Ninja Gaiden 2. The dark Sword of Chaos

[runsaber1]

the 2 dislikes come from 0bama and his gay lover

who were mad that the game didn't include 0bama having gay sex with arab children in it. *lulz*

[phuturephunk]

@runsaber1 That's not even funny, even from a trolling perspective. Try harder assjack.

[swl9380]

always luv this theme kick ass

[d4cl0n3]

Esto si son juegos... debieron remasterizar estas historias a la nextgen

[charvelgtrs]

This is in need of a dubstep remix.

[blakout0]

@charvelgtrs i can totally agree

[powerslave887]

I Fucking Love This Song.

[luisdiaz1980]

There always was, and always will be, only ONE Ninja Gaiden II in my eyes.

This is the REAL Ninja Gaiden II. The button-mashing, shallow piece of shit on current gen should be burned and forgotten.

[artisanrox]

Awesome intro...STILL one of the best.

[BdR76]

The clean and superfast two-voice (or three-voice?) parts at @1:21 and @1:34 are just epic. A little masterpiece in its own right, those guys at Tecmo knew what they were doing.

[3dGMX]

Best intro in the history of video games....

[2345Disciple]

If you want the highest quality, go to 240p.

[MoeWet11]

Best video game beat of all time all platforms must bow down and pay to homage to this intro it just made you have to beat the game which also was very hard to do I still think part 3 was the most difficult to beat out of the other 2,by the way my brother thought this beat was so hot he made a song with the instrumental

[rronak95]

whats the name of the song?

[amolmahabir1]

@rronak95 Chaosium Sword. There is a nice Rock cover made by a band called Chromelodeon. Both versions are very cool/

[seekertosecrets]

A classical epic!



[viper2077]

u damn right this is the best games of NG

[jeditenihongo]

One of the best intro to games ever. Epic game music. Classic NES Tune.

[bumblefritz]

This game is awesome. I remember restarting the game so I could watch the intro over when I was younger.

[hare122275]

One of the greatest intros ever, game or otherwise.

[PrinceHaenke]

Ashtar...........he could have been so much more, love this damn scene

[vguyver2]

I would rewatch the intro time and time again everytime I turned the thing on, did this for at least 5-10 minutes each time before I even bothered playing the awesome game. It was such an awesome intro, was always getting goose pumps from it as a kid, kept humming the intro theme over and over again and imagining it with an orchestra or Rock Band version. I must of done this for the better part of a decade before my NES started to die. I have yet to be effected by a movie in the same way.

[TemplarReturns]

@vguyver2 I cant explain to you how many times I did that as well. I would turn on the game and just let it play. I think all the films and games that I've seen as a kid and little intros like this inspired me to become a film maker. Ill do these games justice and learn from them, as simple as they are. I promise you!!

[vguyver2]

@TemplarReturns I'd be in your gratitude if you did so, I wish you luck. I hope to see applaud your work in the future.

[chuflesthecat]

when i was a boy this intro scare the shit out of me D: since then everytime i see it i have to clean myself again and again and again

this is so FUCKING EPIC .

[colt45joe]

short simple awesome intro. more intros need to be like this.

[666yurell666]

OMFG!!

[Megadeth72]

intense opening scene

[Domanese]

This intro really sucks you into the game and the plot, gets you involved immediately and also makes you give a damn about what's happening. "Primitive" as it is graphic wise, the game play is awesome, difficult and the story makes you keep playing wanting to see what happens next.

It's sad to see where Ryu Hayabusa is now in gaming history. Favoring bikinis volleyball and pool games, over epic stories, fighting and characters you give a damn about rather then TnA

[Amonthered]

@Domanese so this is the same ryu from DOA in the series? if that's true it sucks because i liked him in the NG series better than the DOA bull crap i rented the DOA game once and took it back the next day because there was no real fighting in it though i guess most people who like DOA like crappy fan service which i dont really go for in game play just give me a good story line and a butt kicking hero and im good to go.

[wyldink1]

@Domanese Where do you get this "favoring bikinis volleyball and pool games" sentiment? Ninja Gaiden 3 is coming, and, though it lacks Itagaki's hand, promises to really go back to what made the Xbox game so great.

You also must have missed the really very excellent Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma releases in the last few years.

[Herege]

Perfect intro!

Ryu Hayabusa the real badass ninja!

PS: Tecmo bring us back Irene Lew!

[phuturephunk]

This intro is so much badassery in one place it should be illegal. Its discombobulatingly devastating that mortals even try to comprehend it.

[ELFATHER1313]

I still have this game with the Original cover & instruction manual<3

[Sejr]

I always can't help but laugh at the camo pants ninja dropping in, it's just so random. Wait, is that even a ninja to begin with?

Awesome intro.

