Team Ninja has released the first update for the newly released Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, and has added fan requested features.

The first major feature is the addition of New Game Plus. This mode allows you to restart the game from the beginning, while retaining your unlocked weapons and nipon (magic). Gear will need to be upgraded again, as they will be set to level 1, but this will allow you to play through the entire game with your favorites.

Another addition is the ability to hide projectile weapons. One issue many fans of the original had with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 carried over into 2 Black; the projectile weapons appearing on Ryu's back. This new update adds an option in the menu to toggle off the weapon, making it invisible when not in use.

The final additional feature is the inclusion of Photo Mode. As expected, this allows you to pause the game, rotate the camera, and take pictures of your favorite scenes.

On top of these changes, some bugs have been fixed as well, and enemy counts and health bars have been adjusted in multiple parts of the game.
