Ninja Gaiden

[sub]

So I'm going to be getting Ninja Gaiden 1. I'm wondering what the difference is between black and the regular ninja gaiden. does it actually matter which version i get?

Black is better.

Tecmo announced at E3 2005 that Team Ninja was working on Ninja Gaiden Black.[72] They later showed a working version of the game at Tokyo Game Show 2005.[73] Black is a reworked compilation of Ninja Gaiden and the two Hurricane Packs.[47] The game featured new foes such as exploding bats and the doppelganger fiends who can imitate Ryu.[74] It contained more costumes than Ninja Gaiden, and swapped the unlockable NES games for the arcade version.[75]

One key feature was the two new difficulties: the easy Ninja Dog and very hard Master Ninja.[10] Itagaki added Ninja Dog after he heard complaints of Ninja Gaiden being too hard.[76] However, he thought that any player could persist through the tough parts of the game and beat it.[77] Hence, he made Black put on a mocking tone for those playing on Ninja Dog; the players receive pink ribbons as accessories and watch Ayane treat Ryu as an inferior. Itagaki also made the other difficulties in Black harder than they were in Ninja Gaiden. He changed the foes to be stronger and more aggressive and toned down moves that were too powerful such as the Flying Swallow.[10]

Another key feature of Black is Mission Mode, which comprised 50 missions of pure combat action. One mission is adapted from the game played in the Ninja Gaiden Master Tournament World Championship final. Furthermore, the last five missions linked together to compose Eternal Legend; this linked series of missions was a revamped Hurricane Pack 2 using the game engine of Black.

Black is like Ninja Gaiden 1.5, it's everything NG is and more.

Although, Black is more difficult. Black also adds a Ninja Dog mode which is considered as Easy mode, but this mode is equivalent to Normal on Ninja Gaiden. Every difficulty level in Ninja Gaiden Black is one step ahead from Ninja Gaiden. There is also a Mission mode, which contains over 40 different missions where it requires the player to complete under certain circumstances. Some bosses have been added, new videos, and new costumes.

A new copy of Black goes for 70 dollars. I found a new copy of regular Ninja Gaiden for 18 bucks. I could get a used version of black, but it'd still be at least 28 dollars

I guess they did a pretty limited run on black. i decided to buy the first one though
