Storm Riders is a cancelled action game that was in development for the original Xbox, that could have been based on a korean film / comic with the same name. There are not many info on its development, but an early beta version / prototype of the game was somehow found on an old Xbox Debug Kit by Museman and it was shared online thanks to the Assembler Games Forum. The menu, HUD and some of the character’s moves are really similar to Ninja Gaiden, but it’s hard to say if it has any connection with Tecmo’s game.
Thanks a lot to MegaMoto85 for the video!

The main character is called Cloud so that’s definitely based on the Storm Riders manga/film. It should also be noted that it’s a Hong Kong/Chinese Manga/Film and not Korean.
