Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Slashes Onto Xbox This June

Oh cool, I can play Ninja Gaiden 1, 2, and Garbage all in one.

I really cannot decide whether to get this on Switch or Xbox. I have all the 'true' Ninja Gaiden games on Xbox already and the Sigma games on PlayStation. I just wish they had included all versions of each game. NG, NG Black, NG Sigma, NG 2, NG Sigma 2, NG 3 and NG 3 RE. That would be a proper collection.

@HotGoomba NG 3 is a decent game.

@__jamiie Not really but it's ur opinion.

@HotGoomba Just as that's your opinion. I genuinely preferred it to RE.

Ports or remasters?

Wasn't the Sigma 1 & 2 titles actually downgrades compared to the original Xbox versions?

Damn.
I remember the Ninja Gaiden games from NES! They were fantastic!

These games were awesome back in the day. It definitely would have been a day one purchase if it had been remastered.

I want to get this for my Nintendo Switch, I really do. To think Xbox Series X at 60 fps will win me over all day.

I also can’t decide which version to get. Maybe I’ll play through black on the series X so I can compare it to the sigma version in the collection.

Thanks, but I'll stick with my discs of Xbox Black and 360 Gaiden 2, please.

@Tharsman I have not played them myself, but from what I understand the Sigma versions are indeed the inferior versions of the games. If I understood right, they removed the blood, most of the puzzles and a complete stage from NG2.
The Sigma versions have added more playable characters instead, but the general consensus seems to be that Black is still the best version of NG1 and original NG2 is better than Sigma 2.

Cool, I'll probably just go with the Switch version.
On another note, I'm surprised Fall Guys hasn't been announced for Xbox yet.

Edit: it's happening! Fall Guys was announced for Xbox!

How do these differ from the version of 2 that was on Game Pass last week? It's not their doing but it seems like this could have benefit from MS' Frame Rate upgrade and Auto HDR

This has ‘cup of tea and Digital Foundry session’ written all over it.

@__jamiie What are the differences in each version?

@JoakimZ Thanks for the information.

So are these remasters at 4K 60FPS? Can't find any info.
I'd like to hope so considering the original 2 games are 4K on Xbox BC...

Good thing you don't need this collection to play the entire trilogy on Xbox - and not get the Sigma versions.

I hope this collection doesn't lead to the original versions getting pulled from the Microsoft Store.

@BlueOcean The Original NG3 only had one melee weapon but there were some darker moments and different alternate world scenes. I liked both versions.

Although I do wish they had the both versions or each game in the disc.

@__jamiie Thanks. They should have included all versions.

Do we know if these have the extra content from the Vita versions, or is this just the PS3 versions ported straight up? I want the NG2 gore retained!
