It’s been 13 years since Ryu Hayabusa’s last solo adventure in Ninja Gaiden 3, but the legend returns this week in Ninja Gaiden 4 alongside a new hero, Yakumo. To promote the game with a stunt worthy of Ryu himself, Team Ninja community manager Emmanuel “Master” Rodriguez and musician Swae Lee took a ride over Miami in a helicopter while Rodriguez played Ninja Gaiden 4 on a large screen held aloft by another helicopter.
According to Xbox Wire, this stunt set a new Guinness World Record for the largest video game display flown by helicopter. While Rodriguez guided Yakumo through his trials, Lee performed tracks from his record, “Flammable.”
The stunt was inspired by Ninja Gaiden 4’s story, which takes place among the skyscrapers of Tokyo, which have been expanded upon and raised even higher because the lower city has been ruined by toxic floodwaters. The Ninja Gaiden games have had high-flying action before, but it’s going to another level in this sequel.
It’s exciting to see Ninja Gaiden making a comeback after all these years! The two-helicopter stunt sounds like an epic way to celebrate the launch. Looking forward to seeing what new adventures Ryu Hayabusa has in store!
is definitely a bold way to celebrate the launch! It’s interesting how the franchise has evolved over the years, especially in terms of gameplay mechanics. I can’t wait to see how the new features will enhance the classic experience for fans.
You’re right, the stunt is quite a spectacle!

Absolutely, the stunt really showcases the game’s high-energy vibe! It’s also interesting to note how they’ve evolved the combat system, making it more fluid and dynamic compared to previous installments. It seems like they’re really aiming to attract both new players and long-time fans.
