best way to play the Ninja Gaidens?

[WAZAAAAA]

So what's the superior way to enjoy NG 1 2 3 anyway?

are the Sigma versions better or worse than the originals?
if Sigma is better, what platform has the best port?
if it's PC, does it need modding?
does it need emulation? if so which emu is best for each?
I heard there's censorship and other modifications going on, any fix for those?

etc... I'm a bit clueless here ┐( ˘_˘)┌

NG2 best combat and action. Not as polished as NGB
NGB if you want Ocarina of Time-Lite
Sigma games suck balls. Less difficult and other dumb changes.
NG3RE is Sotherius propaganda

NG2 on Series X is best, locked 60FPS.
NGB on original Xbox, although I didn't have problems playing it on X360.

I haven't tried emulating these.

I'm told NGB and NG2 originals are better than sigma. If you're using an Xbox One or Xbox Series for NG2 then NGB isn't a bad option on the same platform due to the boost in emulated resolution. Playing NGB on original hardware doesn't have any issues though like NG2 does on its original hardware.

Mods exist for the Sigma variants on the PC to make S1 closer to Black, and make S2 more difficult and remove a lot of the sigma changes.

If playing NG3, just make sure it's Razor's Edge version. It's the same on all platforms minus the "Master Collection" version not allowing for any real online multiplayer functionality.

The xbox series (i have an s but from what i know series x is only better) is the best options. My series s has ngb, ngs1, ng2 and ngs2. I will still forever play ngb and ng2 over the master collection sigma versions.

also special props to the xbox series consoles. I have doa 1-6 and ng 1-3 all in one place.
