the forums are locked.  oh, he's native italian...this would explain the miscommunication and the stubborness about being corrected 

the vid in case anyone else nerds out on this stuff: 
anyone can see the similarities at the end of the vid-- the menus are practically the same.  but also the character's animations when jumping and wall running were practically 1:1 to ninja gaiden, aside from physics.  The stage intro splash screen with the red background is in the Sigma series...not as much red in NG xbox, I don't think.  But the text formatting is also just like NG.
too bad it only runs in debug mode on modded xboxes , i'd like to try it.  Pretty neat stuff...I wonder if it was Team Ninja working on this game or if it's some other team's work that they took for NG.
