Ninja Gaiden 2 Blackis a very strange release.
There are quite a few versions of each Ninja Gaiden game.
Here’s all of them, and which is best to start with.
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is very much Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Black with little returningfrom the 2008 classic.
This results in plenty of changes, both within the core campaign and in separate game modes.
While most are negative, some are pretty good and an improvement over the original.
You get three new chapters, each with a different playable female character.
This is why the boss fight changes in Black are an improvement, for the most part.
The double Nuclear Armadillo fight has been swapped out with Marbus, which is a much more fun encounter.
Both fights are lackluster there, but the bosses are an overall improvement.
Projectile weapon UTs have been removed, too, which makes the default bow feel like a peashooter.
The Windmill Shuriken was also great for racking up Karma, especially in Survival.
What makes this mode great is its pick-up and play nature.
It’s absolutely ridiculous that new game plus has never returned since the Xbox 360 original.

In classic NG2, these simply gave you a Karma bonus.
It was a lackluster reward, considering that even many expert players don’t play for Karma.
It’s like she’s helping Ryu on this grand journey beyond the grave.
