Ninja gaiden 1 is hard? I don't buy it and like usual I'll show you how it's done. / discord • Ninja Gaiden (NES) All... Used footage for cutscenes from here(I was lazy)
Thanks! That’s awesome to hear. I actually enjoy ucanbeatvideogames style. As someone who wasn’t around in the era of these games, the informational part of his videos are always fascinating and I do take some inspiration for adding my boss and power ups texts. I’ll keep doing my best!
@@lonewolfgames7779 it's actually a song in my gym Playlist. If you are failing in any set just put stage 4-2 music you will get a temporary steroid boost
Honestly I just blaze through the game so I never see them haha but for the time that was definitely an experience and every time you beat a level you also get to see the story progress
Yes modern Nintendo power haha. I hope it’s not too much but I like to add a bit in there than your typical guid. I appreciate the comment thanks so much
Yeah once you know how to run every stage it becomes trivial of course mistakes still happen but I’m at the point I know what candles to hit and not hit how much ninpo I need more little things like that
This is an extremely humbling video, knowing I can't usually make it past Act II without giving up. Very nicely put together upload, pretty entertaining too, thanks for the tips in case I finally decide to beat Ninja Gaiden once and for all!
I remember that one Nintendo Power game counselor who beat Ninja Gaiden blind-folded. As a kid I couldn't comprehend how that was possible, but with an experienced eye I see it now. There's no randomization. If you give it the same inputs, you'll get the same outcome every playthrough. Instead of visual cues, he used audio and timing cues.
That is absolutely insane. If I had all the time in the world I’d try to beat this game blindfolded too haha. The only element of rng could be when the hammer bros throw their weapon(either earlier or later than you want) but yes I spent a long time playing and researching and can beat this game comfortably
As a child in the late 80s/early 90s, that trilogy was torture! You've made me wanna give them all another try. If I can complete the newer versions on the Master Ninja difficulty, these should be no sweat compared to my 9 year old self playing them🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the great work!!
I think the point is that people talk about these games like they are impossible::::but obviously they aren’t. People speedrun them in like 8 minutes. I think learning how to route and treat these games with less difficulty hype is dope af
The hardest part of this game is having to restart from 6-1 when you die at the boss, because fatigue sets in and you start messing up in areas you didn't mess up in before, lol. Great video!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. Yeah I remember getting sent back because I didn’t know how to kill jaquio but once I practiced rarely die on the bosses
Maybe I’m not hehe. I guess I am the saying I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. Definitely me with some of these games just love them that much
@@Imgoodurbadd The next Ninja Gaiden video should be about Ninja Gaiden 3 : The Ancient Ship of Doom because the story of the third game takes place in between the stories of first and second games of the trilogy . So the timeline goes like this : Ninja Gaiden Shadow (Game Boy) , Ninja Gaiden 1 , Ninja Gaiden 3 : The Ancient Ship of Doom , Ninja Gaiden 2 : The Dark Sword of Chaos .
@@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther- Ah damn I'm sorry that would've been a great idea but I have a lot of the 2nd game covered already so I cant. Figured most people would go in this order. Thank you for the idea I appreciate it
I can't believe I've been seeing your content evolve so quickly, literally all these videos within a month of each other. You are damn talented and hilarious, I'm actually super thrilled whenever a new video drops. Definitely keep it up!
Thank you so much for the kind words. It really means a lot and motivates me more to keep this going. Even with the irl time constraints I have to deal with, I don’t wanna let you down!
Great video, man! Also wanted to say that your Castlevania 1 video was a genuine great help when I decided to replay it. I really underestimated how op the holy water was in the past
That’s awesome to hear I helped someone! Glad you enjoyed and yes holy water as you see is overpowered(somehow the 3rd game made it more broken though)
Yeah brings the question if the developers intended for spin slash to be that broken. Maybe if it cost more then 5 ninpo could’ve fixed it maybe but you can still get a lot of ninpo in every level
I love how every normal enemy in this game dies in one hit, so you’re constantly encouraged to just keep running forward, timing your kills and avoiding attacks in an almost rhythmic way.
yeah it's pretty liberating to run through the game especially when usually holding the spin slash and knowing what candles hold weapons and ninpo. I enjoy learning the game.
