Honestly, they should just not dub these games like DOA 1-4, WO3. Ninja speaking in Japanese just sounds more authentic. Or they could go the Tekken route and just dub for American/European chars.

if i want an authentic ninja game ill play Tenchu,im getting annoyed with people saying this not everyone prefers the sub you know

Never said everyone prefers the sub. People stated in earlier posts that the lack of Japanese audio in the Vita ports was a big issue for them. I merely suggested an alternative to work around the Vita's space requirements in response to the aforementioned posts. Don't get annoyed at things you took out of context.

If my opinionated response to someone's comment on a particular is such an annoyance to you, then I apologize for "bullshitting" you. I wasn't under the impression that we weren't allowed to communicate opinions on forums anymore. Don't know how my opinion on a portable game's dub affected you so negatively, but understand that you accused me for saying "everyone prefers the sub," to which I apparently responded with "bullshit."

No co op? Yeah I may pass this up. Maybe I will get it in the future when I get around to expanding my vita collection. What new features are added to the vita version of ngs2?

Ninja Race mode. Tag Missions replaced online coop. There are a lot of new costumes. That's pretty much it, but it's worth the purchase in my opinion.

Do not buy this unless you like playing the game at 10-15 fps. Entire game felt like online lag. How this turd made it through any certification process I'll never understand.

What is ninja race mode and tag mission? Maybe this will get me to buy it now.

From what I've played of it, Ninja Race is just speeding through levels within a time limit, killing off enemies for more time or speed bonuses. It's pretty entertaining since it changes the pace. Tag is just Coop Missions where you can switch between the two characters freely.

Lol ok that kinda makes me want to get it right now. But is the frame rates in the game that bad?

Hmm. I should give Gamestop a call.


Very strange. My playthroughs seemed to fine with occasional dips. I played Mentor as well.

Anytime an enemy came into play, big dip. Then 2-4 felt like online lag, 4+ felt like a slideshow. Tag mode was 100% terrible all the way through. I would not buy it, terrible.

DR2K seems to be having a shitty time with it. I played through Ch1, Tag Missions, and the first Ninja Race stage with bare minimal frame rate issues. Guess you could wait for others to chime in.

EDIT: Just played another Tag Mission. Frame rate dips in this mode the most. I didn't find it an annoyance, though. There is an option to turn off the gore. This has a noticeable effect on the frame rate. The fps dips are disappointing.

Still on the fence on getting NGS2+. Tried looking for some gameplay vids and stumbled onto this:

Basically, it's someone showcasing tag mode. It does seem slower than it's home console counterparts, but I didn't see any significant lag spikes in framerate. It doesn't look that bad from here imo, but hopefully more gameplay footage will pop up soon so I could make better comparisons.

It's hard to describe. Tag Mode is where it's noticeably bad, but most of the time, the game tries to maintain fps by blurring out of HD. Like I said, hard to describe. I like the game, but others have said otherwise. I'm just glad I have NG2 in some form on the go. That and Ayane on my Vita :)

Hopefully DOA 5+ will be better frame rate wise.

Yikes, seems the Vita's power was severely exaggerated. I remember reading that even the MGS2 port had to run at 30fps during some parts, and that's despite the fact they cropped the screen to show less scenery than the PS2 version.
