Ninja Gaiden ( Turbo Grafx 16) Playthrough Nintendo Complete
A playthrough of Hudson s 1992 actionplatformer for the NEC PC Engine, Ninja Ryukenden. Tecmo s 1988 Ninja Gaiden (also known as Ninja Ryukenden in Japan, Shadow Warriors in PAL territories) was one of the NES s seminal classics, and it s a game that s still remembered and sometimes with a barelycontained sense of by most anyone that played it when it was still fresh. It marked a huge departure from the 1988 arcade release of the same name, and it ended up a much better game because of it. Instead of playing itself off as an uberviolent Double Dragon clone, the NES version of Ninja Gaiden was a fluid, fastpaced 2D platformer with a multitude of special weapons, brilliantly realized story cutscenes, and a level of difficulty that would make the best players fling controllers across the room. It was everything you could want from a big budget action game of the era, and beating it really became a point of pride for players, much like Batman and Battletoads
