Just rolled the credits. None of the music stood out to me, but this song at the end is great. Even if I don't know what the hell she's saying.

Finished, including all the secret ops levels. I was kind of surprised on how easy the final boss felt in comparison to some of the earlier bosses.

Spoiler: Even second tried him.

Though my setup was pretty great for survivability in the end, which seemed pretty optimal for fighting him in particular.

Think I liked every boss, to an extent, except the second to last one

Overall really good game. Now for hard.

Also, I encountered a pretty major bug.

No idea what caused it. Had to fully close out the game to fix it, after this happened even backing out to main menu wouldn't let me interact with Kumori spots. Was worried it might have corrupted the save file for a second. In hindsight, instead of goofing around and trying to get her killed I would have seen how far it would let me go before blocking level progression or if it would have let me beat the level.

Pretty sure they're using a program that is able to check native framerate despite both consoles being locked to 30

This is such a fucking bizarre situation. If it's capped at 30 which is what everyone is reporting, but this guys software shoed Switch 2 is running it close to 60 with drops, then its beyond weird they didn't unlock it for S2.

Then, there's the fact that the dev hasn't made any comments about the situation.

Hate this industry

Since the bolded doesn't make any sense, I looked carefully at the video on Youtube instead of watching it embedded. There is no such thing as a native framerate that could possibly be checked. It's like testing the top speed of your car while you're driving 30MPH while calling it "native top speed". There's only one speed you're driving that can be measured, it only theoretically goes up from there, you can measure it when it's actually happening.

This guy used a PC capture hardware to record footage of gameplay from a Switch 2. The FPS counter must be measuring the framerate of his output video. He says he doesn't know what he's doing for sure and figuring it all out, since the game is supposed to be locked at 30. He's very discerning that something didn't go right.

So in closing, Switch 2 is still 30FPS and this guy inadvertedly spread misinformtion due to incompetence.

Finished it including all secret ops, wrapping up a handful of trophies for the plat. It's good - maybe even great - but it's far from a "masterpiece" lol. Let's just be happy we got a solid, 2D Ninja Gaiden game after all this time, that at least is worth celebrating. Shinobi is up next and something tells me it will be a lot more impressive, let's see what happens.

Trying to do the 4-5 don't fall in a pit achivement. Keep failing on the chopper because of the bike riding dickbags. Last attempt I got fucked by something during the cutscene, never even grabbed the chopper and went straight into the pit. Le sigh.

What sucks is my first time through the stage I would've gotten it but I had to check if the chains between the carts were just decoration or not. Oops...

All the level specific challenge trophies done, light work

Edit: just beat the first boss on Hard Mode, let's just say the old tactics don't work lol. Stages have more/new enemies and added obstacles including *in* the boss arena lol. This is a worthy challenge and none of that gay assist mode bullshit, my fellow ninjas better not be resorting to such dishonorable tactics, you will be hunted down and ended lol.
