    If you didn't grow up in the eighties you wouldn't understand what this means to use old school NG fans. I remember just letting the intro play over and over as me and my brother got ready for school. Such fond memories.

    Definitely. I was one of those who knew how big of a deal it was that Ninja Gaiden was making a comeback in 2004 on the original Xbox. I grew up playing the original trilogy on the NES so it stood as one of the 3 most anticipated games I've ever looked forward to in my 30+ years of gaming

    Hard disagree. On the vision part anyway. No disrespect to the developers who worked on this, it looks great, but it's a near exact clone of a game from the 80s that truly *was* visionary. What everyone actually needs is new developers who can create brand new visionary ideas to make new experiences. Regurgitating a legendary game nearly level for level, cutscene for cutscene, except with better visuals isn't vision. Not to say there isn't a place for things like this, if course there is! Remasters/remakes are coming out left and right. Brand new IP and gameplay is getting more and more rare these days though as publishers don't want to gamble on anything new, rather than take in guaranteed cash on an existing property or idea.

    this is an absolute perfection of a remastered. Tons of layers and features added without taking away ANY feels of the original. Even the magic of the old 8-bit soundtrack are kept intact, no radical changes like some of the new remixes, which shows the thoughtful choice the creator made as a fan. I dreamt of seeing old Nes games remastered just like this, and this one absolutely delivered it.

    many pros in the game but some of the cons are: 1] The very very easy enemies (to improve: add block and parry ... etc.) 2] give Ryu the ability to Slide under the thrown weapons, that will look cool and add to the dynamics. 3] change the dusty smoky effect for the double jump because it can be mistaken for something that smells bad. I like this game that's a fantastic job.

I feel like the updated graphics made the levels more understandable as to where Hyabusa was geographically. Like, I never knew there was a snow level, I thought that was clouds lol. I always got the chills when I seen Jaquio and it was cool to see the laughing scene in motion. When I was a kid, due to the darkness and color change on Jaquio, I thought the two angles of him were completely different people. You never get a shot of everyone in the room to see where they are standing and all that.

    Definitely an impressive project for sure. Love that this keeps the spirit of the original Ninja Gaiden in tact, but also adds its own touches. The levels not being cast-iron copies of the originals is a good thing, I noticed my favorite, Stage 4-2, is extended. The dialogue between LEOs in Stage 1 is also a wonderful touch. You did an incredible job, this needs to be completed and ported to all modern platforms with a physical release. I would pay good money for this in a heartbeat. I am going to suggest updating the Android version though, I paid for it and sadly it seems my 8bitDo controller wasn't officially supported. I could only move the character with the analog stick and I had to tap the screen to perform any actions.

    Outstanding remake! This is that we all imagined during playing NES Ninga Gaiden in childhood. Awesome work with background, animations of regular enemies and great OST remixes (seriously, you must add OST on channel with personal playlist). Sad what you don't beat game to the end in video, but this is pretty good stimul did it himself in Steam.
