Unused Audio

This is a sub-page of I-Ninja (GameCube, PlayStation 2).

This page or section needs more audio.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this.
Specifically: Adding much more early/unused audio soon! (The page hasn't been updated since 2020, so someone else may need to do it

In the final PAL release of I-Ninja, a "Script Oracle" was leftover from the translation team which allows us to listen to possibly all of I-Ninja's audio files- many of which are unused or from earlier states of the game.

Early Rage Stone Cinematics#

After defeating a boss in a hub world, a cinematic will play where Ninja collects a rage stone from their guardian. These cinematics went through a lot of changes throughout development, so it's no surprise the developers forgot to remove these early scripts.

  • The speech provided with the audio is what's written as the script for said speech, some of which don't match up with what the character says.