When jumping across the pits where flying enemies hit you, if you turn backwards in the air, even if you get hit you keep going in the correct direction.
@@Imgoodurbadd After Vanessa Carlton walks 1000 miles, but that won't happen soon, since she's riding a piano on the back of a truck in an eternal hellish time loop.
Awesome video again. Was interesting to see your way to beat the last boss. I think I only got to the second stage and maybe the third once but it was frustrating being sent back to 6-1. I used to just speed run to the boss, die once or twice and then rage quit lol
I appreciate the compliment! Yeah I used to get to jaquio then booted back to 6-1 but I guess Ryu’s unbreakable determination kicked in cause I didn’t stop until I beat that asshole. As for demon statue, slash cancelling isn’t necessary just cool tech just keep your eye on the shrimp and time your stabs. Do you find statue harder than jaquio? That’s a first for me haha
@@Imgoodurbadd it’s been a while. Your videos make me wanna dust off the old nes and blow into the carts and slap em in. From what I recall it was just going into the boss fight without full health and then dying before I could figure out patterns. But that’s the thing with some retro games is usually if you cheese it right away (holy water, spin slash, certain items in mega man), you succeed.
@@squishyx2250 really makes me happy to hear my video gave you that feeling. I mean hey developers put these things in it’s up to us to find ways to use them. Older games you gotta work with what you’re given cause it isn’t much. One day I’d love to stream and do it in real time but we’ll see when I can do that
Interesting how Bloody Malth (jacked too in his case) and Ryu's father are so much bigger than him. They looked like normal size ninja dudes in the opening cutscene. Either Ryu skipped classes in Elementary school to save the world, or his papa is like 9 feet tall. Love me some silly video game logic. Lol. Awesome video and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! I do my best and that is something I never wondered before. Although in ninja gaiden 2 nes he is a regular size enemy not insanely tall
Well the only way I can play this in my country now is if I emulate it. And idk sometimes it feels like emulators have little button lag. Crazy video though now I found a channel that can take me back to my childhood and show me what I could have done to beat the game
@@UzairKhan-od8hq that’s incredible my video did that for you. I play on emulator as well I don’t really suffer button delay but idk the ins and outs of the technical stuff
Making easy games look easy. Thanks for exposing how easy this game is, most of these old school games were like a memory game, specially with 2d sidescrollers where shit gets real is with STGs and some racing games because memorization alone isn't enough, you gotta execute too
Yeah I also just really enjoy this game and wanna show it off. But you can memorize everything down to the tee only real rng is maybe hammerbro throwing and the demon statue fireball rng. Thanks for the comment
Ninja Gaiden NES and Arcade series is the reason why I owned Sigma 2+ on Vita in 2016 but suddenly didn't get Sigma 1+ because Mom was very strict on videogame.
@@ImgoodurbaddSigma 1 is pretty good, Sigma 2 is vastly inferior to the original version of Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox, I'd say Sigma 1 is a decent place to start and that the 3D Ninja Gaiden games as a whole are some of the best 3D action games out there
Thank you for your input. Maybe someday I’ll get around to it but I’ve sunk so many hours into the og trilogy. Id definitely prefer platforming and linearity
@@Imgoodurbadd 3D Ninja Gaiden does have really cool movement and some fun platforming but it's still a beat em up at the end of the day so if you do end up playing it, I think you should approach like it's a new series as opposed to something that's trying to translate the fundamentals of NES or Arcade Ninja Gaiden gameplay into 3D
Very interesting. I definitely want to try beat ‘em ups like double dragon and I’m not sure if Battletoads double dragon counts but I beat that. I’ve seen some gameplay of the ninja gaiden 3d games but they didn’t interest me or I didn’t look into how to play them. But you’ve and a couple others definitely peaked my interest I thank you. Could be a fun stream or video topic
It's kinda wild just how bad the AVGN really is at games only to realize Mike was the one doing most of the gameplay footage. I remember watching the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde video only to get the game and beat it in literally two days with both endings. It was really not that difficult of a game. I swear that whole debacle was just to create a boogeyman for the NES library. I never once encountered the glitch where you clip through the floor in the AVGN video. Mike destroyed Ninja Gaiden with no deaths as well a while ago. Mike is pretty good.
