Yeah, the playdate doesn't look very interesting to me, and I thought the youtube video was kind of obnoxious. I'm guess I'm not the right audience, which is fine. Not everything has to be for me. Maybe the games will be really fun, in which case I'll be willing to check it out.
On a somewhat related note, I'm much less interested in the Intellivision Amico as well. Nothing really noteworthy or exciting has been shown from that system.

- I can play the two games on a One and 360
- I own the DLC for NG2 (the collect comes with it as well)
- NG Sigma was a great port; NG2 Sigma was not
- I have no interest in NG3 at all

No arcade game? No Sega Master System or Game Gear games? No TG16 or DOS games?! No Genesis prototype? It’s hardly a “master collection” in my opinion, and I took it off my want list.
Hmmm, interesting points. I might have been willing to bite on NG Sigma if it was sold separately at a decent price and was a good port. I agree with prfsnl_gmr though, it's a lazy collection. A collection encompassing Ninja Gaiden's entire history would have been amazing. Heck, they could have thrown in Ninja Gaiden Shadow from the Gameboy game too. Missed opportunity
I just really, really, miss destroying fools with izuna drops, flying swallows, and UTs with the Lunar Staff. Those games could be infuriating with cheap and frustrating design, but with the right strategies and exploits, it was fun to slaughter people and see the decapitated bodies and blood every where. Good times. I've said in other threads that I'm not much of an Xbox guy, but there were some games I dug from the Xbox brand and the Ninja Gaiden games are high on that list.
