Darc Requiem said:If you've owned Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Black you don't really need to get Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Its the X-box original with improved graphics, 3 new chapters, and the ability to play as Rachel. Ninja Gaiden 2 is a 360 title. Itagaki was asked about Ninja Gaiden Sigma in a interview and he said that one of his team members wanted to do a Ninja Gaiden for PS3 so he allowed it. Itagaki is not handling Sigma. Now for anyone that has never played the X-box game and has their hands on a PS3, they should run out and get Sigma as soon as its released. As for those of us that have played NG/NGB, unless you are a diehard fan that has to have every version of the game.,I'd wait for Ninja Gaiden 2.
3 extra chapters is a big deal, when the original had 15 or 16. Rachel has completely new moves and animations as well. Also, the graphical enhancements are significant according to PSM (take that for what its worth. they are usually fair but of course will embellish for PS a little). I'm sure if Sigma sells well that future games will be on the PS3 as well.
I agree with your point that anyone who has not played it should get it, though. I feel the same about Elder Scrolls: Oblivion that I stayed up all night last night playing.