Ehh I don’t really wanna read too much into it. At the end of the day he made awesome videos and he is the reason I’m even into retro stuff. I just like to use his clips cause I think it’s funny but yeah Mike’s definitely a good player. I watch his streams from time to time James not as much anymore sadly
@@Imgoodurbadd Well as someone who played a lot of these games for the better part of 25 years you're certainly a lot better than me lol. I'm stealing that spin jump trick with the bosses. I'm good at Castlevania but my Ninja Gaiden game needs a serious overhaul.
Thanks for the compliment I appreciate it. Go for it. Spin slash is disgusting if you master keeping it through the whole game knowing which candles to hit and not hit, manage nimpo, there’s a little more to it then just keep spin slash xd. The real test is beating jaquio without it(unless you wanna repeat act 6)
This game is only famous for being hard but it's just a banger overall, exhilarating when you figure rooms out and can just speed through them. I might like it more than castlevania
Liking it more than castlevania?! Now you’re going too far xd. I’m just kidding yeah ninja gaiden games are so fun when you know how to run through it. You really feel like a ninja
Ngl my nephew likes to clown on me in Smash Ultimate but i drug his ass back to Ninja Gaiden where I grew up and he couldn't even beat the first stage. He was seethin hard at me clearin it with no damage. Games pretty tight honestly. The only real hard parts are the fecking birds and the weird jumps you gotta make on the cliff level that're almost pixel perfect it feels like
yeah the damn birds. It's a different game if you master holding onto spin slash and know what candles not to hit, but Jaquio is the true test since you lose your weapon
Ninja Gaiden 2 was one of my favourite games on the nes. I never played the first one until we got the ninja gaiden trilogy on the snes but I was put off by the janky climbing in the first one and the snes versions kind of sucked in general. I didn't like the music as much and the controls felt off so I didn't really play the snes versions very much. I finally did a playthrough of the first one a couple of years ago and it wasn't as hard as I was expecting. The final areas are a bit of a slog and enemy placements are pretty cheap a lot of the time but with some practice it's not too bad. Ninja Gaiden's pretty fair with its unlimited continues. It means you actually get a chance to practice levels. I find games like the nes TMNT game worse because you end up replaying the game over and over again for every new level you reach. Or until you get good and have the game memorized.
Yeah TMNT I still have to try out never got around to it. As for the snes version of these games yeah the moment I heard music I said nope stuck to the nes trilogy
@@Imgoodurbadd I find the gameplay fun in TMNT but it is legit hard. Not really in the same way as Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania. It more just slowly drags you down bit by bit. Health items are scarce, 2 of the turtles are somewhat useless and the controls just feel kind of janky. It also still has all the usual Konami nes game cheapness. I had it on the nes when I was a kid I don't think I ever got past the third level back then. I've gotten farther since but I still haven't sat down and played through the whole thing.
@Dug88 I definitely want to give a shot. Something with castlevania ninja gaiden is insanely fun for me. Ninja gaiden definitely the fast pace castlevania it’s more calculated and the amount of different ways you can complete the 3rd has kept me coming back time after time. Thank you for sharing your insight
@@Imgoodurbadd If you like the speed of the Ninja Gaiden games I'd also recommend checking out the Megaman X trilogy on the snes if you haven't played them. It's not as hard as those nes games but the movement and gameplay is fast and the wall jumping reminds me of a faster version of Ninja Gaiden's. For me anyway, I like those games for the same reasons I like the Ninja Gaiden games. Megaman X2 even has a wind gimmick like Ninja Gaiden 2's in one of it's stages.
I got to the final boss in 1 and 2 but never beat them. I found Ninja Gaiden much harder than Castlevania 3 and Zelda 2 since the game is much faster in general. You can strategize a lot more in those but in Ninja Gaiden you need that plus fast reflexes.
