It’s not like they have anything else to do right now
Koei Tecmo has released a new trailer for its upcoming compendiumNinja Gaiden: Master Collection. The video focuses on a bevy of babes from 3D fighterDead or Alive, who will be lending Ryu Hayabusa a hand as he relives the challenging adventures of his past.
Up to their elbows in dead ninja bits areDoA‘s poster girls (and bitter rivals) Kasumi and Ayane, who bring their mastery of both martial arts and magic to the fracas. Joining them are Hayabusa’s apprentice Momiji, who debuted in Nintendo DS releaseNinja Gaiden Dragon Swordbut is perhaps best known for breaking jaws as a guest star inDead or Alive 5and6.Rounding out the quartet isNinja Gaidenveteran Rachel, who has also spent recent years making her presence felt inDoA‘s electrified ring.
Koei Tecmo is obviously sticking to the kunoichi theme, as there no sign of Lei-Fang, Hitomi, or any of the non-ninjaDoAgals. This is a shame, as I’d love to see Tina giving a samurai a frankensteiner.Ninja Gaiden: Master Collectionwill contain remastered editions ofNinja Gaiden Sigma,Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, andNinja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, complete with all previously released DLC and some exclusive artwork, making it a fine package for those yet to experience these tough-as-nails hack ‘n’ slash classics.
Ninja Gaiden: Master Collectionlaunches June 10 on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
