    little trick - you can get the extra life at 31:35 over and over again to get max 9 lives before last stage. get the extra life then go back through door to your left and re-enter and life is back.

    • @trutwijd
      @trutwijd 8 років тому +12

      yeah I think you run out of time and have to do the stage at least twice to get lives up to 9, but it was worth it cuz that last stage is so damn hard. I wrote this one to Nintendo Power back in the day - they never published it. #stillbitter. :)
      One of my favorite games as a kid, thanks for the memories, love the music in this one.

Then i played it many years later and a few years ago i beated it on my Famicom, now i think its the best of the trilogy, the enemies respawn is gone and overall is a refined and fair game with a good stage design, and the music is awesone!

  • @nvslknm

    The reason why III was harder for North America at least in part had to be because of Ninja Gaiden's difficulty reputation. The reputation was well known at the time it came out. I know it was a major selling point for me. II helped sell me on the box by having "hard to beat" on the lower right hand corner... As if I needed any extra selling on playing that game. Looved the series. The first game was one of the games where I was learning how to play NES so yeah I had myself thrown in the deep end making the game way tougher than it even was. I use to take the cartridge out of the NES, look at it and stare at it in admiring disbelief at how hard it was. In the end though, I ended up beating that game over 30 times. Great skill sharpener/confidence booster.

    Speed Runners use the Fire Wheels to get through the 7th level quick enough for a deathless run. You can beat the time if you go through the entire level using fire wheels since most obstacles that slow you down such as laser beams and spikes won't affect you.

    This is by far one of the hardest games that I have ever played and beaten. The levels late in this game are a certifiable nightmare. I think that part 2 was the best in the NES series of games though. The trilogy remake on the SNES (even though it was horrible IMO) did make an easier version of part 3 where the enemies don't kill you so quickly.

    I enjoyed that. Ive played this game enough times to know what I saw was good gaming to beat that game. I somehow beat Battletoads without cheating (emulators and save states), but that was because I had no choice but to play the game over and over and over to learn its patterns. You definitely did that in this game. Towards the end it took more prodding to get you to play right, but you did and finished this bastard.
    I may give this one a good go again, no cheating.

    • @masterlee1988
      @masterlee1988 6 років тому

      The Famicom version is the 1st version but pretty much main and better version, for some reason they increased the damage on enemies, removed passwords, added limited continues and change/added enemy/item placement as well with having a strict time limit on the last stage. From what I know they wanted to make it harder since it's popular for games in the US to be harder than Japanese versions.

    most the deaths were due to lack of using power ups.
    instead of jumping into a enemy use the power up as you jump into the enemy. S/N lack of power up usage kinda irk'd me...

    Which NES Ninja Gaiden is the hardest?

    • @Hayao

      NG speedrunner here. I'd say 2 is the hardest, brutal enemy layouts, brutal environmental hazards, and your sword's hitbox is a lot weaker.

      I think it's different for many people. I always found this one the easiest but mainly because my two best friends when I was a kid could beat 1 and 2 and I struggled with them. So I bought this one when they weren't as interested in the series anymore and I played this fucker over and over wanting to have one of the NG games that I was better at than them. Hey, we didn't have cell phones back then....

      I always thought 3 was the hardest, only because of the limited continues. If I wasn't biased from playing through part 1 so damn many times, I would say that it's easily the most brutal and frustrating.

      If they all had 6 limited continues I'd the second part. The three end bosses are harder and you don't get an energy refill between them as in the original.

    As I watched this, I said to myself, "I wonder why the video is so long. He's progressing quickly.." Then the last level answered my question.

    Ninja Gaiden... I haven't heard that name in ages.
