I-Ninja (Xbox)

I-Ninja
Developer: Argonaut Games Publisher: Namco Platform: Xbox Released in US: December 4, 2003 This game has unused text. This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden level select.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Take on the authentic ninja lifestyle as Philip J. Fry and the fish from American Dad use their totally hardcore '90s-relic attitude to take down the rival Ranx clan—the 'X' makes it sound cool. Actually a pretty good game, with a lot of variety, including shooter levels and giant robot battles alongside the more standard Prince of Persia acrobatic stuff and over the top combat.

Debug Features

In general.vol there is a GAME.TXT file located at the hex address 0xC3800 which contains debug options which grant the player special permissions when enabled. To toggle these options, you must change the text following the desired option to either "OFF" or "ON".

"DEBUG_CHEATS" is located at 0xC3911. (Enables various debug tools both in-game, and in the pause menu)

"DEBUG_TEXT" is located at 0xC3958. (Toggles RAM, CPU, and various other text on-screen)

"DEBUG_FLY" is located at 0xC399D. (?)

"LEVEL_SELECT" is located at 0xC39E3. (Toggles a "Level Select" menu on the title screen which lists all levels in LEVELS.TXT)

"DEMO_LEVEL_SELECT" is located at 0xC3A25. (Toggles a "Level Select" menu on the title screen which lists only the levels prefixed with a "*" in LEVELS.TXT)

"SOUND" is located at 0xC3A76. (Toggle all game audio)

Developer Texts

Every version and edition of I-Ninja contains a variant of levels.txt and game.txt... strangely the final Xbox version contains two game.txt files.

environment_maps.txt

An empty text file labelled "environment_maps.txt" can be located in the \XBox directory.

Much like the GameCube version, there are no levels in the 60-* range. This is because the 60-* range of levels were debug/testing levels which were wiped from the final version of every edition of I-Ninja.

GAME.TXT (2)

This second GAME.TXT is located at 0xC3800 contains the same options/info as the first GAME.TXT, however this text is called and actually functions when options are toggled. The only natural difference between these text files is "DEMO_LEVEL_SELECT" is toggled "ON" by default in this file.
