A brand-new side-scrolling entry to the NINJA GAIDEN series – NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is now available on GOG!

Our story begins when Ryu Hayabusa journeys to America to honor his father's will. While he is away, the barrier between the human and the demon worlds suddenly shatters, unleashing a terrifying army upon the Hayabusa Village, which now faces an unprecedented threat in Ryu's absence.

To stand against this new threat, Kenji Mozu, a young ninja from the Hayabusa Village, rises to the challenge! Trained by Ryu, he fights fiercely but soon finds himself in desperate straits. Forced to tap into forbidden power, Kenji sets aside centuries of animosity and forms an alliance with the sinister Black Spider Clan, convinced that combining their souls and skills is the only way to protect the world out of the Demon Lord's grasp!

Wishlist it now!
Koei Temco video games being sold on gog.com now? Finally.

Now if we can get Koei Temco to port Dead or Alive 1, Dead or Alive 2, Dead or Alive 3, and Dead or Alive 4 to PC. I would purchase them all. Dead or Alive 5 is ported to PC, but I think it went Free to Play (F2P) a while after it was released for sale? I would not want Dead or Alive 5 ever to be released on gog.com, unless Koei Temco turns Dead or Alive 5 from a Free to Play (F2P) video game to a one time paid for video game and include all of the DLC's and microtransactions in to Dead or Alive 5 all at once. Then I will purchase Dead or Alive 5, as long as Dead or Alive 5 with all of it's DLC's and microtransactions is included and then I will purchase Dead or Alive 6 if Koei Temco decides to sell Dead or Alive 5 and Dead or Alive 6 on gog.com. I really really want every single Dead or Alive video games to be sold on gog.com 100% Digital Rights Management (DRM) free. I have been waiting for Koei Temco to start selling their video games on gog.com and now with NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound I can very happily start purchasing Koei Temco video games. I will also purchase Rise of the Ronin. Well I officially thought NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound was by Koei Temco? I thought the Intellectual Property (IP) was owned by them? All of the other NINJA GAIDEN video games are listed under their name?

That's why they're "Legacy votes", and, as far as I'm concerned should be referenced alongside the dreamlist entries whenever possible. Especially when they have not been carried over to the dreamlist.

00063: This is a new one. I can't find "NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound" in the catalogue and there's NO entry on gogdb either.
GoG really is falling apart!
From looking after my first messagein this news post seems someone at gog set this news post to go live like 4 weeks too soon.. given the wording currently in this thread says''now available.. '' and it hasn't released anywhere yet save for a demo

There is currently no store page for this game, so it may not be available until around July 31st.

BanditKeith2: Dreamlist not wishlist entry we need to do as Gog basically said wishlist entrys are not useless to vote on

Regardless Gog said Dreamlist is now the go to as wishlist entrys aren't one to matter as a whole pretty much anymore

GOGDB updates every 2 hours, it's not real-time.

This one isn't, it's published by Dotemu so you can thank them for bringing the game here, not Koei tecmo

Not published, I thought Koei Temco owned the Intellectual Property (IP) rights to the NINJA GAIDEN video game name.
Have to say, it actually looks pretty good (at least the in0game graphics, the anime stuff is... well, anime). I never played any Ninja Gaiden, so I'm not sure if it's for me. I also have a feeling it's going to be frustratingly difficult...

They do, but that's obviously not stopping them from licensing out the intellectual property.

The Game Kitchen is actually the one to thank for the day-one GoG release, I think. All of their games are available on GoG (except for what looks like a VR-only title, no loss there), which on the other hand cannot be said about DotEmu.

Well then here is to hoping Koei Tecmo sees the sales data from DotEmu and releases their video games in the next few years for sale on gog.com.
Any Ninja Gaiden game is a total Day One buy for me! Good get, GOG! :)

That's another possibility, but we did get Metal slug tactics recently from Dotemu as well
Nice.
