Ninja Gaiden 2 Black Mod Adds Wallace to the Game
A new PC mod adds a comedic twist to the fast-paced action of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black by replacing the legendary hero with the bumbling Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.
The recently released Ninja Gaiden 2 Black remaster has taken the gaming world by storm, but it’s the modding community that’s adding an extra layer of humor to the mix. A new mod for the action-packed title replaces the iconic protagonist, Ryu Hayabusa, with none other than Wallace from the beloved animated series Wallace and Gromit. The mod, created by HaiseSasan125, has quickly gained traction among fans and provides a comically bizarre new way to experience the high-speed combat of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black.
A Comedic Twist on Ninja Gaiden's Fast-Paced Combat
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, the remastered version of the 2008 Xbox 360 classic, was shadow-dropped as part of Xbox's Developer Direct alongside the announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4. The game has already garnered praise for its slick combat and nostalgia-inducing graphics. However, it didn’t take long for modders to get their hands on the game and inject some of their own creativity.
One particularly hilarious mod replaces Ryu Hayabusa, the deadly ninja, with Wallace, the bumbling inventor from the Wallace and Gromit franchise. Wallace’s quirky nature and love for cheese are a stark contrast to Ryu’s serious, relentless warrior persona, and the result is a truly comical experience. Watching Wallace flip and slash through hordes of enemies while maintaining his trademark awkward charm adds a whole new level of absurdity to the action.
Fans Are Loving the Wallace Mod
The mod, available for download on NexusMods, has quickly become a fan favorite. Players have been posting clips of their in-game adventures, with Wallace hilariously dispatching enemies with his signature clumsiness. The mod has sparked even more suggestions from the Wallace and Gromit fanbase, with some calling for additional mods, like turning all enemies into blocks of cheese—paying homage to Wallace’s ongoing love affair with cheese throughout the franchise.
It’s not just Wallace fans who are having fun with the mod either. One user jokingly asked for a mod that would introduce CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas into Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, referencing the ongoing meme in the modding community where CJ is added to nearly every game for comedic effect.
Ninja Gaiden Fans Have More to Look Forward To
While Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a hit right now, the Ninja Gaiden franchise is just getting started for 2024. The upcoming Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, a 2D action platformer from the creators of Blasphemous, is set for a Summer release. Additionally, Ninja Gaiden 4 is on track for a Fall 2025 release, and fans are eager to see what modders will do with the newest installment once it hits.
With the creative energy already flowing through the modding community, there’s no doubt that Ninja Gaiden 4 will see its fair share of hilarious and bizarre mods as well, much to the delight of fans who enjoy pushing the limits of the Ninja Gaiden universe in unexpected ways.
Whether you’re slicing through enemies as a deadly ninja or a lovable, cheese-obsessed inventor, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is showing no signs of slowing down in terms of fun—and mods like Wallace’s appearance are making sure the fun keeps coming.
