    Here is a link to a tutorial on how to get them working via a modded console. Big thanks to Guilty for putting this together - ruclips.net/video/I1XDBv01khM/видео.html&feature=emb_title
    Edit as of 18/07/2022
    Noticed this video has gotten a lot more views lately, thanks for that :) Figured I would post these runs just in case anyone wants to see this move in action, both are the WR high scores for HP1 and HP2 as of this writing.

    I never thought about this before but it would have been cool af if they had integrated intercept into NGB by making it exclusive to the True Dragon Sword. Like the Dragon's Eye gives the blade its glowing aura of mystical justguard powers, able to repel any strike. Maybe tighten up the activation window to like 5-8 frames or so. It would feel way more significant than just like 2 extra combos and a damage buff. A true gamechanger that functions as an incredible lategame upgrade that the player feels like they've earned. Like the end of a Metroid game where you're just an unstoppable death ball flying around with the screw attack.

    I don't know why they couldn't just give it as a accomplishment reward for say, beating the hardest difficulty FIRST. A new game plus(usually new enemies/tactics), same thing - at the END. You've earned it beating both modes beforehand and can thus, "style on enemies/bosses" for fun/shits & giggles when you are in the mood.

    Great video. I remember intercept and may still have it on my original Xbox. I still use my OG Xbox occasionally to play NGB mission mode. That console is the only way to add to my 40 million score so I kept it to fuck around with. I put so much time into that game and mode its not worth selling for a few bucks. I never really used that tech but if it was available in black it may have been very useful for that Alma 2 fight on master ninja when I did it without healing. I can see how that would have trivialised the difficulty overall. I was extremely stubborn and usually stuck to a few techniques. I saw alot of top players using inazuna drop and never really practiced or learned it with the DS. Only with the lunar on a few missions. Flying shallow, wall jump attacks and onlanding UT's were the majority of what I used. With scoring I found the game became unbalanced since most of the other moves became near useless and it involved waiting for repeating patterns and spamming UTs. It took alot of patience though. After completing no healing/ninpo on nearly all the missions on MN and doing some farming to hit 40 million I was done, ha ha.

    Getting Sekiro flashbacks from all the block spamming in this video lol (or as me and some others like to say, tink tink tink tink tink). On a serious note, I can see why this never came back as it does seem pretty broken in a game like this. A small part of me does wish it had came back though if only because of the fact that it also works on grabs and I think if the requirements for activating it were more strict or the normal block was nerfed a little bit to compensate it could've worked as a natural part of Ryu's moveset.

    I've recently gotten back into Ninja Gaiden and was playing the master collection and then started playing the original NG2 on series X since that runs flawlessly now on that.... And I just saw NGB could still be bought digitally on Xbox so I got that and been running through that...
    But I'm definitely going to try digging it out and see if I can check the save files...
    If it's there then I'll look to getting the game again if I don't have it...
    I know I got all the DLC when it came out... I remember doing the tournament modes though I know I probably didn't even get in the top 100 lol but I'm interested in checking it out for that one move as I know even more about the game and how it plays than I did back then...
    Back then, me and my friend would think a grounded Ninja was a dead Ninja. So we were always jumping and doing the flying swallow and or trying to launch and combo grab in air...
    Modern gaming has wore me out and just not fun anymore that I've been going back to 360 and ps3 games and ones before...

    The closest contemporary relative of Intercept is NG3RE's Cicada dodge. While it pales in comparison regarding framedata and resource prices (it requires ninpo), the concept of overwhelming safety leading to massive punishment is kept.
    Many of us believe that Cicada dodge needs to disappear due to the dangerous road which allowing such disgerard for recovery frames entails, much in the same manner as Intercept.
    I was unaware of the issues of save file when modding the OG Xbox for the HP Packs, I will have to do some digging.

      Additionally, if disassembling is something you do not wish to do there should be stores in the UK which will do the job; still the removal is fairly easy and *required* , sadly, due to the very poor quality of the capacitor itself, that will eventually lead to leakage of corrosive fluid onto the motherboard, killing the system completely.
