Wow. This game was so hard, it explicitly said "Hard to beat!!" on the box! And it was an N.E.S. game, so that was saying a lot without the written warning! Dang.
I love retro games and their sound tracks I really do......but I mean, I'm still glad they improved as far as graphics and interactive properties are concerned. Why does nostalgia cause people to hate the present so much. Video games were art then, and they're are now.
Man, I remember this game being so damn badass. It was a cut above the rest with its story too. When characters start sacraficing themselves, so you could put an end to the villains of the game, you start to get that sense you're alone in this, even if the gameplay didn't change one bit. It was the first time I ever felt anything for the characters I was playing.
The intro cinematic set the tone for the whole thing too. :) (Which is where this song plays.)
this game has a very awesome intro. yeah the graphic of the ps3 and the 360 of many games are better, but the epic content of nes games such as this can never be replaced.
considering the probably only had about 12 notes or something on computers back in those days, this is a really good effort and deserves a place in the list I think
@TheRealVordox Irene Lew. Ryu's wife. And, considering how the NES Trilogy takes place AFTER the current series...that tells you something about any possible love interests in the current series.
If you're american dont get offended but, I think alot of videogame series are being dumbed down because of americans most developers seem to think they just wanna kill everything, they dont care about the games feel or the soul as you say...MGS4 fails so bad doesent have that MGS feel to it imo...just an example what wanting to make it even more popular among americans can do to a game.
Yeah it literally does not feel like an mgs game, the bosses are fail, it has a bad story, the jumping into different countries is not well done. Its overall a good game but a bad MGS game imo.
Yeah it just does not feel like MGS, Ive noticed with everything thats being made next gen the soul of the game suffers because they keep dumbing the games down like mad. this seems to happen to everything now MGS4, FF XIII etc etc
@ShiroKreuz That's why I'm glad games like Fire Emblem are on the rise. Radiant Dawn was SPECTACULAR. The difficulty made you question your manliness as a gamer (ESPECIALLY onn Hard), the story was great, the gameplay, etc., etc. Punch-Out!!'s great too, and Super Meat Boy is just pure EPIC. SPIRITBREAKING. WIN.
@FloMonKish well i think its less that they care its that they try too hard, like these games are so epic, but see all this new shit like sucker punch which just came out, it is supposed to be so 'epic' but they try too hard, these games just nailed it, spot fucking on.
I feel sorry for you. If you think graphics are all that make a game. It's true fps's couldn't have been transfered that well on the nes but that has nothing to do with quality of games on either system. How old are you 14?
@Luigi84289 a design philosophy that makes it more than an incessant trial-and-error endurance contest and whittles away all of the difficulties other than the increase of personal skill.... THAT makes a better game.
The dogmatic nostalgia surrounding the NES Ninja Gaiden installments only cheapens their legacy, and prevents us from appreciating the quality of what is still being made.
@MegatronYES mmm.. we can enjoy new games but its also true that games today are so dumbed down that its almost an insult . yes ninja gayden sigma/black etc are hard but but didnt care about the epic music/cutscnes and drama... again . games today aim to larger audiences giving away development and "uniqueness". edit: sorry for my english :P
@MegatronYES The only game to catch my attention these days is the new Mortal Kombat. Purer games are better experience on the whole because they deliver what they are designed to and don't distract you with a plethora of visuals. You either get good at the game or you don't beat it. There is not much trial and error in ninja gaiden it's about speed and precision. I got to 4-2 my first time playing the original before I died. You just have to keep moving. Castlevania = more t & e.
