Itagaki Not Impressed With Devil May Cry
Team Ninja's top ninja Tomonobu Itagaki sure has opinions! Lots of them. Previously, he praised Rockstar's work on GTA IV and then crapped on his company's Ninja Gaiden Sigma. And now? Now, he offers his opinion on Devil May Cry and the franchise's creator Hideki Kamiya: More »

Itagaki Rags On Ninja Gaiden Sigma
While Tomonobu Itagaki adores Grand Theft Auto IV, he totally despises Ninja Gaiden Sigma. And Itagaki's own Team Ninja made it! From an interview with website CVG: More » -

PlayStation Store Update: Famine
The weekly update to the PlayStation Store now has an official list of fine downloadable goods that North American gamers will be enjoying, starting today. As we mentioned yesterday, video editing software EyeCreate has joined the store, giving PlayStation Eye owners the tools to create the ultimate ottoman humping video. The rest of the content is fairly meager, with only one playable title, a PSone release, Spyro the Dragon joining the ranks. It's a 341 MB download and sells for $5.99 US. But wait, there's more... stuff that's not totally unreasonable for you to be slightly interested in! More »

500,000 Ninja Gaiden Sigmas Out
Tecmo announced that Ninga Gaiden Sigma (AkA Ninja Gaiden Shiguma) has shipped 500,000 copies worldwide. Not bad for a remake of Xbox game Ninja Gaiden Black — especially considering the game has been out for a mere two months in Japan and about a month elsewhere. Thank Rachel and her big Blades of the Ouroborus. More »

EU Ninja Gaiden Sigma DLC Dated
Last week we posted about the Ninja Gaiden Sigma DLC coming to the PlayStation Store in Japan, speculating on the imminent release in the states and in Europe. Now Eidos, the publisher of Ninja Gaiden across Europe has announced the downloadable content for European PS3 systems. The shiny new "Survival Mode" content will be launched in three steps just like the Japanese release, with "Weapon Master" launching on September 6th and the remaining two installments, "Speed Master" and "Rachel Master" following an unspecified staggering release afterwards. Still no word on the US release for the DLC, but if past trends remain true I would look for it to hit around the same time. Also no info in the release regarding price, so we are still assuming it will be on par with its Japanese counterpart at around $3 per installment. More »

Ninja Gaiden Sigma Gets DLC
Does it bother anyone else that his bicep is nearly bigger than his head? On a side note, Tecmo has announced three Survival Mode expansions for Ninja Gaiden Sigma—the first of which will hit for about $3—and we're guessing the rest will go for a similar price. More »

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
It's going to be a straight up PLAYSTATION 3 weekend for me, as I'm slogging through Ninja Gaiden Sigma—I'm somewhere around chapter 13 right now and not that skilled yet—and I recently had a revelation. It turns out the Motorstorm is pretty damn fun. I had totally forgotten about the game, despite hyping it for months and picking it up day one. It just didn't get that much play in my PS3 since its release, but I've realized I'm pretty damn good at Motorstorm. More »

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
I would imagine that regular readers of Kotaku know what I've set aside for a weekend run through—Ninja Gaiden Sigma (bitches)! No, I'm not a paid shill for Tecmo, I just love the crap outta some ninja. After a doubly intense E3 deadline-meeting week, I'm going to exorcise my personal stress demons by virtual decapitating some digital demons this weekend. Desperately hoping to unlock some Rachel hairstyles, as well. More » -

Week in Games: Ninja Gaiden Sigma Edition
As we move into the pre-E3 season, the list of exciting titles starts to thin out. I can't say there's anything I'm terribly interested in this week, but some of you might find something appealing on the list. Ninja Gaiden certainly looks pretty, but being PS3-less, I'll have to pass on that one. Anything here you're looking forward to? More » -

Simple 2000: The Japanese Hardware Chart
Another week, another hardware sales chart. No movers and shakers here, but what we are starting to learn is the weekly ability of Nintendo to meet demand for its two hot hardware entries, the Nintendo DS Lite and Wii. It appears that Nintendo's fulfillment abilities have been around 120K a week for the DS Lite and 65K a week for the Wii, as the past two weeks closely match today's figures. More »

Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart
This week's chart features a staple at number one. Nintendo DS training software in the form of DS Observation Training. No surprise there. But what's far less common are both Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 games in the top then. At spots two and three, no less. Those games are Trusty Bell and Ninja Gaiden Sigma, two big releases that I don't expect to have much in the way of staying power. Still, good showing, new-generation. More »

Sony Hasn't Told Us About Home Yet
The PS3's Home looks like it has great potential. Players can conceivably win achievement-like trophies and display them (see above). Sounds fantastic, but we're still somewhat in the dark. Developers should know, right? Making PS3 games an all. Nope! Tecmo's Yosuke Hayashi just finished up PLAYSTATION 3 title Ninja Sigma, and he's clueless. He explains: More »

Ninja Gaiden Sigma Box Art
I'm a bit of a Ninja Gaiden Sigma evangelist these days, so I'm happy to report that the game's box art doesn't make me waiver in my love for all things hi-res Rya Hayabusa. This is sexy stuff. The alpha and the omega of box arts, you could say. It's so hot I expect it to show up on GayGamer within the hour. More » -

A playable demo for the game will be available on the PSN in Japan starting April 27th, two months before the game is released. The demo will consist of a specially made level not featured in the main game in order to showcase a wide array of fighting moves and weapons. More » -

This enhanced port of the Xbox hit Ninja Gaiden Black just looks plain amazing.

But I'm not just buying it for the inclusion of the anatomically impressive Rachel, I'm buying it for... okay, really just to play the game as Rachel. What? I'm so lonely. More »
