The best just got better with Ninja Gaiden®: Black, an updated version of last year’s absolutely amazing Xbox action game. While the original Xbox game included the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy console games, Ninja Gaiden®: Black includes the original 2-player co-op arcade version of Ninja Gaiden®.

Much like the new Ninja Gaiden®, it’s a classic. The game emulates the arcade original pretty much perfectly, but unlocking it is no easy task, which is done by finishing the story mode on hard difficulty. It’s easy to see that this old arcade beat-’em-up directly influenced the new game. It’s still plenty of fun to this day, and it retains the arcade version’s two-player-simultaneous gameplay so you can play it with a friend.
