We didn't think hardcore ninja types had daddy issues but this latest clip of Ninja Gaiden 2 tells us otherwise. It showcases the ultra-ninja Genshin versus the father of Ninja Gaiden star Ryu Hayabusa. In the clip Ryu's father Joe Hayabusa (seriously, his name is Joe) faces off against the ultimate bad-dude before Ryu walks in and screams out for his father's safety, and probably because he never played catch with him as a kid.
After the jump you can check out another cutscene that features the werewolf boss, Volf (seriously who names these characters?). Surprisingly Volf reminds us of Kelsey Grammar's portrayal of Beast in X-Men 3. Well-spoken werewolves FTW!

Can't wait! I hope they keep in the game the option to use japanese voiceover. The english one sounds quite good this time around, but it would be nice to have both.
Dude, Ryu's father looks like Mitsurugi!

beard and a ponytail is actually common for pilgramage/training guys like Ryu's dad.

That was the first thing that came to my mind too ....Mitsurugi....

his fathers death was SO much better in the original game.
they should have recreated that instead.

why? this is a prequel to those games.

Agreed. His dad's name was Ken and he was killed by Bloody Malth. This revamped bullshit is annoying. Frankly though, all of the NG storyline stuff since the XBox came out has been pretty weak.
Sad when an 20 year old NES gets across a better story than a cutting-edge "reimagining."

odd. the word "game" was removed twice from my reply. should be:
"all of the NG storyline stuff since the XBox game came out has been pretty weak"
and
"Sad when a 20 year old NES game gets across a better story than a cutting-edge "reimagining.""

These cutscenes they keep releasing all seem a little over-the-top and uninteresting to me now.
I'm sure I'll love the actual game, though.

because Ninja Gaiden finally has an involving story this time? yeah, i'll agree it's over the top compared to the original but not at all uninteresting.

john paul said...

I'm sold

...And yet none of these modern Ninja Gaiden are as fun or interesting as Shadowdancer was in the arcades and on the Genesis.
