  • I haven't even played this, but that still seems like a pretty cool intro for a video game.

  • I made a remix of the intro song (The Decision) it's on my channel if you wanna check it out. :D

  • Almost 2 decades and this game is still the shit. Nearly brought tears to my eyes lol

  • The most important cut scene in video game history.

  • Wow! When i first played this game, saw this intro i knew something was different, some divide between diversionary video games that tickled you and kept your attention the way a mobile keeps an infant entranced and the attention when you're completely wrapt in the story, the character; when wanting to know what happens next is more important than earning points. Was this the first game with cinematic scenes? Dunno. Dont care. The game along with the soundtrack sent/sends chills up my back.

  • Man I love this intro, probably my favourite game intro ever. Would love to beat this game one day but those last 3 bosses can go fuck themselves.

  • I remember seeing this on my Nintendo as a kid and thinking, "Now that's how you settle disputes."

  • OMG I remember when my dad bought me this game for my birthday but he didnt let me play it because it was too late at night and I had school the next day.. I remember asking him if I can just watch the intro.. I watched it several times and thought it was the best game EVER! I could not sleep that night LOL

  • My father left me the same message when he died.

  • This would give me the chills and pump me up to play.

  • @ChiMickey89 Download it on an emulator, thats what i did

  • I MADE IT!!!! I JUST BEAT THIS GAME!!! OH GOD!!

    well maybe I used a little of save state abuse but even with that... uh boy

  • I swear I remember this being longer, more mysterious, and with ominous music playing... starts out very slow and gets faster. all crescendos at the point when they strike. Or maybe it was just my imagination filling in to make it more badass than it really was. This type of dueling ninja sequence is so iconic

  • Wow. I used to think this was the coolest intro

  • @TonyDeMarco79 what do you mean "used" to? it still is and forever shall be the coolest intro

  • I just Nostalgiaed all over my desk... and I've never even played this game!

  • A ninja with a orange suit must stupid idea ever!!!

  • is very boing!!!

  • this is the first game that have a cutscene!

  • 2:20 - 1:15 = E.P.I.C.

  • @Erandis7777 i mean 0:20 ^^

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Isso era minha infância!

  • my favorite intro and the second song is one of my all time favorite song in a videogame

  • Even now this is still one of the best intros of video game history. The music perfectly matchs with the scene (very well made for its time) making you feel inside it. NG was one of the first games that begin the use of storylines through a wise use of cut scenes.

  • ooh I see. Scott Pilgrim vs Lucas Lee.

    huge lightbulb moment right here.

  • Damn, the black dude actually won.

  • This game was the shit back them.

  • Damn, a flood of memories came back from watching this, sigh.....

  • Old days :(

  • The reason why he was wearing a light orange tint is because it was once a white suit, but over the ages he has killed so many, stained the ninja suit with so much blood...

    He never washed the blood off in remembrance of his fallen adversaries. Instead of being dark red, or bright red, the blood has rusted off and on that fated night, the moon's light shone upon him, reflecting a bit of blue to give the off-tint of...Orange.

  • @BassmasterD Wow. Epic.

  • @BassmasterD Hahahaah that makes total sense.

  • love that song

  • when I was a kid, to me, this intro was so spectacular... incredible how old i am now

  • I need 360 and PS3 to step their graphics game up... lol

  • so fuckin epic!!!

  • ant nothing like playin old school video games they still go hard video games has came a long way

  • I got goosebumps from this taking me back...

  • Why has no one played the song at 0:22 with a violin yet? D: afaik at least. T^T

  • @KilleRoyNl Wow dude, finally I know im not the only one that has wanted to hear the original ninja gaiden theme on violin. Thank you

  • FUCK NARUTO! This is Ninja Gaiden. I die to this music

  • roots!

    

  • 11 people got their ass kick by birds

  • ninjas are bad ass

  • And now we are almost playing NG 3. Finally we might get a good look at Ryu as a person and not just some ruthless ninja with bad storyline and concept.But damn good gameplay, hopefully it will stay that way in NG 3 as well.

