DC R1D3R, 04/07/2008 - Although there's been a lot of controversy surrounding Tecmo, Tomonobu Itagaki and Team Ninja, the crack-shot team of developers have found time to release a new patch update for Ninja Gaiden II. Team Ninja have yet to release any info, but the patch seems to resolve; karma farming (now a thing of the past) and the speed karma board glitch. Game slowdown also occurs a lot less often and the glitch where certain enemies would get stuck, has now been completely rectified.
