They invented that stupid excuse of "We lost the source code of those games", so with that they pretty much confirmed that those games will never be on any platform that is not Xbox

Xbox Game pass have no Ninja Gaiden 2 since this February. So that's not good news. Not immediately at least.

In a nutshell: "We dont want to pay any royalties to Tomonobu Itagaki".

Microsoft partly financed their development, they were high-end exclusives for their consoles at one point.
This is a multiplatform release, appearing on Sony and Nintendo platforms alongside Xbox and PC. So there might be some other important issues in play with getting originals to non-MS platforms, unrelated to source code being (or not being) lost.

When pigs fly, hell freezes over, and Microsoft hires Bluepoint to port them to PC.

Not happening.

Hayashi considers them hardcore gamer's games, and not very accessible. Furthermore, I see three reasons behind the incredibly convenient: "Sorry, we are unable to salvage the code." when talking about these games directed by Itagaki:
1) KT refuses to pay additional royalties to Tomonobu.
2) KT doesn't want to beg, collab with, and/or pay MS to get the code. These games run like a dream on the XBone X. NG2's staircase gauntlet runs like how it was always supposed to!
3) Do we really think OG NG2 will run decently on the Switch? Sigma 2, with its significant enemy count nerfs, purple mist in lieu of blood, and little to no dismembered limbs on the screen is better suited to run on it.

You can emulate Black on Xemu almost perfectly. There are a handful of visual bugs but it works great.

I personally can't. It has terrible slowdowns for me and is basically unplayable.

No, never. Devs lost the code (i dont believe it tbh, they're probably just lazy).

All we can hope for is uncut patch for NG2 since there is an uncut patch even for the PS Vita version of NGS.

Are you sure you're using the latest version of Xemu? I can play it scaled up 4x on the surf scale branch at full speed...

As stated before, Itagaki and MS are the most likely reasons. The reason Sigma doesn't breach the contract with MS is due to the fact that it falls under the Bleem! Defense. They're still in a contract with MS for the original xbox game, the black version of that game, and 2. You're basically asking them to breach a contract. Now, technically KT has the royalties, not Itagaki, but even either way it could end up in a court battle. So, ya. Personally, I just play black and 2 on my Series X. I play the Sigma collection on my laptop, my workstation, and my PS5.

Do you have proof that they "invented" it?

What's with all the conspiracy theorists on these boards?
