No More Heroes III gave plenty for hack-and-slash fans to be excited about during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct presentation, but for those looking for something a little more serious and old-school, you’ll be delighted to hear that Ninja Gaiden Master Collection was announced for the Nintendo Switch.
The collection includes remasters of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. This marks the first time that those first two installments have been playable on a Nintendo console.
Each game stars the legendary ninja Ryu Hayabusa, as well as some familiar faces from the Dead or Alive series. Players will fight “against a great evil with battle skills that are second to none,” and “wield an arsenal of killer weapons, each offering a playstyle with a different set of lethal skills, along with ruthless ninjutsu to swiftly take down enemies.”
Ninja Gaiden Master Collection will be slashing its way onto Nintendo Switch on June 10, 2021.
