www.longplays.org Played by: Valis77 One of the hardest ninja gaiden game on the nes. Act 1 1:17 Act 2 4:43 Act 3 8:52 Act 4 14:02 Act 5 18:47 Act 6 25:46 ac7 7 31:50 - Disclaimer: Most videos by World of Longplays use SaveStates!
I've now watched all NES Ninja Gaiden's back to back, and I've discovered Ryu's four favorite phrases: "Irene!" "What in the..." "What the..." "What?!"
The final 2 bosses are a complete PAIN. To make things worse when you die you have to zap back 2-3 stages and go through the torture all over again just to get to those 2 nearly invincible nastiest, I find that Ryu's Father is even harder than the final boss.
Famicom version is the one I grew up with. I also play NES version recently, but something strange: Famicom version is very fair challenging: - Unlimited continues - Password with 4 characters - Easier level design - Go back to the last block (stage 1-1[insert alphabet here]), but not restart the boss fight when you died. NES version is freaking hard: - 5 continues (not no continue according to AVGN) - No password - Harder level design - Go back to the block A when you died, even when you lost the boss fight. How nostalgic. This is my one of favorite NES/Famicom game :3
Famicom version isn't "fair", it's ridiculously easy. I beat it without continues on my first attempt ever. It's understandable that they increased the difficulty for the USA release
For the 3rd Ninja Gaiden game AVGN meant they're was not unlimited continues in the game hence the 5 continues in the game tecmo had no business messing with that they should kept the unlimited continues for this one...
BomberMonkAssassin35 I completely disagree. While the limited continues does make it a lot harder to practice the game, there is really no fun in completing a game like this on multiple continues. Allowing some deaths is what the lives system is for!
Man, does this bring back MEMORIES! I think I first bought this with my birthbay monie back in my mid teens I believe. The memory of eating a Sonic's chili pie, slurping an ice cold Ocean water and so some reason Anne Lennox's song Make me love you more" are tied to this game. Hard as hell, but I did manage to beat it!
Also, the fact that you defeated the final form with one life meter was impressive. Not very nice for the game devs to refuse to even fill up your health in between, but you stuck it out.

I don't understand why so many people dislike this game - I always thought that it was very well-designed, and overall highly enjoyable. Yes, the American version is extremely difficult, but I felt that it was difficult in a way that made me excited, and determined to keep trying.
i used to play this game when when i was in 8th std. It was a very very tough game and it made me crazy for this game.... Ninja gaiden still remain my most favorite game.
The first NG I owned, I think i got it in '91. Never owned parts I or II until the year 2000. My best run through on this game was exactly 30 minutes, and i even continued twice !! Of course, i skipped all the cinema scenes (Yes, I'm that good at it). Bravo on the last incarnation of the boss !
So am I the only one who noticed that the background in 4-1 is upside down? The orange sky is down, the black mountains are higher, and the green treetops are up top. Always drove me nuts to never see anyone ever talk about it.
@fingrid I definitely agree with you about it being a weird story. This was perhaps the most convoluted storyline ever conceived. The game itself was pretty good, but the story was so random and far fetched and didn't even attempt to tie in with the other games. It seemed more like a stand alone game than a follow up. The only real connection it had with the other games was Foster and Irene. Other than that, it could have been named anything else and it probably would have been unknown.
I am a biomedical scientist and once I applied for a job at a remote lab in the mountains, but the rising lava floors (OHSA violation, anyone?) and the GIANT FLYING FIREBALL-SPITTING ROBOT in the central conference room just turned me off...
omg I remember that old lady that transformed in to giant spider and after it the Airplane level!!! Every level was unique love this game sooo much Among the best ones games ever made
I finished this games like a houndred times without energy and sword. I still remember buying this game on a saturday morning(i was 10 years old) and finishing it by noon. I was a bit dissapointed of finishing it too fast.
si hace décadas soy uno de los mejores orgullosamente nicaragüense en este juego reto en vivo un mano a mano a cualquiera pantalla grande el objetivo del programa consiste términarlo en menos tiempo que tu oponente ok para eso fue creado para ver tu agilidades y rapidez jugando las canciones que hacen centímetros a concluirlo y esto lo sabe solo el que lo a jugado comparto este humilde secreto a dios chicos de esa época ninja gaiden
The music and sound become a bit jittery/muffled after the first (and only) death. I love how NG II ends with the sun setting, and III the sun rising....
