Shadow of the Ninja (NES) - Part 1 of 3

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

the music is still hot...would be cool if the game got a remix face lift for PSN or XBL...

eh ill keep dreamin...Zzzzz lol

[goupixg6]

TMNT and Double Dragon mash-up

[M5ergven]

that game is great i remember beating with my friend with only 1 credit.but that took plenty of tries of course :D i was picking the girl.

[MrNorbert1994]

This game is decent, but the controls are akward.

[chavez4ever111]

this game is one of the best i played along ninja gaiden. i cant forget the Shogun boss i think on the 4th level. lolz

[adie84esp]

i dont finish this game T_T

[minhmeoquay]

gosh, this guy doesnt know how to do moon walk + secret skill in game. I think those people argue me are same like him. Sorry guys, just telling the true

[MrRsimmonsjr]

Damm bringing it back i had this game for the NES. Your right great game for its time.

[alpineracerr]

top notch sleeper nes game, also check out shatterhand, vice project of doom, S.C.A.T

[OttoMotos]

Wow this game is awesome. Never seen it before. It's amazing how much stuff were skipped just because nobody knew about it (no interwebs and only few guys had video games magazines subscription).

[angrymusicalnerd]

i thought this game was a knock-off of ninja gaiden but hey once i seen the gameplay its better than ninja gaiden and i have beaten ninja gaiden man that shit was hard but is this ninja game less harder or the same i want to know, tell me anybody see this comment.

[YuberSepiroth]

by the way this game has super, specialattack

[YuberSepiroth]

i remember i always feel sad when my bigger brother alway choose hayate (the blue one) and i always ended up choosing kaede. we thought on that time that kaede was girl.. and we don't like female characters on that time. Is kaede a boy or a girl?.. for my childhood memory sake...(haha!). ^_^

[2213BBM2213]

This game reminds me of my childhood. I love this game!!!

[rang3r34]

Awesome! This reminds me a little of Shatterhand!

[nitoniwatori]

This is F*cking Very Fun game!!!! really miss this game >__<" i used to play with my friends many times i really love there many secrets items around the map :)

[JuliusKing503]

this was my first game on the nes when i was 4 years old in 1994, still have the cartridge with me and will be buried with me when i die, no bullshit, this was the BEST OF THE BEST game back in its days, this game is perfect for a movie, hope its no low budget with a sorry ass director, hey they are making Real Steel (Rock em Sock em Robots) and Battleship, why not this game into a movie...just saying...for us fans of the old school.

[shadowninja708]

Yeah shadowninja has his own game =3 I used to play these games when i was 6-10 on my old gameboy

[2213BBM2213]

This was one of my favourite ninja games back in the days!

[frajaos]

the sound is the best!!.. nothing like that eco sound iwth each explosion !!! great game...

[ricardesco93]

i remember this game

[fabiocezar]

[socinvietnam]

[minhmeoquay]

[superkeenenbell]

@minhmeoquay who cares

[minhmeoquay]

@superkeenenbell u suck too

[SFKhoa]

@minhmeoquay No you can't.

[affehlito]

I had been searching for this game for ages and I finally found it today again after help from a nes forum..THE MEMORIES... One of the best nes games hands down.

[OilyTower]

I FINALLY BEAT THIS GAME!!!

IT WAS SO SATISFYING, YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT!

HOLY SHIT WAS IT HARD ON SOLO!

well now i can sleep peacefully tonight with a feel of fulfillment :D

[Noumonika]

Remember of playing this with my sister all day long non-stop on my vacation around 1993. Its an awesome game ever made. Never get to remember the game's name. I only tried to search for "Two Ninja" haha and in fact its not at all lol...

[papalolita]

Had lots of fun on this one with my cousin back in the early 90s.

[UltimateThanos]

How do you switch between the sword and the shurikun?

[freitasnetuno]

Dude this game is awesome, i've played it a lot on my childhood, in the recent years i was trying to find out what was the name of it, i just remembered the red and the blue ninjas. NOW I KNOW!!! lol

Thank you very much!

[demonkai76]

4 lames thumbed down

[DigitalCyborgman]

I wanna go back and stayed there !

[AnimaxRules]

Woah! I remember me and my best friend plaing this shit all the week after school. He used the blue ninja and every sword upgrade. I used the yellow one and every chain upgrade.

[d21lewis]

Little known fact: Ninja Gaiden Shadow on the Gameboy was actually a portable version of this game.  No idea how Tecmo and Natsume worked that out.

[bigshiz]

@d21lewis notice how both ryu and the ninja in this game (hayate) are in the game Dead or alive.

[smartbomb33]

The co-op on this game was pretty fun. Such a hard game, like a lot of NES games.

[wingnux]

I love this game but it's hard as hell!

[BulgarianPsychopath]

I love the music of these old games !

[Yolkamini]

One of my favorites games!!

[klovaa]

What i would like to know, if there is any difference with "Shadow ninja" And "Blue Shadow" Causee for me it seems like it is. like different mobs and such, anyone knows if there is any different endings aswell ? Vry Curious

[samesoul]

wtf!! how did you get magic ninja stars?!

[festum666]

wow your good

[deonvan]

MEMORY..... Those were the day...

[Holocauxt]

HOLY SHIT I FINALLY FOUND THIS GAME!!! All I could remember from this game is that pirate boss that slides a lot. This, Solbrain/Shatterhand and Dragon Fighter were my Top-3 NES action games!

[Lymmar]

@Holocauxt That is exactly what happened to me just now! I used to play it all the time, but I was no where near as good as this guy.

