Would be cool to see this version ported/remade to PC like they did with Black 2. I tried to fix my old xbox to play it once more, but the disc drive needs to be replaced and only an original one would work and they're very rare to find, which means paying a lot for something that you can't be sure that will work for much longer. I tried a lot of popular hack n' slash stuff (greek era God of War, Devil May Cry, Darksiders, etc.) over the years, but none of them were half as exciting as this game. Really wish I could play it once more.
its a memorable game that gave cutting a different kind of sensation in games, the gameplay mechanic and ai was done very well to this day. I love to see this game on pc, it has to happen !
This is easily the greatest Ninja Action Adventure game of all time. For me its the greatest game of all time. A true master piece. I haven't consistently gone back to a game every year since its release until this game. Been a Ninja Gaiden gamer for over 20 years and would love to see Ryu back in Black again!

I've yet to fully dive into the Ninja Gaiden series, and that's partly because the versions that fans largely agree to be the best are not available anymore. NG1 Black and the original NG2 have basically been replaced by their Sigma counterparts, which are widely considered weaker as far as I can tell from the outside. I'm not sure why the company chooses to leave the more beloved versions behind, but I would love to get the chance to play them.

Best version of ninja gaiden and it not being available on pc is a crime in my opinion. This version is amazing and deserves a pc port because the sigma version isn't the best version and this one being hold hostage on xbox does the game a disservice.

In my humble opinion, this is the greatest game ever made. Innovative on multiple fronts, Ninja Gaiden Black is a masterpiece in 3D action. The commitment to a hardcore, fast paced, immersive experience with the depth of a fighting game in unreal. The graphics, art direction and music still hold up. This game is on a tier of it's own compared to its contemporaries, thanks to it's intelligent enemy and level design. Dare I say this influenced Dark Souls. The small differences between this game and Sigma add up, and ultimately this is the superior version. I truly hope we have this game come to GOG as it deserves to be remembered and celebrated forever.

I never used to play Ninja Gaiden Black from xbox platform but might believe great game 18 years ago I might expect Team Ninja & Koei Tecmo remastered Ninja Gaiden Black to GOG like Onimusha: Warlords & Onimusha 2. but not problem if engine graphic inferior to Ninja Gaiden Sigma from Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection because very good run framerate game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and pc low end (handheld gaming computer & AMD APU)

There are very few ways to access this classic and definitive version of this title GOG could be the platform that finally allows people to choose which version of Ninja Gaiden they would want to play!
