Last month, it was announced that the Nintendo Switch was receiving a Ninja Gaiden launch of the trilogy. But to upset some, this package includes Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 and Sigma 2.

This is right, Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II they are not included. Announced in 2005, Ninja Gaiden Black it was a remade, more difficult version of the original game from 2004. The game was improved for Xbox One X, but was removed from the Game Pass. Ninja Gaiden II was developed exclusively for the Xbox 360.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 and Sigma 2 Modified PlayStation 3 have been reissued, so for a “Master Collection”, many fans would do it I prefer to play non-Sigma Games.

In the most recent Famitsu weekly, Team Ninja brand manager Fumihiko Yasuda explains why Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II were not included in the collection.

“I am aware there are pros and cons“Yasuda said. “For me personally, Ninja Gaiden II it was my debut, and so I have one deep feeling for that. But there is another reason for this choice. To be honest, there are only fragments of data left. I couldn’t save them. However, when it develops Sigma More and Sigma Plus 2 [for the PlayStation Vita], we have just as much of this kind of the data together as much as we could and organized them. Because we use uses, this is why we selected Sigma. ”

As Kotaku previously reported, maybe that’s why it’s up to the pirates to keep the old games.
