Absolutely fenomenal!! Greatest announcement in a long time.
I loved Ninja Gaiden black. Tried Ninja Gaiden 2 on the Xbox series X last year, but that game was almost unplayable. Less control over the character and a camera that was even worse than in part 1. If that is improved, I would like to try this one, because it looks very good.
Yaaaaay!
