Like the two other Ninja Gaiden games this one is just as hard, constant enemies coming at you at all directions and this game is one of those were you kill an enemy and it comes back when you move to far to the left or right of the screen. Learn the patterns or use Game Genie with codes, I love the game because it is so hard and I'm into this series. I recommend this series of Ninja Gaiden games to all gamers and collectors into the series🤘😆🤘

I have very fond memories of Ninja Gaiden. I got it while I was in 6th grade and, since I didn't have many games at the time, I played the crap out of it. Everything about Ninja Gaiden made it an enjoyable experience from the smooth gameplay to the well-scripted cut scenes. Back when I first saw screen shots of Ninja Gaiden in a game magazine, I thought the graphics look messy. It wasn't until I actually played it, I saw for myself that the graphics are quite good. They are very detailed, which explains why a small and grainy screenshot in a magazine wouldn't do them justice. I thought the music was some of the best on the NES. It had a techno-rock beat to it, which is appropriate since Ninja Gaiden came out in 1989, but also set the pace for this fast paced game. Of all the Ninja Gaidens on the NES, I thought the control in the this one was the best. It was more discreet and made hitting enemies and jumping from platform to platform more accurate compared to the later games. Ninja Gaiden is infamous for its unforgiving difficulty. The game goes from a tolerable challenge for most of the game to blood-boiling rage frustration on the last level. I spent a vast majority of my time playing Ninja Gaiden on the last level. This will make casual players not stick with it and only the most devoted players will percerver. I was quite proud of myself when I finally beat Ninja Gaiden. It helped me develop my game playing style for later games that proved to be just as difficult. One thing about all Ninja Gaidens ever release is that they require skill to make it through them. It is very satisfying when you finally develop the skill and can play through the game effortlessly.Read full review
Tight controls, unforgettable music, disgusting difficulty. There's a reason that this is the go-to game whenever folks talk about the age of "Nintendo Hard" video games; it's a shining example of the phenomenon. Buy it, get defeated by it, weep, get better, conquer it, and become a better person for your trouble. This game will change your life. (This game will probably not change your life. Regardless, it is very very good.)

A simply excellent game. It possesses wonderful controls for an 8-bit game and pleasing graphics and character design. It follows a swift but not overwhelming pace as you can perfect your jump-slices to dash through levels of varying difficulty. It fortunately allows infinite continues across the six acts; however, if you were to die on the final boss you go back to the beginning of the act (eww, his second for is hard so this can get really annoying). The game has great sound (you'll love the slash of the katana) and well made cutscenes (the ending is one of the most memorable on the NES- an enjoyably politically incorrect womanizing line). Also has vibrant color art on label making it overall worthy to be called one of the greatest NES games made.
Hardest game of all time is still the hardest game of all-time. Be warned: if you get the itch to dust off you NES or find this thing online, or whatever (I'm sure the new systems have it for download and all of that jazz), this is honestly the hardest game I have ever played. And most of my video gaming came when these were the games that flooded the market (or rather, I was most heavily into video games from the NES-N64 period, or maybe just NES & SNES... I played N64 w/ my friends and such). This game is brutal. And I won't even mention the last world/boss(es) that will make you want to throw your controller through whatever you're rigging a NES up through these days. I don't know why I bought this again, honestly. It's just as hard and hellish as it was 20 years ago or so. If you're up for the challenge that current games just don't provide, give this classic a shot. It may make you insane, though.Read full review
I played this game to the end in 1992 just before my first child was born. What great memories come flooding back. Thank you so much - I'm having a blast!

The original, it's a blast. Finding this cartridge is getting increasingly hard to come by for affordable great cartridges, jjgames has you covered. These play immediately out of the box, if not cotton swab and some IPA. This game has always impressed me by its sheer difficulty. Fun every single time, game genie helps so does emulation codes, now the nes collection is getting there.

Ninja Gaiden is considered to be one of the best NES games of all time, and for good reason. Like most of the classic NES games, the gameplay is tough as nails, and you'll have to come back a great many times if you ever plan to beat it. However, what really makes this game stand out aside from the killer gameplay, is that it gave you the most authentic Ninja experience of any game from the 8-bit era. The game is a fast paced hack n' slash romp with some of the most acrobatic gameplay ever to grace an 8-bit system. If you want the fastest, most brutal Ninja action available on the NES, or you just want a darned good action game, you owe to yourself to pick up this game.
Have owned this game for years. had a few of these. downloaded to my pc and Nintendo Wii. Great gaem, challenging and fun Figured to grab this as a gift for a Nephew.

Ninja Gaiden is one of the best action games on the NES. In Ninja Gaiden you control Ryu throughout several difficult levels. Throughout each level you can collect power-ups such as ninja stars and fireballs which help enormously throughout the levels. The levels are all different and are very fun and fast paced. Generally, the bosses are challenging, although some of them are quite easy. The last few levels are blisteringly hard while the first few are not that difficult. I would highly recommend this fast paced action game to any NES owner; a great game, and the best in the series. Pros: - Fast paced action - Power-ups - Fun levels Cons: - Can be very difficult - Enemies re-spawn too quickly
