I started with Ninja Gaiden Sigma which is a curious beast. In the package you get three separate downloads, this doesn’t have its own launcher which means you don’t have to have them all downloaded at once, which is nice, though even with them all installed they don’t take up a whole lot of space by modern standards. Plenty think the originals were better, so ideally this collection would have had every version but the code for the originals is unfortunately lost. Enemy placements and AI were changed, puzzles were removed and gore levels lowered whilst visuals were changed and new features were also added. Razor’s Edge was an enhanced version of Ninja Gaiden 3, but the Sigma titles were actually changed quite a bit from the originals. The Sigma titles were the PlayStation 3 versions of those Xbox originals, whilst Razor’s Edge was initially a Wii U (remember that?) game but did come to the other consoles eventually. The games in this collection are Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. This collection contains none of those games. Ninja Gaiden 2 was on the Xbox 360 and Ninja Gaiden 3 was also on that console as well as PS3. Even that isn’t straightforward however as Ninja Gaiden was on the original Xbox, then there was Ninja Gaiden Black which was an updated version of that game. The arcade and NES featured some tough 2D action platformers, but these are the 3D titles. Things aren’t as straightforward here, which I’ll get into, and nothing major has been applied to the presentation but it’s still a bunch of fun games for a reasonable price. Now it’s the turn of the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, also three games from the previous generation packed together. I recently reviewed the Mass Effect Legendary Edition and pointed out that minus a couple of features it was a collection done right.
