In spite of a very long history, nobody's ever really gotten tired of pretending to be a ninja. From the distant past of Capcom's sidescrolling Strider and The Ninja Warriors' widescreen robo-ninja violence through the still-missed sneakiness of PlayStation classic Tenchu to the lyrical excesses of Metal Gear Rising, no one's immune to the allure of playing as some sort of kick-flipping, bird-avoiding, mech-slicing hero...

Lately, I've been thinking about reputation. Specifically, I've been thinking about how certain videogames become caricatures of themselves. Dark Souls is perhaps the prime example. Here we have an action RPG that warns prospective players to "prepare to die" in its definitive edition, whose difficulty is so lionized by its community that "git gud" has become its timeless refrain. This forbidding facade meant it took me over half a decade to finally sit down and play Dark Souls, only to discover that it's my ideal comfort game. Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a bit like that.

Last week saw the surprise announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4, and the simultaneous release of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. The latter's subtitle had me incredibly excited, channeling as it does the definitive version of the original game and promising that, after the disappointing NG Sigma 2, it was time to chop up some baddies properly...

There aren't enough stylish action games like Ninja Gaiden in the world. Nothing draws me in as instantly as a great one: I relish struggling through punishing combat in games that give me the tools to move and battle in a way that’s typically reserved for flashy cutscenes, and demand I use them or die. Intense enemy encounters and rhythmic timing mixed with Tony Hawk-style experimentation just hits that sweet spot—and I don’t think any game mixes both of these in their most extreme forms more than Ninja Gaiden 2...

Ninja Gaiden II Black is something that wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card, but I couldn’t be happier with its arrival. As much as I enjoy games such as Nioh and Rise of the Rōnin, I have always wanted to see Koei Tecmo resurrect Ninja Gaiden back from the dead. With the announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4 later this year, Koei Tecmo took the opportunity to also (aptly) stealth drop Ninja Gaiden II Black, a complete remake of the 2008 classic, remade using Unreal Engine 5. Incorporating both the base game contents of the 2008 release and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2’s content from the following year, Ninja Gaide
