This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 16th birthday of Ninja Gaiden II. While the 2004 revival of Ninja Gaiden was lauded for being exceedingly hard, I remember this follow up was more largely known for being excessively gory. Death by dismemberment was all the rage, thanks to Obliteration Techniques that would put limb-reduced enemies into an even greater world of pain. Pretty standard stuff nowadays, though.

Though info’s still tight, it marks Game Freak’s first fully urban open-world concept, rumoured to draw inspiration from Paris’ arrondissements.
