I really feel like they dropped the ball in a lot of ways with this low aspiration port. Like, I don't even necessarily care about faithfulness to NG2 Black if they did stuff like, I dunno, letting you do another cycle of the game without having to route stuff. Making the extra playable characters not piles of garbage that show the weaknesses and pettiness of their crappy balance changes from Sigma 2.
You know, make the game actually more enjoyable because of how you get to play it. I feel like they need to learn that they can't hide the stupid decisions of Sigma 2 behind the prestige of 2 Black, which is by no means a game without glaring flaws, but one of those games doesn't have dead weight, unfun characters.
I don't mind playing as characters other than Ryu, but plopping them in for instance is not a "feature" to Ninja Gaiden II original. It's just bloat, stuff that looks good on paper until you have to play them in a mode where "oops, guess you delimbed someone and all the utility of your commitment to that combo is now gone.
The obvious bait and switch aside, this port just remaining seemingly untouched in dramatic ways just shows a creative cowardice. I'm really glad this was a gift I got and not something I spent actual money on.