Ninja Gaiden 2 was my favorite. This one always looked kinda mashed together from previous ones in terms of design or perhaps just not well thought out to me. The music isn't as good either imo.
I just did a playthrough on this not too long ago. I finished it in almost the exact same way. Anyway, this is, without a shadow of a doubt, the second hardest of the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy (NG1 being the hardest and NG2 the easiest). It still a fun game to play despite its difficulties and cheapness in certain areas. Now if I can only get through Act 7 without dying at all... can't keep the Invincible Fire Wheel in Act 7-1 to save my bacon.
@kherubhm I agree with this assessment. Clancy really just felt tacked on for the sake of "What a twist!". The surprise "real mastermind" was kind of a fad in gaming when this game was made, which is likely why Clancy was added.
The Timer doesn't reset when you reach the boss in each stage, that's unfair. Even worse, even the really long levels only give you 250 seconds on the timer. That makes it brutal...
@Valis77 Actually, that comment about the "IFW" was a personal lament to myself since I could never past Act 7 without dying wishing that I could hold on to it. You know, kind of like talking to yourself out loud? XD Though, I completely understand what you are saying. The entertainment value, at the very least, could be cheapened if you over-abuse it. That, or it's a personal player choice.
i dont know how this guy plays it so easily. This was so damn difficuilt. it took me months to come to the last boss. But I never saw the ending since you have to fight the last boss 3 times..which was near impossible. Someone enlighten me... But this game is my best game EVER!!!...so fucking amazing. It has been almost more than 10 years since I played. I cannot even play it now since I dont have the joystick.
The first time was back in 2000 when I was like 5 years old. I made it to up ACT 3 but could not beat it ever since. I haven't played it for 15 years until now.
i had played it 11 years ago. Watching this video was really nostalgic! I had made it to the final boss stage but it was really hard. I never defeated the boss. After watching this video i came to know that there were 3 bosses to be fought with consecutively. Which was almost impossible. I love the music; never forgot them!
cyril marasigan I like 2 the best because that is the one I have played the most. I just recently picked them all up for my Famicom so I am playing through them all. 3 definitely seems easier than 1 and 2. But they are all pretty good.
That changed when Castlevania the Adventure released , the game takes place somewhere between 1550 and 1580 . While Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse takes place in 1476 and Castlevania 1 takes place in 1691 .
This game has amezing paralax scrolling in the 1st part of level 2, wich even the snes and lynx versions both lack, wich is a SHAME. I also like the drums and voices in this version, this game pushes the nes too it's max.
imho the first one was harder because the ankward control and inferior power ups, this one had the super slash, better movement and the power up had more variaty, is hard, no doubt of it, but the control of ryu make it easier to play
I remember when play this game before ten years on my Nintendo and was exploited one trick. Press together select and start button and THE LIVE is filled . I hope you understand me
Like this game....but, I have some issues with it. Why did they change the artwork for the cut scenes?? It looks awful. The jumping feels "floaty" and not tight like NG2. Also Ryu seems a bit slower than he was in the previous game. Why did they switch from a story about demons to one about space aliens? Seems silly. I don' t like the change to the invincible Fire Wheel technique. It was better in NG2 when it appeared from the bottom of the screen. The hanging from the vines feels gimmicky and doesn't add much to the gameplay outside of giving a reason for the "vacuum wave" power up to exist.......
The floaty jump is just different, not bad. Also aliens vs demon's? Arguably they could be the same thing in this setting, what with all the dimensions and whatnot.
1.) Ninja gaiden 3 take place between 1 and 2. 2.)in japanese Ninja gaiden 3 called Ninja ryukenden 3: The ark from the Hades, it means that the enemy is demons not aliens, the hades is basically the hell.
