In this ninja filled episode of the SELECT/START podcast we check out the latest DLC from Street Fighter 6 featuring Mai Shiranui along with the rumors of the Halo series coming to the PS5. Then, in our FINAL STAGE I check out the Unreal Engine 5 remastered Ninja Gaiden 2 Black to discuss what I want to see (and don't want to see) in the upcoming 4th installment coming later this year. 

Ninja Gaiden Black set the standard for high-speed, brutally challenging action games, but Ninja Gaiden 2 Black aimed to take things even further with more weapons, bigger enemies, and an overhauled combat system. But does this sequel refine the formula, or does it stumble under the weight of its own ambitions?In this episode, we break down how Ninja Gaiden 2 Black compares to its legendary predecessor. The combat is faster and bloodier than ever, with a limb dismemberment system that changes how fights play out, forcing you to adjust tactics on the fly. The visuals have seen a clear upgrade, with improved animations and larger environments, but at what cost? The game pushes its engine to the limit, and with that comes some performance struggles and occasional janky camera angles that make certain fights more frustrating than they should be.We also discuss the changes in level design, enemy variety, and difficulty balancing—does Ninja Gaiden 2 Black feel fair, or does it veer into cheap territory? And of course, the biggest question: is this still a must-play today, or does the original Ninja Gaiden Black still reign supreme?Join us as we slash through the highs and lows of this action-packed sequel and decide—should you pass, or is this still worth a run?

Hey Podtimists, This week we discover a new day. Also David plays more Metaphor and Chase becomes Ryu Hayabusa. We also took a deeper look at the wild PS2 game, Seven Samurai 20XX.

Mollate la katana di Ninja Gaiden Black 2 che c'è Mustacchi! Questa sera facciamo il punto delle notizie della settimana, parlando anche dell'Xbox Developer Direct (a proposito: 1 minutino per dirci cosa ne pensate in un commento?), e poi dei giochi che stiamo giocando. Una puntata chillona, dopo la cavalcata dei Baffi d'oro, come ai bei vecchi tempi PAROLA DI BAFFO Darkest Dungeon II [Steam] - https://tinyurl.com/2dtm5439 Bloodstained [Steam] - https://tinyurl.com/3tm232kz Deus Ex [Prime Gaming] - https://tinyurl.com/y3k6ae3r Ori and the will of the Wisps [Steam] - https://tinyurl.com/ju4t8333 RECENSIONE DYNASTY WARRIORS ORIGINS https://tinyurl.com/yw5pehez UNISCITI ALLA COMMUNITY ❤️ https://t.me/MustacchiChat TUTTI I NOSTRI LINK

Una puntata tutta dedicata ai Ninja: prima quelli di Ubisoft, per come si presentano nel nuovo capitolo di Assassin's Credd: Shadows. Ovvero con le lame molto spuntate e scarsa propensione all'innovazione. Ci spostiamo poi a parlare di Ninja Gaiden Black 2, raccontando le sensazioni goduriose di un canone action che torna a sorpresa sul mercato, a quasi vent'anni dalla pubblicazione originale.

In today's Daily Fix:A technical director for Capcom has created a program that uses generative AI to create "ideas." No, it's not exactly what you think; in this case, Capcom wants to use Ai to help create objects for game works, such as televisions, chairs, etc. Thousands of objects potentially need to be created for any given game, and each one would need to go through its own approval process, and Capcom wants to streamline that instead of having someone make each by hand. Game design, character design, story, and other elements would still be left in the hands of a real human. In other news, the January Xbox Developer Direct revealed a brand new Ninja Gaiden and a remaster of an old one. Ninja Gaiden 4 is due sometime this year, while the remake Ninja Gaiden Black 2 is available right now. And finally, Final Fantasy 7 Remake part 3 finally has a story, and Square Enix confirmed the game will NOT be PlayStation-exclusive...eventually.

Thanks to Dan for killing the show with his horrible recommendation last year, we are once again cocked, locked, and back on the retro horse so Zack can finally gush over Ninja Gaiden Black.

Cast your mind back to 2005. Remember when games were truly difficult and all you had to get through was a physical guide and playground talk? Well, that is what 'Ninja Gaiden Black' made us think of when playing it. But does it deserve a place on this prestigious list?

