Ninja Gaiden 2 and Shining in the Darkness coming to VC
Heads up, retro gamers! The Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console is adding two more classics to its already-incredible list of blasts from the past. This time, it’s Ninja Gaiden 2 and Shining in the Darkness‘ turn to spread nostalgic fun and the ESRB rates them E for everyone to enjoy.
Most of us, new or old in gaming years, would recognize Tecmo‘s immortal Ninja Gaiden franchise. From the Game & Watch version, where you perpetually avoid what look like shurikens to the visually stunning but obviously challenging Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the Sony PlayStation 3, the gaming world has followed where the stealthy warrior leads them.
This resurrection of the second game in the series should allow old fans to showcase their skills again and let newbies experience the steep learning curve that the franchise has been known for.
Shining in the Darkness, on the other hand, is a nice RPG which puts you in the iron boots of a hotshot knight who happens to be Mortred’s own son. As the court’s most promising squire, you set out on quests to serve the king and prove yourself in battle. Dragons beware, because you’ll be in town to whack their ancient pixels to oblivion.
