There were a few original Xbox titles that withstood the demise of the console and few that I could continue to play to this day. Ninja Gaiden was one of those titles so when the countdown ended on the ‘Brutally Fun’ website, I was very excited to see it reveal Ninja Gaiden 2 and even more excited to hear it was exclusive to the Xbox 360.
Ninja Gaiden is the long-awaited sequel to the platinum-selling Xbox original, where players once again assume the role of Ryu Hayabusa as they guide the ninja hero on a quest to avenge his clan and prevent the destruction of the human race. Team Ninja’s announcement that Ninja Gaiden 2 will be exclusive to Xbox 360 and available worldwide in 2008 provided gamers everywhere with plenty of reason for excitement, and served as yet another example of the blockbuster games being created by Japanese developers exclusively for the platform.
