ame Informer Online’s Japan Experience 2005 version 1.0 rolls on as we got the unique experience to visit Team Ninja’s Japanese headquarters to get a glimpse at Tecmo’s pseudo follow up to Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden Black. The game will feature the entire Ninja Gaiden game with both Hurricane packs and a truckload of new content. While I’m no Master Ninja, and couldn’t get past the original game’s normal mode, Tomonobu Itagaki added one new mode which we got a chance to play today that will allow those without l33t skills to enjoy the entire game – Ninja Dog Mode, or as I call it, Billy mode.
I’ll come right out and say it now. I sucked at Ninja Gaiden. While I only knew one person that beat the game on both the normal and hard modes of the game, it took me months to get past the first boss on Normal Mode, and I never beat the second boss. No matter how many times I played through the first two levels, I just couldn’t do it. Since then, sadly, the game sat on the shelf collecting dust. Now I’m not a crappy gamer, and play more games in one week than most people play all year, but that game kicked my ass all over the place. Not only did it shatter my pride, but it broke my heart because I wanted so damn badly to be a ninja too. While Itagaki-san told people he wouldn’t put an easy mode in the game previously, he did in a sense stick to his word.

Translation: Our games will kick your ass
When you boot up Ninja Gaiden Black for the first time, the menu has a few new options. There’s an all new mission mode that is basically an all new game, the Arcade Ninja Gaiden mode which is the original arcade version of Ninja Gaiden, a movie theater, and coming attractions. When you start a new mission, the only mission available will be normal mode. Once you beat normal mode you get hard mode, very hard, and then master ninja mode. Ninja dog mode is not listed in the menu. You basically unlock Ninja Dog mode, by well…loads of sucking.
Itagaki-san realized that there were tens of thousands of gamers out there who couldn’t even get past the first level, and he wanted gamers to enjoy his creation. But the opportunity will come at a price to the player who plays Ninja Dog mode.
Itagaki stated, “I don’t want to spoil the game that all of the hardcore gamers in North America and the world have supported. But I know there’s a lot of people who love Ninja Gaiden and say, ‘why can’t I beat the first level – why can’t I beat the second level.’ And I want to give them a helping hand. So I’ve made it a little bit easier. But since the basic concept and the fun of Ninja Gaiden lies in defeating difficult enemies, making it easier also means its making it a little less fun. I don’t want it so people that are constantly reminded or constantly ashamed that they can only play it on easy mode. So that’s why instead of simply calling it ‘easy mode’ I called in Ninja Dog mode. Any of the fun that might be slightly reduced by the fact that the enemies are easier will be replaced with new specific touches that are unique to Ninja Dog mode.” Those touches, my friends, are what make Ninja Dog mode a real treat for gamers like myself who have been literally dying to play Ninja Gaiden.

"This is the level that Billy can't beat"
ملاحظه (ماتشوفون الاكس بوكس 360 في يسار الصوره؟)
Beginning the game in Normal mode, if you die, you’ll get the option to restart. If you die a few times, you’ll then get a new option, which says, “Do you choose to abandon the way of the Ninja?” If you choose yes it asks you, “Are you sure?” To demean you even more, it asks you one more time, “Are you really sure?” It hurts to admit it, but it’s time to succumb to the powers that be. You are then shown a cutscene where you are lying dead on the ground and Ayane is above you, and calls you a Young Ninja – not master Ninja – and that she seemed to greatly over estimated you, and that she’ll support you however she can. She then throws a kunai at the ground next to your corpse and walks away from you more or less in disgust. You are instructed to save, and then you officially begin Ninja Dog mode. When the game resumes, Ayane gives you a gift, and instructs you to wear it at all times. It’s a light purple arm band, and it’ll serve as a reminder that you’re not working with Ayane like you were before, but you’re working for her. You’re her man servant, or better yet, her bitch. Lovely.
While all of this is degrading it, feels more like a slap in the face than a kick in the crotch. It’s really done tongue in cheek, and it’s quite humorous, especially to someone like me who had tried time and time again to get through the second level without success. Since I forced myself to die in the first level to open up Ninja Dog mode, it started me about halfway through the first level, and I could play as I would regularly play through the game. While the enemies were easier, it was only slightly. It feels as if Team Ninja got the balance right. Kunai’s now have complete voiceovers from Ayane, and each of them give you health items from her. Plus once you begin Ninja Dog mode you automatically get one freebee Talisman which revives you once you die. But once you use that up, you’re back to being at the game’s mercy – albeit only slightly easier.
My goal for today was to make it one step further than I had before – which would prove Team Ninja’s purpose for making Ninja Dog mode. I had to complete the second level of the game. Trust me, the game is still challenging on Ninja Dog mode, and the first boss did take out my Talisman before I passed him. The true test was to kill the second level boss. While I didn’t purchase any support items in the second level, I breezed through the area to return to the area which caused me many blisters and headaches before – the second stage boss. The boss battle consists of two fireball throwing Ninjas who disappear once in a while, and a badass ninja soldier on a horse that will spear you with his weapon and slam you to the ground, all the while as you are taking a sick amount of damage. While I only died once, I did finally pull off what I had never done before. I progressed past the second stage, and Itagaki-san said “Good job” and congratulated and clapped after I finished it. Sadly, I still realized I had work to do, and I was still a lowly Ninja Dog.

Itagaki-san explains how I'll still get my ass kicked
Ninja Dog mode is not an easy mode, but it’s more or less a solution to giving players who have trouble with the regular mode a chance to play through the game. The enemies are not easy per se, and are still quite challenging. But they’re just easy enough so I can progress. Itagaki-san didn’t want to insult the players who had the mad skills to beat the game on normal modes and higher, and personally, I respect that.
It made me feel better that I could continue further than I ever had previously, but it wasn’t completely satisfying since it wasn’t the actual normal mode of the game. The game will remind you of that because after finishing the first stage of the game I only received “Ninja Dog” ranking, and with the second level I received “lesser ninja” status. The better you do will still net you a better ranking, but you’re still not among the master ninjas until you beat it on the harder difficulty ratings. I was told that I had only seen 10% of the additional content that Ninja Gaiden Black has to offer gamers, which should make both Master Ninjas and Ninja Dogs quite happy. However, after my short play through I am really looking forward to when Ninja Gaiden Black hits stores in September. Now I can finally resume my Ninja training, even if I am only a Ninja Dog.