@@Imgoodurbadd dude, you're actually really good. It's like watching someone doing a speedrun, but with easily learnable and replicable strategies. I'll try to beat the game without save states using your guide. Cheers!
I definitely wanna eventually stream live but i’m very strapped for time in the moment. That is definitely goal while being entertaining and I feel my strategies aren’t insanely difficult to do but requires practice. Something I didn’t cover in the video you also need an idea of what candles to hit for ninpo and when not to hit to get another subweapon. (Let me know if you do beat it!)
What parts of the game are glitchy? You do need to know how to play the game that is true but i never clipped through the ground or something. Only glitch is sometimes when climbing ladders you just die
yo no way! The ninja Gaiden world record holder watched my video? Now that's an honor. When are you going to break Ninja Gaiden 2's record I cant wait for that
Hi glad you found this enjoyable. Unfortunately I have not had the chance to tackle silver surfer. I definitely want to but that will be something not in the immediate future due to time constraints
I beat Castlevania 1 for the first time the other day following your advice. I'd say the skeletons in that game are a worse version of the priests throwing crosses in this game.
@@Imgoodurbadd Eh, there are some places the skeletons could really fuck you up if you're caught off guard and don't have the axe, but yeah instant death is worse. I beat NG a few more times though, most recently a couple months ago after beating Sigma 1 and 2.
Yes the developers hate this one trick. With spin slash though I’m unsure if they intended for that or it’s a glitch but either way have some fun with spin slash!
Unfortunately I have not had the chance to tackle that game and I can’t promise in the immediate future I can do. Hopefully when I get free time I can cover that game definitely heard some things about it
Yes I definitely beat ninja gaiden many times. From time to time I’ll have a bad day but still manage to get through but the important part is I always have a fun time

You made this look easy. It took me forever to beat as a kid.
I beat the entire trilogy as a kid. But you made it look easy as hell.

This is an extremely humbling video, knowing I can't usually make it past Act II without giving up. Very nicely put together upload, pretty entertaining too, thanks for the tips in case I finally decide to beat Ninja Gaiden once and for all!
I remember that one Nintendo Power game counselor who beat Ninja Gaiden blind-folded. As a kid I couldn't comprehend how that was possible, but with an experienced eye I see it now. There's no randomization. If you give it the same inputs, you'll get the same outcome every playthrough. Instead of visual cues, he used audio and timing cues.
That is absolutely insane. If I had all the time in the world I’d try to beat this game blindfolded too haha.

Yes it does. Truly a masterpiece and it really feels you can’t fail when that shit is blasting
Can we talk about how Irene subdued Ryu with a .22 pistol
Yeah that definitely is never brought up. Funny
for people who hated respawning enemies, there's rom hack to fix this
Yeah but personally I’d rather play original versions of things
Arcus calls the ninja star strategy in Act 2 the "Swag Star".
Yes swag star. Love Arcus
The Ninja Gaiden anime is hard to find.
We playing sea of thieves in this one
If we talks about Damage you receive from enemies are coincidential to title itself as NG1 = 1dmg, NG2 = 2dmg and NG3 = you'll get 3dmg.
Ninja Gaiden math
This game is only famous for being hard but it's just a banger overall, exhilarating when you figure rooms out and can just speed through them. I might like it more than castlevania
Liking it more than castlevania?! Now you’re going too far xd. I’m just kidding yeah ninja gaiden games are so fun when you know how to run through it. You really feel like a ninja
True - i have never beaten Super Mario Bros 1 without warps.
