Omg Nostalgia.... this game was the bane of my childhood -_- the boss on the next level always killed me, everytime i played this stage i knew it was gonna end here
Easily my favorite track from NJ1. Though I remember this from the cutscene before 3-1, where Ryu is talking to that archaeologist who was a friend of his late father. This song is perfect background music for serious discussion moments.
i used to think back to those saturday nights when i was a kid playing this game, when i had no homework (wasn't that the best?) and this level reminded me of night time..
such a great game with such a great soundtrack i wish i can play it on guitar game music is fucking in a genre all by its self long live our childhood
@yurushii uh, no they did not. usually im pretty good at noticing those things so i gave it yet a second look being as i have this here page bookmarked, and it is just a similarly structured melody, but by no means is it a sample. so stop telling me people wrong shit kid on the school bus
I stil dont get why the European version is called Shadow Warriors, same goes for SEGA Genesis, being called the megadrive,. there was no drive involved until the SEGA CD addon lol.
I would wonder of this Video had a bad rate. 5 Stars, this theme song about fighting and dieing is especially. Too good when training on a fight sport.
they are missing the sickest song the one were you climb the ladder into the castle for the 1st time its real deadly sounding. . . before you fight the hopping things./ . .
this song always reminds me of church and praying to the devil or some kind of devil worship in a basement/cave with candles and people chanting some latin jargon to make evil rise
One of the best damn games on NES!! The music was great too!! I played this game everyday for 8 hours! I conquered this game in about a week and a half!!! My favorite
I could never beat this game when i was kid, i finally did 2 years ago ;p One of the hardest Nes games period...Especially Ryu's father and the last boss...
@DanielSong39 The only possible way to defeat Jaquio without cheats is probably to do the "wall glitch". Climb all the way up on the left wall, wait for him to get next to you, then jump into him. You will be bounced back, up the wall, standing. And from there you can easily duck his fireballs and strike him 2-4 times when he gets there.
@DrJohnCockwalrus jaquio is rough, but once you die you can just fight your way back up from 6-1 and it skips ryus father. Also you beat the dad by slash the orb. once he gets too close, wall jump up to the top. wait for im to get over there, jump off run to the other side, climb wait, jump off, other side jump and slash a few times climb wait repeat
the trick to beating jacquio is putting up with going back to him after he kills you. get the spin slash in 6-3, last item in the first area, and hold onto it all the way til the end(hard). 1 jump slash will kill jacquio or take him to litterally 1 health.
Same as my brother...but it took me longer than both of you sense I was only about 5 when it came out! I like games now-a-days, well kinda, but I still prefer what I grew up playing...and that's NES and SNES! Long live Nintendo!
I've never beaten ANY NG games especially on the NES. Man I sure to accomplish one of those games lol. As far as this soundtrack, I really like this one because it just makes me think of the climax of the game. Shoot Imma see if I can download this as a ringtone lol.
this always reminds me of a temple for some reason. also EVERY single boss can die in one hit or two max if you just jump n slash. i tried this by mistake on the first boss and he died in one hit! i used it everywhere after that and this game became so easy xD
I don't have a NES anymore but I still have the cartridge.
Many nights when I'm alone I hold it my hand and close my eyes. I imagine myself playing through the game from start to finish.
As I get into the game I begin to wave the cartridge back and forth and hum the music.
After awhile though I begin to realize that my childhood has been lost forever and I burst into tears. I slowly put the game away then crawl under the covers, my lips puckered around my thumb.
The music in this game is exceptional because it has soul, which is noted in every aspect of the game. The small core of designers who made this game seriously believed in what they were creating - nowdays, games are made by thousands upon thousands and the spirit of the game is lost in the translation.
I would really like to know who created all these haunting melodies in the original Ninja Gaiden (NES)? It has haunted me enough every time i remembered for the past 20 years. No other game melodies has this effect.
i thought this was the music for 4-3 but i was wrong i forgot about the stage where u have to go in to the runes and kill that frog statue but this is just befor act 3 in the cut seen where Dr.Smith and Ryu r talking about the 2 demon statues and then it gets stolen
this music wast in just act 4-3 not 5-3 act 3 was the boss that jumped around a lot and then it was the cavern 4-1 then out side 4-2 then its this place with this music 4-3 where the stage is green and also it was in the cut seen with Dr.smith just befor act 3 started when they're talking about the 2 demon statues and then it gets stolen,memories lol
This music is awesome. It's my all time favorite in the game. I still own this awesome ninja game. The soundtrack is just awesome. Thankyou for uploading this masterpeice. ^_^

I've never beaten Ryu's father without the spin slash, personally. I've seen people do it, but I never have.
And Jacquio is the guy that rapes me.

The key is to jump onto a wall and wall-jump until you're out of the father's reach.
Jaquio is a tough one... never quite figured it out. I can time his pattern just fine; the problem is dodging the fireballs...
