When does streamlining a game go to far? (ninja gaiden 2)

Now I understand that a game being insanely difficult for no reason isn't fun.  But when does the line get drawn from streamlining and ruining some of the gameplay?  Okay, it's not huge, but just check this out---> the enemies are fucking devil may cry enemies.  They're so, so slow now.   Seriously though, they don't the enemies move around anymore, what gives?  Ninja Gaiden is all about fast movement.

Apparently they're also taking out other things like the crawling kamikazes.  ):


Also, talking about censorship.  The enemies now bleed....purple hazes?  What?  Seems like decapitations aren't there anymore either and in general it's harder to ampitate someone.  Is this....good?
Doubt the scythe is in it now considering the weapon wouldn't be right without the blood.  Hmm.... isn't this taking it too far?

I find it stranger that they bleed, like, purple and blue now. Huh?

In its defense, this is the beginning of the game, and no difficulty was shown as being selected. (Not that it makes a difference, since playing it on Easy mode means that only one of your balls will be busted instead of both :P.)

NG2 sucks.  I not buying this shit again for PS3.  The only good games of this genre are DMC and GoW.

It is kind of weird what they're doing, but the first game was definitely way too hard. After finishing the game on the harder difficulty, I knew what torture was. It looks like the camera is still a bit annoying in this for the most part, but it doesn't look like the violence or anything else will be too big a deal. It did look like they were showing it on the acolyte difficulty (AKA easy), so that could be something

The Ninja Gaiden series was always too hard to be fun for me. : /
