Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z
- Thread starter Russian-chiropractic19
- Start date
"Inafune likens the relationship between arch rival ninjas Yaiba and Ryu Hayabusa, who players will face in the Ninja Gaiden spin-off, is influenced by the rivalry of Dragonball's Goku and Vegeta, two immensely powerful fighters.
Goku is the ultimate fighter, but Vegeta always thinks he can beat him," Inafune said, "but always loses." Who's who, in this case, we don't yet know."
^Cute joke

Well, it should be remembered that he was actually wrong, and that his "cursed" dragon-blood is responsible for much of his power.

Oh really? I had no memory of that detail. I admit, I never understand much of what was going on in the story despite countless play-throughs.
Remember when he gets all blue and smurfy-lookin' after defeating Doku's second, ghostly form? He was being turned into a fiend, which is only possible if you have cursed blood (he retains his free will and cognition because of the power of the True Dragon Sword protecting him).
i think all that does is increase his actual physical strength stuff like skill,speed,magic come from him.

Here's a bunch of bad, but somewhat theoretical news:
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/27/yaiba-ninja-gaiden-z-is-not-a-ninja-gaiden-game
The journalist refers to what he saw of the game as more of a beat-em-up brawler. "This is less Ninja Gaiden, more Dynasty Warriors, now with more quick-time event executions than ever."
Doesn't sound good.

This is thought to be a spin-off of the series, not just because you play in the NG world with a chracter that is not Ryu, but overall for the mechanics of the gameplay.
I expected to see big differences from the NG trilogy, and I'm really curious to see the final outcome.

Same,I'm actually more interested in the NG's universe expansion than the gameplay to be honest,just as long as the Ryu's fight is good because that's honestly all I'm expectiñg.i do hope it gets harder though,a game can still be diffucult withou being like NG and I think it would help justify its name even if it is just a spinoff .
This game sounds promising so far. Let's hope it will be.

Man there seems to be absolutely no hype for this game (just check out how lively the gamefaqs board is)... Not sure if it's due to an American studio developing it or the damage caused by NG3. I wonder if its failure will have any impact on NG4, like maybe Tecmo putting it off a few years.

Not to be bashing on the game at this point in the development process, but it seems to be riddled with QTE's and has almost nothing to do with Ninja Gaiden. I wish they didn't put the Ninja Gaiden name in the title because I have a feeling it won't be able to live up to it. And Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate stole whatever thunder Yaiba pretended to have.
At this point there isn't much to get hyped about ,we know next to nothing about the game so even I can't tell whether I WANT to play it or not.
