message: "Itagaki was quoted that he intentionally sold his soul and the game's right to Microsoft during the event as saying 'I honestly didn't think that Tekken sucks, it was the system it's running on that sucks. Now please enjoy the world's best action game, running on the world's best hardware'"
I found this in the article. It sounds like vandalism.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:NG2 Logo.jpg

message: The latest edit adds:
"Due to mass amounts of complaining at the difficulty of the first game, Ninja Gaiden 2 is being made much easier with an auto-heal feature to make the game 'more accessible to casual players'."
Articles I've read imply the auto-heal will only heal a fraction of lost health, and I've read nothing declaring the game will be "much easier". Can anyone provide a source or should this be cleaner up?

replies: text: It is true that they are adding a difficulty level intended for those who are new to the series. It is called "Path of the Acolyte." Itagaki discussed this in a recent Gametrailers interview (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30395.html). More info can be found here as well: http://xbox360.qj.net/Itagaki-on-Ninja-Gaiden-2-s-new-feature-Path-of-the-Acolyte/pg/49/aid/112525. He stated that it was going to be easier than the "Ninja Dog" difficulty from the previous game. --HeavenlyEire (talk) 08:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

message: why is there no resolution in the infobox? is it because it is SD (585) like Halo 3 and Haze or some? Cliché Online (talk) 14:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I've said three times already, get a verifiable source and you can add 585p. Thanks! Fin©™ 16:00, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: reolution 585p/720p

message: Continued from section above...
The infobox now lists 585p, but the reference stems back to a few forum postings relating investigation done by an pseudonymous user, with no verification or confirmation.  That doesn't seem to be an appropriately reliable source.  (Note, the reference itself is to a news story, but the news story cites a forum post without any indication of fact-checking it.)
Does anyone have a better citation, or an argument that the current citation is sufficient?  Otherwise, it should (and will) be removed. gnfnrf (talk) 15:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I move for making a separate article for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, complete with it's own fact chart, release dates, and other vitals.  It can link back to this article too.Super Saiyan Musashi (talk) 01:22, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sigma 2 should be split off 

message: It's really unnecessary to have it have its own article; I mean, it's mostly a list of differences between the two versions. Remakes may often warrant an article, but remakes don't automatically get articles - Dragon Quest IV on the DS doesn't warrant a remake, because the gameplay is largely unchanged, though it does have some changes. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 18:34, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure why we need to have a separate article for a list of differences in a same-generation remake that can be summed up in two paragraphs. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 06:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

text: "It's different" is not a valid reason to be separate. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 00:44, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I consider two topics being different reason enough to have separate pages. Else, wikipedia would consist of a single article. Thanks! Fin©™ 11:06, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: ...So your logic is that we should have an article about every single different thing in the entire world. Cool! Better go make an article for every single port, remake, compilation ever created. Having differences is by far one of the weakest reasons to have a separate article about a video game. Can it be adequately covered in the main article? Yes. So at what point is this article remotely necessary? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 17:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I would prefer to have separate articles for remakes and compilations (though I think ports could be in the same article). I think having differences is by far one of the strongest reasons to keep articles separate. I remember saying this to you before somewhere - just because articles can be merged doesn't mean they should be merged. Thanks! Fin©™ 18:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: So what you're saying is that we should have articles made about things that don't need articles just because they have a handful of differences. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 18:26, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not at all - "things that don't need articles" and "handful of differences" are both your perceptions. I think we should have articles made about things if they deserve to be separate. Like I say above, I don't think that everything that could be merged should be merged! Thanks! Fin©™ 19:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why shouldn't it? It's so special because of its poor writing? Its lack of references? Its lack of any development section? Its huge lead? Its original research? Its references in the lead? Its "list of changes"? There are a number of problems with the article that not one person has fixed, and judging by their involvement with the article, will never fix. Basically, in such a case where an article can be merged but cannot make GA, it should be merged. If you want to rescue the article be my guest, but don't just say "No this article should stay" and leave it to stagnate in its current, mediocre state. Super Mario 64 DS - great, Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen - great, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - awful. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 20:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "It" meaning this article? I've no problem with merging this one, a paragraph or two in the original one would be fine. Thanks! Fin©™ 20:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
