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."

    Discount price will be most likely 30 or so(the other platimum series type prices) , which is still a fair bit of money for a game which you may have already bought for 60 or so.

    My point was more that the practice is rahter un-toward . you still in essence have to pay for much of the same thing , even if you are fan its highly annoying.
    Sure you can get stuff over a live service (if you pay for that) which is fair enough .

    I admit i am no fan of rehases and whilst its good they are charging a cut back rate it still annoys me that this goes on to this day .
    I suppose its fair enough though as people do buy these things .
    I just think their energys could be better served making a new game , or even the next ninja gaiden game ( i did enjoy the origional ninja gaiden games way back when).
