Japanese Commercials
Just pre-ordered by copy of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 at Amazon but just before I did, thought I'd check out the official site to check the release date (this Thursday) and came across these interesting ads ^^;
Do you notice yourself leaning back n forth when playing games?
And an interesting comparison between the 360 and PS3 version.
And some of the demo which I've been playing for a bit.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Interesting difference in the graphics. I'm sure some will want the PS3 version and some will want the 360 version. I do have to say though that the biggest difference is the blood and gore on the 360 and lack of it on the PS3.

i'm wondering though, was it played on a Japanese or non-Japanese PS3... because Japanese PS3 got hardware blood censorship that reduces the amount of blood on the screen...

wow Really!! I didnt know that!!!! thats un-real!!!

The biggest difference for me is the ability to play as Ayane, Momiji, and Rachel through their own mission packs, and then do co-op missions online as well, both of which you can't get on the 360 version. I can live without the gore in this case (especially with sixaxis juggling :P)

The XBOX 360 vs. PS3 comparison is fake, since I saw them both and saw another comparison witch showed the contrary. I just wanna say one thing, judge for yourself when you'll play the game... I guess I'm just tired to see all those PS3 vs 360, Mac vs PC, PSP vs DS... boring and non-sense. Make your own decisions and don't get influenced by companies people, please! NIPPON BANZAI!

I know in some countries you can't show blood, so I'm thinking they used the game from that country for the PS3 version in the video.

God Dammm (X_X) I hate those Bull Dropping FanBoy comparison videos (360 or PS3 favored). The comments made are so BS. The lack of blood and lesser oppai movement has nothing to do with the Cell processor nor the capabilities of the physics engine. Why didn't he commented on the higher resolution textures, better lighting, bit shading, extra sakura petles and you can wiggle oppai found on the ps3 version. (X_x)...... (^_^)I like wiggling oppai(^_^)woohoo

I felt of sofa once, I think I was playing Mario Kart for N64. But I just do this with racing games... and my last console was N64, it's being a looooong time.
This game looks so cool on PS3, OMGAW... waiting for my kingdom heats to DS.

I've only seen lots of Ninja Gaiden commercials, but are there any other video game commercials around which are as... unique?
I love the first one, oppai touchie! The second one, footprints, was awesome.

lol The shake commercial is funny. I personally notice minor shaking or tapping of feet for action games, but never this extreme. ^^;
Makes me wonder if Gundam pilots would shake their heads this extreme during melee fights. XD

I´m just amazed at the content of the commercials. They really know how to appeal to their customers :)
I wish that they would be able to do that here. But nope. The most boring commercials I´ve ever seen are show here in Sweden whenever there is a possibility...

I hope the one doing the comparison was being ironic or else I'd say fanboism has gone literally blind. PS3 graphics were far superior. For once: the capability to display darker color is actually the basic principle of crisper graphics. And that's not counting the overwhelming differences in lightning. the 360's lightning effect was awful,straight out from last-gen(the ground for example).the polygons in hayabusa's mask, the reflections of the gauntlet's knives and that of the armor(from the ones attacking the blond chick), speaking of her,the lightning on her hair. the gore is more of a marketing decision(lowering ESRB's rating).

I guess female ninjas do have their disadvantage(s) ^^;

The advertisements are great. I tend to lean a little when playing games, mostly Ace Combat 5 fighting games, not so much.

Interesting ad's, when I play console games I 'think' I rock forwards and back when I'm moving and jumping around like a mad man avoiding enemies

I "was" moving around when I play games, especeially action games. But that was way long ago, I'm cool as an ice now XD. Except when I play MH, that game was really REALLY intense.
As for NGS 2, I don't think I'm interested, Uncharted 2 is a better option in my opinion ^_^

The first 2 ads are great! I particularly liked the first one, very "interactive".
I think I'm gonna get Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 for the PS3 since I haven't had a good slash & hack game since DMC4.

Nice ads, but the ninja taliban won't be well received in US. Just a prediction. =P
I wonder... I always wondered why j characters in anime and games and manga have big... erm you know. Makes me wonder, do real life women with big erm milk glands are happy with them? =?
Just wondering.

Wow, they certainly know how to market a game.
I don't think I've ever really played a Ninja Gaiden game past a short demo. I should really look into it more if I ever can.

I have Ninja Gaiden Sigma, didn't really get into it though. Guess it's not my type of game?

Those commercials are pretty cool. ^^
Don't have a PS3 or HDTV though. Maybe time to check out getting a PS3?

I've actually found myself unconsciously moving while I play but not as bad as that guy.
The third one reminded me of another commercial I saw on youtube the other day. It was something like a slow-motion of the players' heads bobbing up and down before ending with what I believe is Ayane eyes taking up the screen. Something like that.

Hayabusa's eyes are much more detail/better looking during the 1st cutscene in the PS3
i like~~~

That was a great TV ad. I noticed most of them seem to feel oppai from bottom to top which I find interesting since I think my reaction would be more or less top to bottom.

Oh yes i just love their ads! XD
Anyway the graphics is really very very different. The difference is really day and night. I find it funny some reviewers say the graphics was only improved by a little. @_@
