One of the most memorable 8-bit tunes of my childhood. I could never beat it as a child, but I would get to the level and sit there to listen. Some of the best themes ever created are from the original Nintendo.
While listening to this, an insane falcon attacked me. As soon as I killed it with my pocket knife, it had respawned from its starting location and attacked me again.
Yeah, I died after beating Barron Spider. And I never continued playing either. I'm glad I didn't because I watched Proton Jon play, and the story line made no sense to me. You really have to play Ninja Gaiden to understand the second one.
This is music is the best ever!!!!!!! Ninja Gaiden should rec-create this song for their 3D ones and make it sound better but have the same beat and beeps to make the song (I don't know wha to call them :P)
I remember when i was a kid and i reach this act for the first time. i was dying cuz the wind all the time, but the song makes me continue playing and playing till i learn
@L8P8 It never goes away. And I'm 25. The best part is when it snows and it gets dark, actually go outside and start running either with the real beat on an mp3 or the beat in your head!
@figthersdreams damn straight man. its a blizzard out today, going skiing very soon. but im on level 4-2, and i can't stop playing... this song is soo addicting.
I remember this stage, back when I was a kid I wasn't smart enough to figure out the snow pattern and always died, but this was always my favorite track.
All of the tracks on this game are titled. There is a code that you can input at the title to get to the sound menu.
This track is titled Snow Storm.
I was messing around with it on my computer, changed it to a minor, slowed it down and put a little bit of reverb on it. It sounded pretty epic. hahaha...
As good as this game is, there's one giant glaring flaw. And it's the damn clone item you get. Most of the time it seriously screwed me up because Ryu's clones got in the way of all of the action. Still a great game! But god I wish that item was left out! I managed to beat NG III. And holy hell was it insanely tough, hardest Nes game I've ever played! much harder than Gaiden I and II. Yet one thing's for sure it had the weakest sound track, I and II's were much better ;p
this was my first nintendo game i had!!, i still remember that day in the fleamarket....to know that i had such a cool game for my first nintendo game...epic
I suddenly feel very cold and slippery.

Actually this track is titled "Overdrive" and the code you use to get to the "Musicruise" sound test is to hold these buttons:
Down+Left+A+B+Select, and press Start.
(Do this at the title screen and press start again to get the basic sound test. Repeat the procedure up to 3 times to get to the Musicruise.)
