3), to ect.

Why is the guy writing this calling it QTEs? None of the TN quotes called the QTEs and there not QTEs,

Also previous weapons as DLC, how many swords or should I say kastanas have we had in the past? I doubt it includes the Dabi
And exclusive content for the 360 uh… a multiple platform game getting exclusive content for one of the platforms, never a good idea

Oh, look, it's just Ninja Gaiden 2 but now with dlc, multiplayer, and gimmicks.

I sure can't wait to play the same game again!

Seriously now, I didn't even really look at it or read anything, I just know from experience what to expect.

And what I expect is that it will be a s h i t t y rehash because Itagaki was 90% idiot and the japs responsible for everything sigma aren't any better.

I didn't even buy sigma 2.

Thanks for the scans.

Overall, I think I might like it more than Ninja Gaiden 2 but not more than Ninja Gaiden 1. In NG1, weapons were unique and in NG2 they made them more similiar. And now in NG3, there may not be a Lunar, Vigoorian Flail, Dabilahro. I loved those weapons. Kitetsu definetly sounds like it'll be a DLC and maybe Dragon's Claw and Tiger's Fang. Based of the demo, Hayate sword had the same moves as the Dragon Sword but it may change.

I don't have the normal excitement for a NG game. I think that's mainly because nothing seems new. Maybe the story will be good hehehe...

More or less… I don't try to fight the Ninja dogs with the tonfa or the scythe… but yeah, it's in NG2 that each weapon was unique, not NG1. There was basically 4 weapons in NG1: the DS, the flail, the Dabi and the Lunar (plus DCTF in Sigma). The others were decorative. I remember the plasma saber Mk.II which was a carbon copy of the TDS >__<

In Ninja Gaiden 2 the weapons only felt situational to me when I first started playing the game
and was just getting to learn them. After I mastered them I could pick and choose any weapon I wanted
and battle through MNM or any other mode in the game. I could understand some weapons
having the same techniques due to heft, functionality, "the user" (Ryu) and what not, but
not once did the weapons feel too similar to me because when I "got" the weapon, I mean really
understood how to use it I was able to beat the crap out of everything with it. (and make it look stylish)
Because of that NG2 will always be in my collection Twisted Evil

I suppose that’s where we differ, I sort of see the weapons in NG as characters in a fighting game there all different and equal one isn’t stronger than the other (or at least shouldn’t be)

I like that you pick one weapon and to the job, it shows versatility, and everybody masters their weapon one person’s really good with the Tonfa but sucks with the FTs and another person is good with the FTs but can’t use the KG

Not stronger than the others but better in different situations. Like how the flails are better against ghost fish but other weapons will still do the job.

Well, actually the Scythe WAS able to deal with everything in NG2. Not just because of the ridiculously OP ultimate technique. The Scythe also was the only weapon with double-dismemberment ability which forced instant deaths (without OTing the victim) to enemies. Of course some bosses were a bit harder to kill, but never impossible. One of the most boring weapons in NG(S)2.

FT ftw Smile

one that glitched double ninja grab FTW!! Laughing
