Did this really need multiplayer?

I asked this very question when I heard about Mass Effect 3, but desided to give Bioware the benfit of the doubt because the y know what their doing. Then I go to research a totally different game and see this...

What? Why the hell did Ninja Gaiden need this. And more importantly my do developers keep doing this to game that are pretty much based solely on single-player experience.

I actually think this looks like really good fun. Shame its a bunch of crap people playing in the video as per usual, but I do like the looks of that.

Dude, at least give it a chance. Changed aren't gonna happen if people keep pushing new stuff back. What if this turns out to be like the best multiplayer ever? I mean, I'm sure it won't, but at least play it first!

I don't see Ninja Gaiden multiplayer being wildly popular. It seems like the standard hack & slash mechanics of the game itself, but I don't think that would translate well in online play.

Reminds me of Assassin's Creed Multiplayer. A fun concept, but no real staying power. Plus, no locking on in a hack and slash game? With (inevitable) lag? This won't end well.

Also, being invincible while casting ninpo is going to get really old. Its like armor lock all over again, except now the person can kill you.