Ngl my nephew likes to clown on me in Smash Ultimate but i drug his ass back to Ninja Gaiden where I grew up and he couldn't even beat the first stage. He was seethin hard at me clearin it with no damage. Games pretty tight honestly. The only real hard parts are the fecking birds and the weird jumps you gotta make on the cliff level that're almost pixel perfect it feels like
yeah the damn birds. It's a different game if you master holding onto spin slash and know what candles not to hit, but Jaquio is the true test since you lose your weapon
Someone hit him with Holy Diver
Maybe someday
Ninja Gaiden 2 was one of my favourite games on the nes. I never played the first one until we got the ninja gaiden trilogy on the snes but I was put off by the janky climbing in the first one and the snes versions kind of sucked in general. I didn't like the music as much and the controls felt off so I didn't really play the snes versions very much. I finally did a playthrough of the first one a couple of years ago and it wasn't as hard as I was expecting. The final areas are a bit of a slog and enemy placements are pretty cheap a lot of the time but with some practice it's not too bad. Ninja Gaiden's pretty fair with its unlimited continues. It means you actually get a chance to practice levels. I find games like the nes TMNT game worse because you end up replaying the game over and over again for every new level you reach. Or until you get good and have the game memorized.
Yeah TMNT I still have to try out never got around to it. As for the snes version of these games yeah the moment I heard music I said nope stuck to the nes trilogy
@@Imgoodurbadd I find the gameplay fun in TMNT but it is legit hard. Not really in the same way as Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania. It more just slowly drags you down bit by bit. Health items are scarce, 2 of the turtles are somewhat useless and the controls just feel kind of janky. It also still has all the usual Konami nes game cheapness. I had it on the nes when I was a kid I don't think I ever got past the third level back then. I've gotten farther since but I still haven't sat down and played through the whole thing.
@Dug88 I definitely want to give a shot. Something with castlevania ninja gaiden is insanely fun for me. Ninja gaiden definitely the fast pace castlevania it’s more calculated and the amount of different ways you can complete the 3rd has kept me coming back time after time. Thank you for sharing your insight
@@Imgoodurbadd If you like the speed of the Ninja Gaiden games I'd also recommend checking out the Megaman X trilogy on the snes if you haven't played them. It's not as hard as those nes games but the movement and gameplay is fast and the wall jumping reminds me of a faster version of Ninja Gaiden's. For me anyway, I like those games for the same reasons I like the Ninja Gaiden games. Megaman X2 even has a wind gimmick like Ninja Gaiden 2's in one of it's stages.
I got to the final boss in 1 and 2 but never beat them. I found Ninja Gaiden much harder than Castlevania 3 and Zelda 2 since the game is much faster in general. You can strategize a lot more in those but in Ninja Gaiden you need that plus fast reflexes.
Definitely agree ninja gaiden you gotta be really prepared for what’s coming up and if you’re going fast it is difficult to recover at times
Alright mate nightmare on elmstreet time lets go
Unfortunately that is a game I have not tried out so that's gonna be a while
The easiest? We're just gonna forget Kirby Adventure is a thing?
Yes
You gotta do Battletoads someday lmao
Funny I do have a no continue run on the channel but I plan sometime to revamp it in this style. I’m excited when I get the chance to work on it!
Hey have you played Ninja Gaiden (2004)? Xbox, etc.
OH YES I was SO hoping that it was going to be THIS game! Now I'll watch the video
I hope you enjoy! Looks like I read your mind haha
@@Imgoodurbadd dude, you're actually really good. It's like watching someone doing a speedrun, but with easily learnable and replicable strategies. I'll try to beat the game without save states using your guide. Cheers!
I definitely wanna eventually stream live but i’m very strapped for time in the moment. That is definitely goal while being entertaining and I feel my strategies aren’t insanely difficult to do but requires practice. Something I didn’t cover in the video you also need an idea of what candles to hit for ninpo and when not to hit to get another subweapon. (Let me know if you do beat it!)
Genuinely one of the most cringe videos I've seen on the net. The amount of dead memes in this is staggering.
Hm, quite kino indeed.
I might be a bit slow could you elaborate?
🧐 excellent work old chap
Always good.
I’m glad you think so thank you so much
I beat this the old fashioned way when I was 10
Did you have Nintendo power to help haha
@@Imgoodurbadd Nope, we didn't have internet back then either :-)
Can’t even imagine. Would’ve been cool to experience the game like that but without the internet might’ve never given retro a shot.