[xionz83]

there is a secret 'book' on the center of turning wheel stage 1-3

[KatiushaVN4]

@xionz83

I know that when i was a little girl

[PikolUploader]

GOOOD DAAAMN I had no clue how this game was named, I was looking for it for so long :D I was a hardcore player, I could never beat the last boss :D

[PlinnRodolf]

my fav game on NES :)

i've finished this game like 40+ times

it's old but still a very addicting game!

[sherryhang]

what? why they cant jump?

[MaxPayne92]

it somehow reminds me of Sunsoft's Batman. The graphics are similar and so is the level design

[thedirtys2006]

i dont think i ever playd this game. reminds me of ninja gaiden, crossfire and bionic commando.

[JahRasta311]

This is a broke-ass Ninja Gaiden with ceiling climbing instead of wall climbing. Not impressed.

[Masterz13]

It's on Virtual Console for Wii today.

[bolch88bb8]

@Masterz13 fuck wii....bring it for ps 3 :(

[bezerker99]

this game gets released on Virtual Console in NA today!!!! WIN!!!!

[monk0065]

my heart skipped a beat after finding out its arriving to "virtual console" later this year...YAY!

[Al496]

@monk0065 more like TODAY! haha xD

[monk0065]

@Al496 holy snaps! i just jizzed! this is so on!!!

[IRonanN1I]

good job!

[DanceOfShadows16B]

Pretty cool. It's got good graphics for an NES game.

[chimera1277]

when i first played this game i died many times, but eventually i mastered it.

[monk0065]

they should put this and cobra triangle onto the virtual console!!!

[Mariwa69]

Great game! Nice Memories!

[Cash82Mx]

Puta madre, el mejor video juego que tuve después de double dragon. Que tiempos aquellos

[razielionutz]

what old times....

[yeshodeep]

i always uesd to die at the final level, with the last boss !

[mauro125]

@yeshodeep yeah me too, was freaking hard, but i was like 10 also

[jbubbjw]

Never got tired of it.

[ftwelve12]

When it's on stage 2, the sewer level, that music is a total rip off of the flashman stage

[TheDemoniusX]

I reviewed this game a while ago. very underrated and awesome.

[quuboid]

the graphics are top notch for its time. sleek moves too!

[Thulinassa]

@quuboid

Not to mention the music and sound fx!

[Askar450]

Lol I still have this game on NES the actually cartridge XD this was one of the very first games I got on NES. TMNT 3, Shadow Ninja's and the multi cartridge game "Super Spike V'Ball and Nintendo World Cup"!

[ricacrdini]

oooooooo wtf i remember it!!! was a great game for that year...

[LanIost]

I have an Android based phone (the original t-mobile G1) and have the great NES emulator, NESOID for it.

I accidentally downloaded "Blue Shadow" which apparently is an alternate name for this game or the PAL version or something.

I also accidentally ran it. When I saw Natsume for some reason Harvest Moon came to mind and I assumed it would be some sort of ninja RPG. Boy was I wrong.

This game, seriously, is amazing. It's one of the best NES games you've never played. GET IT.

[CesMan83]

Really neat-looking game, reminds me highly of Ninja Gaiden...pity it never became a hit...I think "Shadow of the Ninja" would have made a great comic book; I could totally see the hero in this one battling the Predator or something

[mongwai89]

I loved that game :)

[TruDru1978]

Where can I get this Awesome looking 2-Player Game? I still own an NES.

[RicardoBatistaPassos]

Hi, does someone know about a game that there was a ninja, similar to this, and theres a map with HUGE trees, that the caracter can climb and do huge jumps from to one another? enemies too could climb, i just forgot the name of this game, i dont even remember the console, maybe it was NES.

[takedowned]

ninja gaiden?

[RicardoBatistaPassos]

lolm now... its a game where the clothes of the ninja changed collors man... it's an interesting game, like huge jumps and huge tree climbing...

[HeavensMeat]

Probably legend of kage.

[RicardoBatistaPassos]

word! thanx man someone told me right befora ya.

[polariuzz]

its ninja crusader

[RicardoBatistaPassos]

Hehehehe that was 3 months ago, anyway, no it's not ninja crusader, it's Legend of Kage!

[deluxedookie]

legend of kage?

[RicardoBatistaPassos]

THANX MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HoradrimSage]

Looks like funy game...

[Stefandorf]

Is this the same as Blue Shadow (also on the NES)?

Any way, 3:16 sounds a bit like Flash Man's theme from Mega Man 2.

[balder1981]

yes it is the same

[daabbot]

wish i had this for nes. it was so tough back in the day to find good nes games. almost everyone got a bunch of unbeatable stinkers

[Streamline1990]

Thank you for this..i was looking for this one..really thx :D

[doggyvannak]

[shannonstamey]

That is one of the coolest things I've ever heard. This game was great. And awesome name (laserbeak) by the way. I had totally forgotten about laserbeak. Not rumble and ravage though.

[onn1320]

yeah i had this i thought it was even comparable to Ninja Gaiden

[LordMetzen]

@laserbeak43 with outstanding gameplay (really thight controls), and incredible music....man this was one of the best nes games EVER.

All these years and I still have the music craved in my brain......just Awesome...

[SeventhSun]

You pig! Why didn't you use the female ninja instead!

*acts REALLY ANGRY*

[DonKain]

I have to agree, atleast on technical part, fem ninja had somewhat better/faster moves.

[javoman13]

I have this game and I think it is really cool.OK. sayonara my friends.

[rasub]
