2006-09-07 05:38:42 Ninja Gaiden 2 pretty much confirmed for 360.

From the sounds of what he said it sounds like ninja gaiden 2 timed exclusive for 360.

I think the Sony delays and Xbox 360 lead guarantee that much, even if they had wanted to switch.

this brought a tear to my eye.

Team Ninja kicks ass! can't wait to see how NG 2 is going to look!

GOD will buy Blue Dragon, will you?

Gotta respect itagaki cause he respects the fans ;)

He's well aware how much money he could've made on the ps2, but to continue supporting the xbox the way he does is awesome. Microsoft must love team ninja.

I love TN, I never doubted NG2 being on 360 though. If anything got ported to another system, I'd guess DOA fighting games. :)

2006-09-07 10:01:33

I doubt timed exclusive, this game will be close to the metal and he has 2 other games to finish for 360 afterwards, he won't have the time to port it to anything else

2006-09-07 10:13:08

How come Itagaki have done DOA3, DOA Ultimate, DOAX Beach Volley (whatever its called), DOA4 and Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox/360 only. I know that NG2 is coming for 360, but I would kind of pissed if it gets ported to PS3, if now he really is thinking about the fans. In the Sony section there are no Ninja Gaiden fans like the Xbox fans. I hope it stays exclusive, so we get the awesome NG games on the Microsofts side.
Besides, NG2 is not going to be made like until 2008 or something, but it would be so awesome for a CGI teaser at TGS, but thats just a long shot.

Itagaki confirmed that DOAX2 would be made next after DOA4 and that the following game would be NG2, he said this a month before DOA4 came out.

2006-09-07 10:45:04

Yep and the majority of the team is working on Ninja Gaiden 2 as we speak. They don't require most of the team to work on DOAX2.

Also Kojima is going to announce a new title at TGS I really hope its an Xbox 360 title.

i kind of lost hope for Kojima making a 360 game. he's so talented its not even funny. but i think sony has him underwraps. ps fans have DMC and God of War. all we have is Ninja Gaiden and i'm happy with that. although i wouldn't mind having DMC on our side.

Would you guys trade one for the other? or have them both multi-platform?

if it were up to you guys, would you give up exclusivity for DMC 4?

seriously, why are you people so dead set against getting exclusives? Why cant a system have exclusives? This is the reason the xbox game the nickname portbox and its also the reason the xbox never sold over 30 million, pretty much every game you could get on the 360 you could get on pc, or ps2.

Games sure are fun.

The reason things got ported to the PS2 and not vice versa is because of the installed base, nothing else. You guys have to understand that releasing something on Sony's platform GUARANTEES sales, whereas things can totally tank on Xbox, especially in japan.

PS2 was more popular, simple as that.

The reason we're "dead set" against exclusives - at least if I speak for myself - is that logic just speaks against them. Unless MS secures titles for the Xbox, there is no logical reason for a developer to put a game ONLY on MS platform, simply because it still doesn't touch the PS2. Risk/chances are the same will be true with the PS3.

And no, there's no such thing as "Itagaki liking Xbox fans", he has NO say if there's a collective decision to put these games elsewhere. I'm certain MS has some kind of relationship with Team Ninja at this point, because I doubt these games would stay exclusive otherwise.

Also, if NG2 was ported to the PS3, Itagaki himself wouldn't have to oversee the proceedings at all. Just as little as MGS2: Substance needed Kojima.

All that said, I still don't expect NG2 to end up on the PS3, just as little as I expect MGS4 to end up on the 360. Both developers seem to put on a show about not being bound by anything except personal preferance for a platform, but I think believing that is a bit naive.

AETOA is currently under reconstruction, so it'll look a bit funky for a while.

The xbox 360's current install base could net it some very important titles.

I expect a final fantasy 13 announcement for the 360 at tgs or X06. (yes I'm serious)

So long as 'I' get NG2! I don't care who else has it.

Take one 360, add some chopped PS3, stir in some Wii, a sprinkling of DS Lite. Enjoy :)