Next video after earthworm Jim. Life's not hard you're just bad.
Ninja gaiden isn't hard, it is glitchy and unplayable. You need patient and deep knowledge of the layout to beat it.
What parts of the game are glitchy? You do need to know how to play the game that is true but i never clipped through the ground or something. Only glitch is sometimes when climbing ladders you just die
Try something hard like the little mermaid next time noob
Funny shit, sub earned
Thank you for the sub! I’m glad you found it funny
Ayyy new content
Of course. I better see you here again soon
Well that was fun 😂
yo no way! The ninja Gaiden world record holder watched my video? Now that's an honor. When are you going to break Ninja Gaiden 2's record I cant wait for that
7:52 is this Kratos?
Could well be. I didn’t even notice haha
Another banger!! can you do silver surfer NES next?
He's not THAT good
Hi glad you found this enjoyable. Unfortunately I have not had the chance to tackle silver surfer. I definitely want to but that will be something not in the immediate future due to time constraints
Not yet but I’ll prove it whenever I can take on silver surfer
THEIR NAME IS IMGOODURBAD MY GOAT WILL DO IT
you got this
y’ever give alien soldier a whirl
No is that similar to contra?
not entirely but it definitely has elements reminiscent of contra, since alien soldier’s director actually worked on contra hard corps
I’ll have to check that out someday. Thank you for the recommendation
you should try shatterhand and kick master for the same system, both fun and easy games
I beat Castlevania 1 for the first time the other day following your advice. I'd say the skeletons in that game are a worse version of the priests throwing crosses in this game.
That is great to hear! I would still say the priests are worse as the skeleton bones can’t even knock you off
@@Imgoodurbadd Eh, there are some places the skeletons could really fuck you up if you're caught off guard and don't have the axe, but yeah instant death is worse. I beat NG a few more times though, most recently a couple months ago after beating Sigma 1 and 2.
So much for "NES-hard" .
More like NES-mild with the broken/OP tools at our disposal.
Yes the developers hate this one trick. With spin slash though I’m unsure if they intended for that or it’s a glitch but either way have some fun with spin slash!
Okay but will it prevent my parents divorce?
Yes
ytpooper reviews nice
liked subbed scrubbed dubbed and wubbed
Let’s go!
nope
Hm
yes
Now do the adventures of batman and robin for sega genesis.
Haven’t played unfortunately could be something down the line
Do the Adventure of Bayou Billy.
Unfortunately I have not had the chance to tackle that game and I can’t promise in the immediate future I can do. Hopefully when I get free time I can cover that game definitely heard some things about it
Unless you only do nes games try super monkey ball 1 EX Mode on the GameCube that’s a new level of hard
Yeah that’s definitely a live stream type thing and even then I have no interest in super monkey ball but early to tell
"so easy"
It’s just that easy
w a l t e r
He had one job. One job
now do
the 3d games
on Master Ninja
Haven’t gotten a chance to try them out. Not gonna have the time too for a good while
@@Imgoodurbadd smh you missing out on enlightenment
Yes, very easy for an ultra master at the game, right.
Ultra master W
... No way it was that easy...
Why yes it is xd
ImGoodUrBad 😢
Yeah it’s ok don’t take the name too literal haha I am good though
have you played the master system version of ninja gaiden too?
No I have not. Is it just updated graphics? I stick to the NES trilogy(especially with the SNES version’s music)
@@Imgoodurbadd aside from the graphics, it's a different game with it's own stages and music, you should check it out sometime
The ego is annoying
I agree
you must practique a lot for get this level, I won that game using the whip weapon whe I find that try to never change that weapon
Yes I definitely beat ninja gaiden many times. From time to time I’ll have a bad day but still manage to get through but the important part is I always have a fun time
Is waluigi a rizzler or a jonkler 😼?
Neither he’s a sigma
This video could have been better if you stuck to only ten year old memes or older. The new memes have gone downhill. The M-bison one was well timed.
I just do what I find funny. Sorry
12:39🤣
Yeah idk what I was cooking thinking jaquio moves like pong
