Again, Ninja Gaiden was Published by Tecmo so was black and Sigma, Tecmo prolly didnt have much of an advertising Budget, thats why people dont really know of Ninja Gaiden

but NG2 is Being published by MS and will be marketed like Halo

and so NG2 will achieve the sales it deserves as being the BEST Action Adventure Brawling type game (dont mention RE4 because I am talking about Games like NG, DMC, GoW, HS, Too Human, Onimusha, I wish these games had its own Genre...)

and no Difficulty isnt the case, because even the casual Halo Lovers beat Halo on Legendary, but it seems Team Ninja is trying to make an easier difficulty for them, even if they do, that doesnt mean the rest of the game will be easier, we always have higher difficulties..

also anyone found a NG2 Video yet that isnt the Teaser Trailer?

Your right.....being published by Microsoft will help NG2 get good marketing to help it receive the attention it deserves. I am ecstatic about all of this, because NG2 is a wet dream for me.

NG was niche because it purposely went out of its way to be niche. Right from the first level, the high difficulty smacks you in the face. Many of my friends have tried the game, and found it too difficult to progress even to the second level.

To assume that I won't play a game because of the system it's on is just plain ignorant. Don't be ignorant.

No you can't. I'd love to see you get through God of War on God Mode mashing on one button. You fanboys are funny. Dynasty Warriors is a button masher, not God of War.

I have played and finished all the Devil may cry games, both Godof war games, and Ninja Gaiden, and black.

Ninja Gaiden black> Devil may cry 3 > devil may cry 1 > God of war 2 > God of war

If you want a game that rewards the time you put into it, then it has to be either Ninja Gaiden or Devil may cry, God of war is just to shallow, and the combat system to limited, it doesn't reward the player in the same way as Ninja Gaiden or DMC.

God of war is a highly over rated series imo, has some nice bosses, visuals, but the gameplay is shallow, the puzzles are a chore, the platform sections a pain in the ass.

God mode is hardly an excuse, you can up the difficulty in any game. I played through the original game and I honestly did not know how to do any of the moves, I just kept using the same 4 hit combo over and over and it worked just fine. And watch who you call fanboy, I played and enjoyed God of War, but it was a button masher compared to games like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry.

No you can't. I'd love to see you get through God of War (on God Mode) mashing on one button. You fanboys are funny. Dynasty Warriors is a button masher, not God of War.

So your saying I can beat God of War mashing one button if it's not on God Mode? That sounds pretty button-mashey weak IMO.

Well with Halo:CE and Zelda NES, the marketing was crap. How the games got popular was by word of mouth. Granted sales increase with marketing, but people like easy games and NG2 is not going to be easy. It will be niche even with MS pushing it.

How is Ninja Gaiden not a niche game? It's aimed towards the same audience. If you're talking about enticing casuals, the 360 hasn't sold enough consoles to casuals to ensure that it won't be a niche game.

True, but that doesn't mean it can't reach more people if it's more heavily advertised, obviously Microsoft believes the IP has potential otherwise they wouldn't bother publishing it.
