Yes, and the subject matter is dark. Ninja Gaiden 1's soundtrack also gave me the willies for awhile (World 4-3, for example. This track sounded like a scarier version of the Twilight Zone theme). The opening notes to the scene with Foster also were extremely creepy.

Maybe it was a clean stab that missed all the vital organs. Plus Robert is a soldier in the USA 🇺🇸 Army and likely has been trained extensively as a combat medic and as such rendered the necessary first aid treatment.

Alan Arden You're welcome Alan.Ninja Gaiden 2 was released April 6, 1990 in Japan so on April 6 2015, it will be Ninja Gaiden 2 > 25th anniversary.

when you get to 37:15 on jaquio's part, it isn't really the jaquio talking in the story line. its actually the demon (the final boss from the first ninja gaiden) talking through jaquio. jaquio was already long dead since from the first ninja gaiden. ashtar was merely the pawn. when he says "the spirit released after our battle flowed into my body" it means that the demon possesed jaquio's dead body. that's why the final boss is a full reincarnated demon just to show you.

It does sound valid. And even Demon has possessed Jaquio's body he can read all of his memories (included the memory of Ryu) that's why he said something like this "Fight Ryu Hayabusa, the last of your clan..." It means the Demon who possessed Jaquio knew that Ryu is the last descendent of his clan, and if you notice the Background of the last stage, you will see the small miniatures of demon statues (teal in color) and also the last two forms of Jaquio looks very similar to the statue of demon...

Has anyone noticed that some of the onscreen enemies are smaller versions of the original Ninja Gaiden bosses like Barbarian, Bomberhead, Basaquer and Bloody Malth?

The orange shadow made Ryu OP AF in this game because you could keep two orange shadows without using Ninpo points.

In my country this game was popular in 2007 I loved this game alot. Me my brother, my brother's friend gathered together with tea n used to play this game 😭 this game reminds me of my brother's friend who is more today

Love watching this while I commute or get back home .

I remember playing this when i was 10 yrs old. Murdered this game! Thanks for the upload!

Man, 5 year old me used to get soooo fucking pissed at this game. The frustration was insane lol

I have been playing this game since my childhood, it's my most fav game in the entire NES world; it has very great BGM and the artwork of the cutscenes is really great. It is really cinematic! The instrumental music of this game esp "the parasprinter" gives me goosebumps everytime. That music echoes in my heart... ❤️ Indeed, the game is more than 30 years old, yet it is #1 for me ❤️

The power of the legendary Dragon Sword can not only vanquish evil, but also resurrect the dead.

I remember getting far into this game for the first time, not knowing what will come next. It was so exciting:) I was younger playing off of a family members console back in like 2010-2011 and I still love this game to this day:)❤️

I played this back in the day! No memory card silliness then, just perseverance!

The music is so nostalgic, most of my fav nest games had it, but this one hit different, every stages and the music is on point. I played this game as a 7-11 yrs old, i still can remember all the scene, and drawing ryu hanging in the cliff scouting the altar, i mean back then there is no camera yet, no internet, and i manage to draw it perfectly, it took me a whole day, i means its just a pencil drawing, but i treasure it, but i didnt remember where did i put it😢.

luv this game, my fav game when i was a kid...played it 100 times but still didnt get bored.

Nah, it still has cheap deaths, but the bounce back actually works to your favor 50% of the time in this game given how differently its programmed from the first game.

This is the game with the most incredible intro of the NES trilogy imo.

From the… Tecmo Presents 1990 Ninja Gaiden II To the Ashtar intro cutscene. The music that goes with it. The character introductions. The “one year later” message. The title screen, the stage music, the ability to climb up and down walls, the extra ninjas that help. Yeah, this is the superior Ninja Gaiden.

One of the most rewarding game to beat. I beat it only once. However NG3 was my most beloved game from the series(long ass sword OP). That game i used to beat in around 25 minutes after a warm up round.

my childhood memories love it forever

Oh, so the trick was having your shadow all game long! Man!!! so many frustrations with this game when aI was a lil kid. I remember reaching the final Boss and then and never able to beat him

Love playing this game. Played all 3 on the NES and beaten them. They are not easy games to beat. And beaten the 3 prequels for the PS3.

EXCELENTE JUEGO, UNO DE MIS FAVORITOS. AUNQUE NUNCA LO PUDE TERMINAR, ERA MUY DIFICIL

The second stage music will get you hyped up

I didn't realize I actually owned this game until recently. I tried it out and I had major trouble getting past the second level. lol. The game is really well designed but that hit detection though... I was getting really frustrated that my sword would go through enemies without harming them. Its like you have to hit them at just the right angle. Same with the power tokens. I see my sword hitting it, but its like "swish" nothing. lol. After I finally beat the boss on that level, I quit.... But I have to admit... I'm getting the itch to try again. Now that's a game that calls you to action no matter how many times it hands your ass to you. You played this like a pro. I played it like I was blind folded. lol. Thanks for posting the vid.

This game is a masterpiece.

Pretty impressive finishing this one without dying. I always seem to have to go thru that last level a few times before I can beat all 3 final bosses. While I feel this NG is the easiest, it is by far not an easy game. The ninja shadows make the game a ton easier than 1 or 3. I still feel 3 is by far the most difficult, likely because of the limited continues and the unforgiving starting spots after dying.
