Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 launches exclusively on the PS3 on September 29, and to celebrate, Tecmo has sent us more pictures than you could ever really need. If the motion-controlled boobs aren't going to convince you to buy the game, I doubt these images will.
I'm quite looking forward to Sigma 2, since it seems Tecmo is really giving its all on this one. If it's a success, it will be a strong statement about former Team Ninja chief Tomonobu Itagaki and whether or not he was truly essential to the franchise's quality. So far his departure has meant less blood and more breasts for the series, so it's a little bit of win/lose.
Are you planning to pick this up? Do you think it'll be better or worse than the Xbox 360 original?

Can't wait to have a boobie-shaking match against my friends online.
Besides, I don't think a remake will help us determine whether Itagaki is crucial to Team Ninja or not. I'll wait for Metroid:Other M to make my mind.
About which version will be better, given that blood and digital breasts don't really turn me on, I'll judge on content and replayability alone. And Sigma seems to have nailed it. A must-buy in my book.
Ryu with a magical ninja shot gun.
Awesome.
If so I'll pass regardless of new content.
Plus, new weapons!!
Example: "GAME X #22394 Received an 8.5 out of 10 because it lacked the ability to move the female character's breasts up and down when I wanted to. I would have given it that extra half-point, but that right there is what killed it for me."
I'd wait for Ninja Gaiden 3 to decide that. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is an expansion of a full game, where the concept, mechanics and vision are already there. Besides, key senior staff also left with Itagaki and we will have to wait until Metroid or NG3 to know what this headless Team Ninja can do.
