Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus will contain additional gameplay elements over the PlayStation 3 original – but not just the usual Vita touchscreen bells and whistles.
Speaking to the PS Blog, Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi said the first Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus showed the Vita is a good home for the action series.
“With the sequel we’re looking to add in some really good additional hardcore elements – things that people who really know the game and loved Sigma 2 will get into and enjoy,” he said, mysteriously.
Hayashi seemed enthusiastic but cautious about Ninja Gaiden’s transition to the portable console.
“I don’t know if it’s a perfect fit, but it has the power and everything you need to play these kinds of games,” he said.
“You’re not always in an environment where you can play a full console game, but if you have a Vita you can have the same experience right there in the palm of your hand. It has the power to deliver an equivalent experience.”
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is a Vita remake of the PlayStation 3 original, which was itself a remake of the Xbox 360 version. It was announced during the Tokyo Game Show and is expected on Vita in early 2013.
1up.com:If you'd asked me a year ago which Final Fantasy game I expected to be playing during the Fall 2012 review season, my answer would not have been, "Final Fantasy III for PSP." And yet here we are. Versus XIII still exists only in potentia; Final Fantasy X HD is still in the works, according to a member of the localization I spoke to during TGS, but may be slow in coming for reasons; and no less than four people I talked to at TGS (both inside and outside of Square Enix) made it very clear that the English version of Type-0 is moribund, at least in its current form (again, for reasons). So, congratulations, Final Fantasy III: You won the lottery. Much to my surprise.
