Maybe the next edition of Dead or Alive Xtreme will feature smaller boobs?
This.
I mean, c'mon here!?

"Question if violence is a necessity for the game?"
OF COURSE IT IS YOU STUPID ASSHOLE! It's motherfucking ninja gaiden! Bring Itagaki back, these new Team Ninja guys are Grade A 100% PUSSIES

That's kinda silly. Like you said, blood and ridiculous gore is kinda the whole point. But in the long run, I probably won't even notice the lack of it.
A game with a shallow plot in which all you do is fight hordes of monstrous enemies with a variety of sharp weapons is not about violence.......
how does this make sense at all? they aren't making Tetris here.

Maybe they want to go for having something mature without focusing on blood and gore. Like, trying to be GTA4 or something. Which is stupid, because this game is focusing on me being a ninja and slicing through foes, I expect blood and guts everywhere.

I believe is more an attempt to get the game to be a T rated game... I know, a T rated ninja gaiden sounds like heresy, but still.

You may not be too far off since we now have the technology necessary to render small boobs.

Apparently Itagaki was holding all Team Ninja's balls, because now that he's gone everybody is becoming pussies.
Itagaki will be missed ; when I heard about Sigma 2 I got it on top of GoW3 and Brutal Legend , after seeing they changed gore I won't even buy it ...
"But with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, we really questioned whether violence is a necessity for a game, so we decided to move away from that trend."
Read that quote out of context. It's fucking insane. Hell, even in context it doesn't make much sense.
Next up from Team Ninja, it's Ninja Gaiden Kidz!

I guess I'll keep my copy of Ninja Gaiden 2 around anyway. I was planning on getting rid of NG:Black and NG2 since I'll have NGS and NGS2, but if they're actually removing aspects, I'll keep it in my collection.
I'm a bit disappointed, but if the gore was the cause of the horrible frame rate from NG2, then I'm all for removing it. I hardly enjoyed the sequel after trying to play through its constant framerate slowdown. Sheesh.
Again, pretty lame decision.

The blood is unimportant. The game is an action game with the focus on challenge. Playing it for that reason is like playing DoA because Kasumi "kicks high."
I hope they do indeed have a better version of NGII on their hands because the original was disappointing on many levels for me, but with more time it could have been a real sequel. Perhaps this is that sequel. Ninja Gaiden has to work harder now that Devil May Cry and (especially) Bayonetta have upped their games as well.

So big floppy titties are "necessity" for the game and therefore the violence has to be toned down or eliminated?
Also when did Sigma 2 become its own game? I thought it was a update of a existing game with new characters, game modes, and better balancing. It just sounds like a cheap cop out if you ask me.

@arttemis
there was no "horrible" and "constant" framerate issues in NG2-360. Gamercommunities blew that way out of proportion (which is what messageboard gamers tend to do) and jumped on the bandwagon.

I don't mind a reduction in blood. There was so much before that I ended up just kind of spacing it out. It's like if a game has ragdoll physics for bodies, but every single one cartwheels into the stratosphere on death. I imagine now when something is exceptionally bloody, I might actually be impressed instead of everything being bloody and me not caring.
I don't care that much about the amount of blood, but BLUE blood? I guess all ninjas are royalty these days huh?
I could accept blue blood in dragons & demons, but in your everyday ninja? :(

I'll be glad it's not to the extreme personally. That's one thing about Prototype that turns me off, excessive violence beyond the sake of good taste. The line is different for everyone, but that game crossed it for me. NG2 was in that same vein, so I'll happily enjoy the game just that little bit more because it's toned down to an acceptable (for me) level. Hopefully anyway, I need to see it in action.
I guess you people forget that what made Ninja Gaiden so good on the NES wasn't the (absent) blood. Just another case of "games should be games, not technical showcases".
also, are there any 3-d games out there that happened to have a 3-d camera that was able to please all gamers? please tell me, does that game exist?
I love how they justify things with bullshit. It's not like they are remaking the whole game, it's still Ninja Gaiden 2. This sounds like the crap Nintendo used to pull with games like Mortal Kombat. Yet now they try and justify it with stupidity.
Outside of difficulty, I thought the whole point of these games was to virtually drown players in extreme amounts of blood and severed limbs.
There's also the fantastic, fast paced, combat but I mean geez who cares about that. First in the "difficult subject" article you say that there's no skill involved in the NG combat, and now the gameplay isn't as important as the gore? You really hate NG huh Jim.

I'm going to miss all of the ridiculous bloodspray. Seriously, wtf is this blue shit? I wouldn't care if it were just for the fiends or something, BUT I WANT MY GODDAMN BLOOD.
THIS is what makes gamers violent.
Still buying the game, but fuck me they better find some way to add blood back in. I don't care if it sticks to walls in weird ways like it used to. Just give it back.

To be honest, I thought the blood and gore in NG2 was a bit out of place from what I was expecting after playing NG1.
I'm definitely in the "why the hell does everything explode or get lopped off in a sea of blood?" camp.
Though I don't know how they will retain the dismemberments with the update.

If a game is going to be fucking hard, I better have motherfucking gallons of blood and limbs all over the place as my reward for killing those fucking enemies!
What a crock of shit. Fuck Tecmo. Why would you take away something that is good and fun.
Dismemberment = GOOD!
Showers of blood = FUN!
I guess Tecmo doesn't like good fun by my definition. Well fuck those guys.

I sure as hell had horrible framerates constantly. Precisely, every time there were 3 of more enemies (ninja or demon) on screen at once, I'd drop down to about 75% framerate. That's unacceptable. The sections with 4-6 enemies at once would consistently bring the pace down to 50%, and seemingly lower if any of them were disintegrating post-death.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma seems to have a much more consistent framerate than Ninja Gaiden Black did, but when the PS3 remake does dip (which was rare), it seems more noticeable. Whether that's from a more significant temporary drop in performance or if it just seems that way because it's much less frequent is unclear to me, but NGS is still superior in content and performance IMO. Either way, both versions were far more playable than NG2, though.
Tecmo has stated that NGS2 will improve the performance and graphics of NG2, so I just hope the framerate is at least as solid as NGB, though I'd prefer NGS's consistency.

Ah well you see Ninja Gaiden hasn't been Difficult since it was on NES. Now it's just cheap.

Here is the thing. The game is getting a ton of more content like 3 new characters along with online co-op, a longer storyline, bouncing (Y'know), improved gameplay, better graphics, and a ton of other shit. I played the Ninja Gaiden 2 demo, and it was really good but the blood was not the best part about the game. I definitely am getting Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
