Part 4: Ninja Gaiden Sigma: Chapter 2
We revisit the Hayabusa Village in HD and get a chance to explore an area not originally available to players in the original. Not as many differences in appearance compared to the Ninja Fortress, but as far as changes from the original go this is one of the few chapters where I'm in favor of it.
Ninja Fortress
- Murai is standing closer to the window at the start of the chapter
- The trapdoor stays shut if you walk over it
- A murder of crows are seen outside the entrance to the fortress
- The tunnel with the Art of the Fire Wheels is populated by bats
- The fence surrounding the small pool near the watch tower is removed
- No mages appear during the fight near the watch tower
- Water running is changed to simply holding the left stick in a direction. A kunai scroll from Ayane details this
- There is a stone pedastel next to where the dead ninja and statue's head are found
- The Lunar staff is no longer found in the village
- The bow can be fired while airborne
- Next to the save point after the fight with the Samurai Horsemen, there is a Muramasa statue
- Masakado is covered in flames during the fight. Purely aesthetic and does no extra damage, getting run over by the demon horse is enough
- The Clan Leader's Residence is entirely new to the game, based on what was glimpsed in the original CG cutscene
- An extra Lives of the Gods is found in this section
- After fighting Doku and seeing him walk away, the rest of the original CG cutscene plays
Kunai Scrolls
