Chapter 4: Ninja Gaiden 2 vs. Sigma 2 vs. Black 2 (Master Ninja) - A Captive Goddess

This is part of a video series comparing all three versions of Ninja Gaiden 2 on Master Ninja difficulty. In general, Ninja Gaiden 2 (played on Xbox One X) is at the top left, Sigma 2 (Master Collection on PC) at the top right, and 2 Black (PC) on the bottom. Cutscenes and certain battles are synced, primary game audio comes from Sigma 2 because it was the only one I didn't stream, and when one game continues playing or has a unique scene while the others don't it will become full screen. I didn't label each game because I have faith in you, the viewer, to figure that part out. :) If you want to see the individual games, they are unlisted on my channel and linked below.

There are a few fights present in the original game that are absent in either rerelease, but I also chose to skip one or two of the fights with the flying fiends. If I have to leave the arena to refill on projectiles because of how many there are and how much of a crapshoot it is to rely on Ryu's autoaim, while *being shot at by potentially three or four fireballs at once*, it's just not worth it. One interesting thing to note is that in Sigma 2, you're stuck with level 2 weapons at best for a while, so the boss fights actually take a bit because of the damage output. It's also not shown, but on master ninja, getting grabbed basically kills you every time in Sigma 2, so in general you might see me play a bit cautiously in that game.