  • Brings back epic memories from my childhood! Long live gaming and animation!

  • 0:01 Why does the ground move?

  • @philippinespotlight1 That's old school video game graphics for ya.

  • @philippinespotlight1 It's the wind blowing the grass for dramatic effect....ha ha.

  • @philippinespotlight1 It's the air that's moving the grass, were you expecting realistic graphics in a nes game??

  • @philippinespotlight1 so mucho power that meke even the earth shake man

  • @philippinespotlight1 It's not that the ground moves, it's that the ninja are moving far too fast to see their legs moving, thus creating the illusion that it's the ground that is moving, Super Ninja technique quick move, ウホ!!!

  • @philippinespotlight1 i would thinking its the wind

  • @philippinespotlight1 cause earth spinning? XD

  • @philippinespotlight1 to show the camera moving

  • @philippinespotlight1 camera is moving as we aproach them lol

  • @philippinespotlight1 I think that was the developers trying to make it look like the grass was swaying back and forth in the wind.

  • @philippinespotlight1 Hey, it was the eighties. Gotta add to visual effects to make an epic dramatical sequence.

  • @philippinespotlight1 suppose to simulatethe camera panning & circling around the scene... THAT is why the Characters are ALSO moving.

  • @Kenshiro3rd

    It may be so , but I just noticed that too , the characters are infact not moving ...

    the background is just scrolling along :D

  • @philippinespotlight1 I think that was supposed to give the impression of wind blowing over the grass...

  • @philippinespotlight1 Simulate wind i suppose, limits to the technology ;)

  • @philippinespotlight1 grasslands flowed like oceans in the 80's.

  • @philippinespotlight1 damn kids

  • @philippinespotlight1

    I think its supposed to be the wind blowing the grass.

  • Why did they say he's dead, up until the end of the game he never died, injured probably, but not dead

  • @philippinespotlight1 Maybe he somehow faked his death.

  • #1 most frustrating game in history..... whipped the NES controller across the room a million times trying to finish this game..... never beat it.... FU Tecmo

  • 1911 filter makes everything better!

  • GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME!!!

  • Hardest game ever. No kidding!

  • BEST FUCKIN GAME EVER PERIOD.

  • this game is awesome but its even more unforgiving than the new ones. you die 3 times and its back to the beginning of the game.

  • @sarcanicus what?u die 3 times and u go to the beginning?where in the holy mother of fuck did u see that in this game?does the word CONTINUE mean something to u?

  • @CRRPGMykael if you die you go back to the beginning of the level you are in.

  • @sarcanicus thats not what you said..."you die 3 times and its back to the BEGINNING OF THE GAME."...and yeah if u die 3 times u go back to the beginning of the stage you're in(doesn't count with boss stages cuz u still gotta go through the previous stage...ex:boss is 3-3 but if u die u go back to 3-2)

  • I WANT THIS GAME!!!

  • Does the opening really make sense? His father volunteered to fight and die and even said it might be "destiny" for him to die. What is Ryu going to have revenge for?

  • @DancerInTheHeart He had a peaceful life, now he has to fight those deadly birds from hell...

  • The most of the games with good sountracks belong to the 90's

  • be always brave? Nice grammer....

  • @CPTrocklob i think they were just throwing that there to let you know that you are about to get your ass handed to you nonstop

  • BEst intro inall NES games my opnion of course..;) ..lol

  • this brings back memories

  • Comment removed

  • @Rayossan I would say Naruto, but that's only if Ninja's were faggots.

  • @Rayossan NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dude..this game tottally beats all the other ninja gaidens

  • "Why did my father dress up for a duel in a pink Ninja outfit?

    Even i dont know for sure.

  • @zartann1856 That's probably why he lost lol. His son Ryu would learn better and wear the right color: blue.

  • @zartann1856 ur 1 dumb fuckin kid.

  • @GrettelsObsession lol, wow my joke really angered you that much that you felt the need to reply to a 3 month old comment?

    get a life lame ass.

