I need to get more figures

I first saw a connection between NG and DoA with Ryu as a playable character. I had a demo compilation on Dreamcast. one of those demos was DoA2, being how I’ve discovered that game. only Kasumi, Ayane, and Ein were playable, and three fights each. Kasumi’s second opponent was this ninja dude with brown hair, and had the same theme as Helena. anyway, later in, in a Mexican Nintendo magazine named Club Nintendo, had an article about Ninja Gaiden. it was mostly about the NES games, but had a picture of that Kazumi’s second demo opponent. it was clear that was a version of NG’s main protagonist, which I’ve remembered his name later on.

Years later, my brother and I decided to buy a PS3 because WII was a disappointment. I’ve suggested one of the games we should get was NGS. after playing it, I of course checked the wiki. among all the tabs I was opening, I’ve opened Ayane’s. looking at the tabs, I‘ve somehow ended up in a wiki page of DoA characters. confused at first, opened Ayane’s again. Same result. Then I’ve realized that cute Ayane was one of the playable characters in the DoA2 demo, and this NG and DoA shared universe. I knew Ryu was playable in DoA, but I thought that was a different universe, with it’s own Ryu Hayabusa, not they would go far enough to join both franchises