All of the Day is back again! This week, Cheston gets to experience fatherhood for a second time by welcoming in his second child! Despite this, he had time to get himself wrist deep into Paper Mario. Derek played the classic Ninja Gaiden Black and Setzer is still beating the Red Dead Redemption 2 drum...which he might be doing for a while yet. In the news, NF...just kidding, no NFT news this week! Yay! But we do talk about microtransactions in Halo again and Microsoft wishing for a way to universally ban problematic people. It should be noted that this episode was recorded BEFORE the Microsoft/Activision mega acquisition so that is not mentioned at all. The topic of Roblox and monetizing children is also broached. Just what everyone wanted, adult men talking about Roblox! For this week's little game, we have fun with IGN's Top 100 games list. Could we do better? Not likely. But hey, we try to futz around with it a little bit anyway.  Opening theme: The Tower of Dawn from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Closing theme: The Flutter from Mega Man Legends News intro theme: Dr. Light's Laboratory from Mega Man 8 Game intro theme: Grunty's Furnace Fun from Banjo-Kazooie Email: allofthedaypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allofthedaypod

The gaming community is buzzing about a hot rumor that Microsoft is in talks with legendary game developer Hideo Kojima to develop his next game for Xbox. We humor the rumor and discuss what it would mean for Xbox, as well as what kind of game we'd like to see Kojima make for Microsoft. Plus: how you can have a chance to play Forza Motosport this year, the tragedy of Ninja Gaiden Black's lost source code, and more!

Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, & PC gaming. For years now, backwards compatibility has been a feature staple within Microsoft’s line of gaming hardware, and with the newest console generation underway, it seems that isn’t slowing down, including the addition of backwards compatible titles heading to the xCloud streaming service. But while it’s a nice feature for fans of the ecosystem to have, one thing Microsoft may be doing is helping the industry with an issue that many have worries in: game preservation. This week, we explore Microsoft’s newest additions to the xCloud service, and why the preservation of original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles is something that Microsoft seems to be getting ahead of to avoid potentially putting their IP at historical risk down the road. Also, the original source code for Ninja Gaiden Black may be lost forever, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare gets a surprising new update, a new line of headphones for your Series X costs as much as the system, and much more, coming up on the newest episode of the Game Pass Gamecast!

(Das ist dieser Videogems-Typ (füg' hier 'nen Link ein, Michael)) Diese wunderbarste aller Konsolen (na ja, wenn man sonst nichts hatte, aber so sind SEGA-Kinder eben (aber sie ist schon ganz cool)), auf der es so tolle Spiele wie Super Mario Bros 2, Demon's Souls und Ninja Gaiden Black gab!

In one of the weirdest shows to date, the guys discuss the return of Inside Xbox with its extensive coverage of Sea of Thieves, along with the latest Nintendo Direct including big announcements of Super Smash Bros coming to the Switch this year and much more!  Listener feedback is also read, along with some Not Fake Game News that includes Black Ops 4 being announced and Fortnite going to mobile.  Game Shaming brings more Ninja Gaiden Black talk from Adam, Titanfall 2 from Asad, Warframe from Dennis and a whole slew of games from James, including Breath of the Wild and Forza fun!  Also, Asad has a little too much fun with some lotion while recording.  It's a doozy!​

What lies ahead for the podcast? Within are the answers. Then, we turn to the games of yesteryear, for a deep conversation about one of the most highly regarded RPGs of all time, GameFAQs and Starman.net’s own … EarthBound.A big thank you to friend of the show Tracie Mauk for providing the voice of the photographer in this episode.You can get our podcast on iTunes, on Stitcher, or you can download it directly by clicking here.This Month’s Game Club: EarthBoundNext Month’s Game Club: ExpandThings discussed: 2015 Spreadsheet, The Metal Gear Articles, Metals Gear, Zelda, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy VII, Ninja Gaiden Black, Yakuza 3, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, The Crew, Alphabear, Neko Atsume, Binding of Issac: Rebirth, Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate, Bloodborne, Etrian Odyssey, The Walking Dead: Season 2, Crusader Kings 2, EarthBound, the EarthBound guideMusic This EpisodeBlown Away by Kevin MacLeodPhotographer’s Theme by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu TanakaYour Name Please by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu TanakaThe Sky Runner by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu TanakaRunaway Five Left the Building by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu TanakaOnett Theme by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka
