![]() All of the games in the collection ran flawlessly on our PC with no technical issues at all. The Master Collection really simplifies everything by including the definitive versions of all three modern Ninja Gaiden games, including Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge.Īlthough our review is based on the PC version, this collection is available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One (and playable on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S), including support for trophies on the PlayStation 4/5, and achievements on the Xbox One and Series X|S. ![]() If you owned only a Nintendo GameCube, you would not have been able to play any Ninja Gaiden games. The problem is that unless you owned the right console at the right time, you would have only played one or even none of the versions. These later iterations would generally have more content, such as new playable characters, new enemies added in, new challenge missions, graphical improvements, and more quality of life improvements. The mild annoyance is that these games have multiple versions with varying content on differing lines of consoles which can be very confusing to new-comers.įor example, the 2004 release of Ninja Gaiden, originally on the Xbox, was later released as Ninja Gaiden Black in 2005 on the Xbox, and then released again later as Ninja Gaiden Sigma in 2007 on the PS3 (and then Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus on the PS Vita in 2012). When we refer to the first, second, and third games herein, we are referring to the new trilogy of Ninja Gaiden games, not the original trilogy of NES games. Ninja Gaiden was originally a trilogy on the NES, but was later rebooted into another trilogy of games on the sixth and seventh generation of consoles. The Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is the easiest and definitive way to get into the modern Ninja Gaiden trilogy, whether you are a long-time fan or if you are a first-time player of Ninja Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is out now on PC/Steam.Home» Game Guides» Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Review (PC) Maybe you’ll enjoy it more? Either way, it’s not worth the current asking price, but maybe check it out in a sale later in the year. I’ve denoted this as more of a ‘first impressions’ since, as you’ll see from the gameplay below, that was pretty much all I played of it. In the end, I had to let everyone kill me, then it went not-fullscreen again, and like with Lee Carvello’s Putting Challenge, I was asked “Do you want to play again?” I came back to the main menu and could quit with the menu options from there. WTF?! Remember that scene in Weird Science where the two lads are in the process of creating Kelly Le Brock, and not even unplugging the computer will switch it off? It’s like that!!! However, none of these combinations do anything.Īlso, with Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, trying the old Alt-F4 doesn’t quit out… right-clicking on the game icon in the taskbar and trying to quit does nothing… and there’s no entry for the game in Task Manager. Were Quality Control on holiday?Įven more odd, I can’t quit out! When I go to the menu, it suggests pressing the left-arrow button on my Xbox controller and either pushing down on the right thumbstick or pushing it up, or doing both at the same time… it wasn’t clear. There’s part of a PC Window bar the top of the screen… not a whole one, just part, as if I’ve got some overscan issue on my TV, even though I haven’t.Ĭlicking on the top of the screen with the mouse (even though there’s no keyboard options for controlling the game – you need a joypad) DID get the game fullscreen proper. ![]() In addition, the game is not quite fullscreen. Then again, it probably doesn’t matter because compared to some gameplay I saw of the original, nothing has changed. However, whatever this is stuck on, it’s not telling me (apparently, the options are 720p, 1080p and 4K). I generally go for 1080p, but I now have a beefier PC and have tried it with 4K and got some good results. In fact, it was rather odd that there was no option to change the graphics settings. On the downside, this remastered compilation doesn’t seem to be in the slightest bit remastered. Ninja Gaiden Master Collection brings together three games which I haven’t played before, but on the plus side, it moves along at a fair lick.
