Team Ninja has confirmed some new details about the upcoming Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, namely how it will run on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One X.
In a translated tweet from the company, key details about the game’s performance were revealed. Most notable was how the title will run at 4K, 60FPS. This feature isn’t just specific to Xbox Series X players, but also Xbox One X owners and even seemingly Xbox Series S owners. The tweet does go on to say that the frame rate could potentially drop depending on playing conditions, so certain areas could see some resolution and frame dips.
The collection launches on June 10, and includes Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. Team Ninja has also said while there are no plans for a new entry, they would love to see the series return to Xbox. This is definitely a step in the right direction.

Actually just purchased a copy of Ninja Gaiden Black to play via BC on my One X, purely on the announcement of this trilogy pack.
Looking at the comments regarding the announcement the consensus seemed to be the Sigma versions are inferior so having never played any, it seems that Black is the place to start!
Tempting, but Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II are already 4K 60FPS thanks to the One X support.
These are the best versions in my eyes, considering Sigma cuts back on the gore and enemy count.
The 3rd game...well that's best forgotten anyway...
Better off just buying the BC versions - especially if you have Xbox One X or Series X for the X Enhanced versions of NG Black and NG2.
Yes, it's $70 for the whole trilogy bought separately, but at least 2 of those games aren't the Sigma versions.
Huh, I always thought Sigma was better. I still associate Sigma with being the game I define early PS3 by, and was one of my most played Vita games. Seems so old now, but fond memories.
@NEStalgia I think the original Sigma version has better graphics over OG Xbox Ninja Gaiden [Black], but had worse performance. The rest of the features that are different are probably more of a matter of taste on which is better - though many people feel like the changes to Sigma make it the inferior version.
Sigma 2, however, there is a clear-cut winner - the original Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox 360. Check out the DF video from about a year ago that talks specifically about the Xbox One X Enhancements for Ninja Gaiden 2:

The existence of this collection still doesn't change that xbox is the best platform to play these games.
I'm going to get this for Xbox so that I can have almost the complete selection of games on one machine. I'd like to see NG3 available via BC at some point to have to full list.
I’m excited about this! Is it digital only? Please do a DOA collection next! Wild love to play DOA 2-5 at 4k 60!
Ninja Gaiden Black is already there. If it was 120fps I might be interested. But given that the collection only has one good game, gonna be a big ol' pass from me.
"Team Ninja has also said while there are no plans for a new entry, they would love to see the series return to Xbox."
How then? -_-
