Ok, so I never owned an Xbox so I don't know much about their exclusives. When I get my Xbox 360 (hopefully in a week or so) I wanted to try some of the (original) Xbox games. One of these is Ninja Gaiden, but I only want to have to pay enough to understand the story of Ninja Gaiden II. I looked at thetwo NG Xboxgames and that's when I got confused.

There was Ninja Gaiden and then there was NG Black. It (Gamespot) said that Black was a sequel to Ninja Gaiden, but then why isn't the newest one (coming for the 360 in 2008) called Ninja Gaiden III instead of II?

Anyways, can someone just explain this to me?

OK, thanks. So I could just get Ninja Gaiden Black and then be completely caught up by the time Ninja Gaiden II comes around? But why does Gamespot's summary say that it is a sequel?

Black just made the game harder and made ou fight normal people during boss fights, had a few new levels, etc. I'd get it over the original for the challenge.
