Following its surprise release, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have just released a new update for Ninja Gaiden II Black.
This update includes some balance adjustments and bug fixes, and adds in three features: New Game+, Photo Mode, and an option to hide your projectile weapon.
Ninja Gaiden II Black New Features
- New Game+: Added the ability to begin a new game on a difficulty level you have previously cleared with the weapons and Ninpo you obtained in your previous playthrough already unlocked. When starting a new game this way, your weapons and Ninpo will be reverted to level 1.
- Photo Mode: Added Photo Mode to the in-game Options Menu. You can move the camera around within a set limit to take screenshots.
- Ability to Hide Projectile Weapon: Added a “Show Projectile Weapon” option under “Game Settings” in the Options Menu, which allows you to hide your projectile weapon while it is carried on your back.
