Microsoft and Tecmo announced today that Ninja Gaiden II has sold a million copies worldwide over the last two months. It's the sort of good news Tecmo could use while it faces a buyout by Square Enix.
Ninja Gaiden II was well received when it released, but was criticized for not being as balanced as the original and for failing to rectify the hilariously wonky camera positioning. Game sales are great, but here's what we really want to know: How many people bought the Ninja Gaiden II "horse armor" on XBLM?

No. It's alot easier than the first.
And I love the game, myself. But Tecmo needs to get off their asses and fix the broken Mission Mode DLC.

Woah woah woah. Just because it's easier doesn't mean the game won't still kick your ass.

The gameplay is pretty much the same as before. Most of us who played the original came in knowing what to expect with 2, so it's no surprise they think it's a bit easier. I personally think the game hasn't improved over the last one at all. If you beat the original, save your money and skip 2.

Awesome news. I'll be making that number 1,000,001 next week.
I am pissed though that every store I go to Too Human is sold out and to get a copy I have to drive an hour and a half to another state to get one. What's up with that? I thought everyone was "mehh" on Too Human.
BTW I guess I'm one of the few that loved the demo despite some small flaws.

You know, in retrospect, Dyack is a fucking genius. He generates his own hype by trashing all over people who talked shit about the game, making sites like Joystiq constantly talk about Too Human. And as more people talk about it, the more people are interested in it. So even though it's a mediocre game. A shit load of people are going to buy it simply because of the hype created by Dyack.

damnit, I still need to get this; I am too obsessed with final fantasy 4 on my DS to do anything else.

It means in the first one when you died you went "Damn, I need to get better."
In this one when you die you go "Damn, that was gay."

And by horse armor,I hope you're referring to the mission mode "downloadable content".
It was included in Ninja Gaiden Black,so it wasnt a new idea. Not to mention it would probably take them more than month to do ALL that,so they probably had it already finished and on the shelf,meaning they could have put on the fucking disc.
But no,stupid people will buy anything off the market place with a smile. SOAPWAS people. What's SOAPWAS?
Standard operating anal procedure with a smile! :)

Well the most recent patch of the game caused chapter 11 to freeze making the game unplayable without first deleting your cache on your XBOX. That was quite awhile ago and they still haven't fixed it.
I didn't mind the game before that happened.