  • @zartann1856 that was a quick reply :-) after 3 months! and im the lame ass? kid, ur a fuckin moron. ur comment says enough. the more u talk the dumber u look.

  • @GrettelsObsession I see that your sad and upset, my question is why?

  • @zartann1856 its you're, not your. Why do ppl get that wrong so much? oh thats right... most people are generic, fuckin idiots just like you. Fuck off dumbass. i made my point and u proved it. The more the u talk, the dumber u look. U dont know shit about Ninja Gaiden and u werent around when the game was popular (still is too) and u wana make some fancy joke because ur immature brain thinks its funny. Its not pink, u fuckin shmuck its orange. at least get that right. now gtfo my face

  • @GrettelsObsession so its ok for you to use u for You and ure for you're but your correcting my grammer lol.

    talk about some nerd rage lol calm down little girl and for the record I did have ninja gaiden for nes and i love the game and series quit crying.

  • @GrettelsObsession 1st boss barbarian 2nd boss spinning chain dude then dog monsters jumping ponytail ninja,shield guy then jaquito. Ill go nerd cred to nerd cred with you anyday KID!

  • @zartann1856 when i use ur i know it means you're. when u use ur, u think its supposed to be your. thats the difference. btw keep googling info to impress youtube nerds. face the fact: ur a fuckin tool

  • @GrettelsObsession why would i go to a youtube video about the nes version of ninja gaiden if i didnt know the game? and being a grammer nazi on the internet is the definition of being a tool.

  • @zartann1856 alright ill bite on last time and ill be frank. Dude.. if you, at this point in ur life, dont even know the difference between youre and your, then go hang urself nazi style. its not being a "grammar nazi" its common sense u fuckin idiot. unless u dropped outta school at age 10 or have been sniffin glue all ur life, u should know the difference. grammar is not adding the apostrophe to you're. not completely failing and using a different word. grow up kid. read a book. and eat a dick

  • @GrettelsObsession I thought we were talking about ninja gaiden?

  • @GrettelsObsession Ah I see using ure/ ur/ u / telling me to eat a dick/ calling me a fucktard all makes you above me and qualified to give me grammer lessons lol. You are crazy dude.

  • @GrettelsObsession "The more the u talk, the dumber u look." lol its like a retard calling me a retard :)

  • @zartann1856 btw reply all u want until the sky comes crashing down u fuckin nitwit. learn proper english and actually play ninja gaiden before u run ur mouth like some misinformed scrub. take care fucktard

  • @zartann1856 In America archaeologist Smith will explain - in his San Fransico bungalow.

  • iam a girl who like video games i play this game with my brother i really like this game bring me some memory back

  • @Sailorchunli17

  • @7eventy shut the fuck up bitch. That joke is old, not funny anymore and offensive.

    grow the fuck up

  • @7eventy go the fuck away sexist fag.

  • ok fuck all the people bitching on this page, all i'm here to say is that was fucking awesome. haven't see that cut scene since i was a kid. thanks you

  • if you press 3 after clicking on the the video you get to the best part of the song

  • This blew my balls off when I first saw this

  • 0:23-1:01 is DEFINITELY the same tune as from Zelda, with a couple slightly different notes at the very end of the last measure in the repetition.

  • Comment removed

  • where can i dl this?

  • I like ryu in these, but cant stand him in the DOA games

  • Awww The Memories & Good Times. I Always Got To The End, But Never Could Beat This Game!!

  • luving the music!

  • i´m12 and i know this game i

    love it

  • THE BEST GAME EVER MADE !

  • I remember this intro vividly as a kid, this intro was wicked! But I never understood 2 things from it...First off, why does the red ninja collapse? They other ninjas sword never touched his body, they just hit swords, that's it. Second, how is it that the red ninja hits the ground way after the other one does, when they both started falling at the same speed/time? Red ninja musta had some crazy hangtime lol.

  • That was all "Hollywood Effect". He really DID get stabbed I'm pretty sure, but they wanted to make it epic, so they made the scene flash, and the chime was probably meant to coincide with the epic flash. As for the second question, I dunno lol.

