Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)
This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. |
Ninja Gaiden |
---|
Developer: Team Ninja
|
Ninja Gaiden is a reboot of the classic 2D platformer series.
Contents
Unused Sounds
To do: Check if the japanese dialogues have unused lines too. |
sse.afs
Contains the voiced dialogue used in-game, plus several that aren't.
010_Murai.adx
Unused Murai voice line, probably meant to be used when talking with Ryu at the begining of Chapter 3.
071_Rachael.adx
Unused Rachael voice line, probably meant to be used when meeting with Doku at the begining of Chapter 8.
073_Doku.adx
Doku's voice without the voice filter, probably a leftover.
094_Rachael_alt.adx
Unused Rachael voice line, probably meant to be used as an alternative to the call for Ryu at the end of Chapter 15.
103_Ryu.adx
Unused Ryu voice line, probably meant to be used as after his previous dialogue "You're still open?" during Chapter 14.
Unused Music
bgm.afs
Contains the songs used in-game, plus several that aren't.
0611_bgm.adx
A song that was used for the 2002 Xbox Summer lineup trailer. It sounds similar to the Supply Base music, except for the intro. This was included in the Original Sound Trax, though.
bgm_rtm_dummy.adx
Maybe a leftover from early development stages.
shinobi_sato.adx
Probably meant to be used at the begining of Chapter 1, as Ninja Gaiden Sigma makes use of this song as soon as starting the game. Remains unused in Ninja Gaiden Vanilla and Ninja Gaiden Black. This was included as a bonus track in the Original Sound Trax.
Unused Text
s_yasik00.sty
The game cannot be saved in the demo.
Leftover text line from the game demo included in the OXM29 demo disc and kiosk demo, when trying to save the game.
Unused Sprites
spr.afs
This file contains several common sprites, like items or menu screens.
Name | Sprite | In-game | Description |
---|---|---|---|
xbox.spr | Unused Prototype Xbox sprite. It was used for the Prototype Xbox item, seen in the E3 2003 gameplay footage.

arc_fo1.spr | Unused unknown book sprite. | ||
arc_pa1.spr | Unused unknown map/scroll sprite. | ||
arc_st1.spr | Unused unknown stone sprite. Probably an early version of the Stone Tablets. | ||

gofu.spr | An alternate, unused, sprite for the Talisman of Rebirth. It is taller than the used one. Top is unused. Bottom is the final version. | ||
nodata.spr | Unused "No Data" sprite. | ||
ss_orb.spr | Unused sprite. The sprite is the same as nodata.spr. Probably for an unused or unfinished item found in The Hayabusa Village, which is known as ssato in the files. | ||
yoto2.spr | Unused Kitetsu Level 2 sprite. It is unfinished. The sprite is the same as nodata.spr. (The Kitetsu is known as yoto in the files.) | ||
gameover.spr | N/A | Unused background image. Purpose is unknown. | |
sv_chap22.spr | Unused save point sprite, at the entrance of the Military Supply Base at daytime, contrary to Ninja Gaiden Black where the sprite shown is this one, no matter of the actual day time. | ||
sv_chap29.spr | Unused save point sprite, just at the entrance of the Ice Cavern. | ||
theat_p2.spr | Obscured E3 2002, E3 2003, and TGS 2003 sprites, meant to be dispayed in the Movie Theater, probably to play their respective press conference trailers. | ||
saveload.spr | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
N/A | Early Ki meter gauge. During early stages of development the Ki power was apparently refilled by inflicting damage to enemies, instead of using the Devil Elixirs.
(Source: David Lim) Meant to be displayed at the Save/Load screen. These are also present in demo.spr inside demo.afs.
|
![]() ![]() |
N/A | Unused "Select" and "Cancel" buttons. Meant to be displayed at the Save/Load screen. It is present in many other sprite files, such as shop.spr and clear.spr | |

option.spr | N/A | Obscured information sprite. Only part of it is actually displayed. "Press start to back" is totally obscured. It is present in many other sprite files. | |
Unused Xbox Duke Controller sprite. Meant to be displayed in the Button Remapping screen. | |||
N/A | Unused Japanese Xbox S Controller jewel. Probably meant to be displayed instead of the American/European counterpart. | ||
coming.spr | N/A | Leftovers from the OXM29 and Kiosk demo version, meant to be shown as a sequence after the ending cutscene of Chapter 1.
