Ninja Gaiden Black Preview
The ever-vigilent 1up.com has a heads up on the upcoming Xbox title Ninja Gaiden Black. A revamp of the the highly acclaimed restoration of the old skool series, Ninja Gaiden Black rehashes the 2004 release with new difficulty settings (both easier and much harder), mission modes, new bosses, new cutscenes, and more content all around. From the article: "A promise to provide the thrills of the Hurricane Packs to those without Xbox LIVE. The people who played the Hurricane Packs account for just 10 percent of the total of people who bought Ninja Gaiden. I wanted to provide follow-up support for the remaining 90 percent if I could. I've said from the beginning that I don't consider the Hurricane Packs to just be a service for the fans, but rather an investment towards the next level of progress. Now that has become a reality and Ninja Gaiden Black is the result of this."
What we have is a full price patch with a few extras .
,This ticks off fans .

I got rather irritated when they did the same thing with metal gear Solid 2.
It got re-released with a bunch of extra cool gameplay modes that really did make the game alot more solid , unfortnatly i had already paid for the first release so i missed out on some great new additions , though eventaly a freind bought it so i got to borrow the game later.
The same thing hapens all the time with CDs a few months later from the initial release the Record company will rerelease it with some extra tracks on it and the only way to get those tracks would be to pay full price again for the CD you already bought
So the people who got it early or recently purchased the game will feel rather annoyed that they just paid 40-50 or 60 for the game and find out now that an improved version of the same game is going to be released soon.
I wonder if they would consider a free upgrade program or for a nominal charge for people who already bought it... I very much doubt it
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
Second..Unless this game is $15 or less, I will not buy it. I have the original, and it is incredible. People do not buy 'Game of Year editions' in the PC land if they have the original...at least I don't. Can you imagine some 13 year old asking his mom to buy the same game again?!?! My mom would have slaped me!
Third..I have not beaten the first..are those pics from the the first game? You have to fight three of those huge dudes at once?!?!
