I briefly played it in 2008 and dropped it. When the time is right, I should check it out again.
That's a solid upgrade.

Gen 5, 6, but also early 7 games can sometimes be hard to properly appreciate, especially 3D ones: whereas sprite-based 2D games don't suffer that much from the bad resolution, playing a 3D game on relatively low resolutions without a hint of antialiasing and a muddy look can be hard nowadays. The way these games look and perform on the X is incredible, they are like legitimate remasters with improved performance, better looking graphics, modern features (screenshots, videos, streaming, etc. like in other games), and so on. Fantastic stuff. I'll have to snag a cheap copy sooner or later.
The 360 was my favorite system of the gen and one of my favorites of all time, but in retrospect its a little hilarious how poorly games ran on it.
The performance of titles in that era is a big reason why "standard performance" was pushed so strongly this gen.
I love the Gaiden series, I'm not sure if I traded this in or kept it, I know I still own the Xbox one, gotta take a look in my old game bag and see if I still have this!

Well its impossible since the 'enhanced 360 games' only just multiply the original resolution 9x. So if the original resolution is lower than 720p a native 4K is impossible. At least using the current method that is.
I was hoping they could do 16x, but the game's resolution isn't low enough for that (it would have to be 540p) :p
Can't wait to play it, already loaded it up on my X but I am gonna finish a couple of things before jumping in.
You know how I know you didn't watch the video....
Also the stair section was patched on the 360. It doesn't have anywhere near the amount of enemies.
That depends entirely on the resolution of the original game, the emulator scales it 3x on every axis (2x on the base model - EDIT: oops, actually it's nothing on the base model, I confused it with OG Xbox games which are rendered in 16x the resolution on the X, and I believe 4x on the base model). Xbox One X could probably run it in native 4k as well, but that's how the emulator works.

Ninja Gaiden 2 looks so damn slick on the X, the image quality difference with the 360 is day and night! And completely locked at 60fps, that's very impressive!
The team responsible for BC at Microsoft is awesome. I only wish that all BC games had X enhancements. It's hard to go back to the jaggies.

There were a ton of sub-720p games last gen, though most were 600p+, so it's on the low end for sure, but not *entirely* shocking.
Final Fantasy XIII was 576p on 360.
Its more accurate to say that current gen team ninja games look last gen. Nioh and DOA6 are still using the same basic engine and asset creation pipeline they were using back with this game, infact the muramasa model is ripped directly from the Sigma games which was ripped directly from this game
I wish they would actually get up to the time period, but i guess keeping the same set up makes it easier to adhere to prioritizing 60fps..
Yep, all OG Xbox games are enhanced in the X. No exceptions that I know of.
I don't know if I was just too young and impressionable to the Gaf hive mind at time of release but it I really like it now: gorgeous game and way better art and design than XV.
Absolutely incredible improvement! This BC intiative is the best thing that MS has ever done!
Most major 360 and PS3 games were sub 720p. That was not an uncommon resolution at all.

I want to play the staircase fight in 4K 5fps.
I played it pre-patch back in the day and it was one of the most epic feelings I ever had in the 3D-era. It reminded me of slowdown in NES and SNES games like the mine cart jump in Mega Man X, because it wasn't just a slow frame rate the whole game bogged down into slo-mo.
Edit: the greatest of all time