  • Ninja Gaiden...the best music ever in the history of video games. With the music from the Double Dragon series at a close second.

  • @Emil308 yes, so nostalfic baeutyful, who composed it?

  • @Emil308 Amen to that :)

    Don't forget Castlevania too

  • Hardest. Game. Ever.

  • What his father should have done is rally the lads and then shoot that other chap full of crossbow bolts/arrows. You know, in a sneaky ninja assasin sort of manner.

  • @lashkaretoiba It's Kage Legend's or something like this, it's usually found on those shitty 100 in 1 game cartridges.

  • There was a ninja game on the nes where you had to collect little white orbs and every time you did your karate gi would change colors. You also had to fight guys that came from the trees that looked like raiden. One hit from a ninja star could kill ya as well. Does anyone remember the name of this game? It was a real pisser.

  • I remember some these nntendo games even had novels to it. I had the Ninja Gaiden version.The book followed similar to the game. I read the Castlevania version,that one was crap.

  • great intro, it's short but says a lot, one of the better video game intro from the past, even better than most intro's from today's games

  • Now I know the inspiration for Stinkoman VS Stickly Man

  • this is not a game, this is the game

  • does anyone remember the nintendo videogame where there was a level with a big octopus or squid in a pool or something....please message me and let me know!!! it is killing me because i can't remember what it is. thanks

  • @digestyourflesh I remember that too...damn but I can't remember what game though, but I do remember playing a game and having to fight an octopus. Lol it's like on the tip of my brain but can't remember what it is!

  • @Emil308 I remembered the other day... it is Low G man :)

  • 'Ryu, be always brave...'

    'Dad, noooooo! That is terrible grammar'

  • @suckstobeblue Nope. That grammer is actually 100% correct. It just does'nt sound like it.

  • When I was a kid and red the first questions of Ryu I used to think "wtf, why you ask? isn't it what ninjas are supposed to do?"

  • This takes me back, i used to play this religiously, GREAT game!

  • "NINJA. GAI. DED!!"

    "alright he knows that game! Ya hear that, Jimmy-boy?"

  • Noooooooooooooooooo! RYU'S DAD! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  • The song from 0:23 to the end is fucking epic.

  • @Cul3eDeVoyage yeah its definitely from the first tloz

  • @huhabah no its not form the legend of zelda faggot

  • @MrMrUri i know that you clueless nazi,

    im saying it sounds like the title screen from tloz.

  • @huhabah saying "yeah its definitely from the first tloz" is different from saying it sounds like the title screen from tloz and also calling you a faggot doesn't make me a nazi I recommend you actually learn what a nazi is

  • @MrMrUri and i recommend you learn JUST how much i know.

    nazi is just a term for asshole.

  • @MrMrUri learn about internets, then get back to me.

  • @huhabah actually no its not you stupid 12 year old, also its l2internet, seeing as how only a faggot wouldn't know such a thing, you must have just discovered the internet about a month ago.

  • @MrMrUri check out my youtube page, bitch.

    also, nazi is an INTERNET term for asshole, such as grammar nazi, spam nazi, etc.

    GTFO.

  • @huhabah first off no fuck off you page view whore second of all nazi isn't a term for asshole nor is it an internet term, grammar nazi etc. is one who is strict, e.g grammar nazis are striced when it comes to grammar and I'm just going to assume something right here, you're a faggot 12 year old who's youtube page's age is 18+ yet in reality you're just some fag who discovered the internet a mounth ago.

  • @huhabah being the curiousfag that I am I checked you page and it turns out everything I said is true. You're some fatfuck whale of a 12 year old who just discovered the internet a month ago.

  • @Cul3eDeVoyage I wonder if theres an OST for this game...

  • With a name like Hayabusa, it certainly indicates Ryu is Oriental; however, his features do not lean in that direction. All ninjas must be Oriental; it's the Ninja Code.

  • Great childhood memories - except the game was called Shadow Warrior in Europe.. I even got some new friends because of this game. After I stopped playing it I rarely saw them again though. Actually kinda sad when I think it through, lol...
