E3 09: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 still exists, says this trailer photo

Now I know Ninja Gaiden 2 wasn't exactly met with the warmest reception ever, but the game had dogs with swords in their mouths. What more do you people want!? Sure, the camera was a bit on the annoying side, the last boss was a total dickface, and there was an apparent lack of polish.

But even with those faults, it was worth the money (disclaimer: I bought it for $10). Now that the once-exclusive game is being released on the PlayStation 3 as Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, I'm jealous I don't have the technology to erase my memory of playing the inferior version so I can play Sigma 2 on PS3 without getting bored.

As shown to us in the game's E3 trailer, Team Ninja's idea to add new enemies, weapons, and characters hasn't been forgotten. It's hard to tell if the in-game camera has been addressed without having a controller in my hand, but you can bet we are hoping for the absolute best.

This is also making me regret that I traded in my copy of Ninja Gaiden Sigma!

I just played Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 at e3, just an hour ago. I love slicing and dicing attacks.

Online ninja action.

Why would anyone need anything else?

Any excuse to see a scantily-clad Rachel again. Oh, and slashing more stuff as Ryu, that's cool as well.

I'm still kinda excited about NGS2, despite its flaws. Either way, this means I have to finish NGS, which I haven't touched since two years ago.

FUCK.

It's sad they're dumbing down the gore and blood for the PS3.

Is there any confirmation that the gore is being toned down in the final release?

The significant reduction in blood could very well be just an option players can set themselves, or a tactic by Team Ninja specifically used for trailers since the ESRB pulled their original TF2 videos.

It would be very disappointing if it's the over-the-top, visceral gore was stripped from the retail version...

The blood and gore are only going to get in the way of the giant tits.

This looks WAAAYY more
polished than the 360 version. If they severely
toned down the incendiary Shuriken ninjas and tweaked the framerate, I'll probably get this.

Plus, extra characters FTW!!

I'm a bit bummed out that (it seems) they've cut out the majority of the blood. It's not a requisite, but it seems wrong not to have a bunch of blood and gore since the 360 version did.
Regardless, I'm really looking forward to this.

Boo! Hisssssss! I'll pass. If they had the original level of violence, I'd get it. Since there isn't, it can wait until I can pick it up for $20.

After the ribbing that NG2 took on the 360....I am curious to see the reaction of the gaming community (reviewers and fans both) to NGS2. I fully expect hipocracy and I see former detractors raving this Sony exclusive game in spite of the lack of any substantial changes (other than co-op) to the gameplay of NG2. I am already stocking up on my popcorn.....let the games begin!