[rodrigorjacob]

my infancy Brasil.

[AresViu]

@rodrigorjacob

Meu primeiro video game foi um Dynavision, e este jogo foi o que eu mais gostei, mas infelizmente eu não consegui terminar este jogo (apesar de ficar muitas horas jogando)!!!!voce conseguiu zera-lo?

[rodrigorjacob]

@Ares 2 semanas jogando direto,quase o dia inteiro.Quando terminei fiquei até meio lesado.Com tonturas.O bart vs space mutant tambem foi demorado.

[thrussianboy]

Greatest game intro!!!

[GuyverJoe]

I demand a real metal cover of this, yesterday!!

[CrissSpiegel]

@GuyverJoe Look at OverClocked Remix.

(In fact, this is already metal, but with square waves instead of guitars.)

[piromaniac9999]

after i beat this game,i'm never playing it again.

I don't need the frustration and anger this game produces at level 7-3.

[Nevareh]

It's such a well-directed cutscene, and the attention to detail is amazing for an NES game. When was the last time you saw an... anything that actually had thunder come -after- the lightning?

[yushiyumenomoto]

+1 from Ukraine.

In my childhood i could watch it over and over again.

This, and all the cut scenes, it's really epic job, compilation of music and graphic.

[carpedmon]

F U C K I N G E P I C

[Yellaboynaptown1]

one of the best games ever and the best soundtrack ever of games.

[MrWrodrose]

The best song of the games...Ninja Gaiden II it´s a FUCK Best game of NES.

[sixItoIeight]

I'd like to know how the NES managed to make a more realistic thunder crash than the SNES remake.

this intro is nigh timeless.

[picar0s]

Hands down to the power of the NES !!!

[NuclearSidewalk]

One of the best game intros ever.

[insanity21376]

@NuclearSidewalk Damn straight! When I got NG2 and put it in my NES, after watching the intro I was so pumped to get started on the game.

[cannonballkid]

I got this game when I was 4 the intro scared the shit out of me

[tobymoo]

This song gives me the creeps

[LordGriffith]

I think this might be my favorite NES track ever. Tecmo ruled supreme on the subject of NES music (just listen to Captain Tsubasa 2 soundtrack if you doubt it), Capcom followed close.

[nintendobandito]

I love this damn game :)

[XXXoXXoXXXX]

Still my favorite game ever.

I remember beating it at my grand ma's for the first time. 

My first orgasm.

[Andres33AU]

This has to be one of the best intros to a NES game ever! Not only does the lightning make it more epic, but it's just like a movie and the music rocks! I am glad to still own this game! =D

[ZELDA71085]

ok!!! y si muy tonto... ya no lo juego, solo de ves en cuando... obvio, de niñi lo jugaba muchisimo...este juego en especial. pero pues si, el nes va directo al baul de los recuerdos!!! bye!!

[ZELDA71085]

mmm perdon , no sabia lo ignorante que eras... no tiene caso ni leerte ya.

[ZELDA71085]

soy mejor que tu, soy mejor que cualquiera!!!

[Xiraus]

Best Intro of all times!

[getreadytotube]

oh the memories... :)!

[radamanthys1]

Best game EVER!!! ive played and played this since i was a child, im 24 now and i have this in my PC emulated.

[wario81]

fuckin awesome

[ChiviChing]

This is one of my all time favorite game intros!!!

[odjrin]

This was my favorite of all the series, including this new ones. I remeber playing this a gazillion times, took me almost a year to figure out how to beat it (I was 10 BTW, 28 now). It would be so freaking sweet for Tecmo to re-release these on PSN/XBLA/WiiWare with the graphics touched up, but leave the gameplay and music intact.

[SparklesofUnity]

Another game I wanted to to a tribute video on, the series in general. Awesome series but tough game. Music is also very memorable unlike todays games.

[fenixonline]

amazing game!!! what a classic ^^ good memories

[kamali101]

Love it!!!

[Miktlantekuhtli]

this is the best NES game ever!!! at least the story is superb!!!

[nighthawkjac]

I loved it XD!!

[RedBull9791]

Does anyone know the name of the composer of this intro?

[cnh2132]

I think this game would've been truly great if Ashtar would've been the final boss and not Jaquio. I mean, after seeing that cool intro, it's a shame that Ashtar didn't have a much more important say in this game.

[Hempdaddy78]

Good memories, fucking one of the greatest NES games ever!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

I never argue with anyone who's right.

[herbie400]

best intro of all the NES ninja gaiden

[TemplarReturns]

Awesome fucking intro. Memories coming back all of a sudden

[sighyourhero]

Hard to believe this came out almost 20 years ago...

[Squeella86]

HarleyStcool u prolly got ur ass beat playn this song in ur head lol! jus joking u wit but hell yeah i remember this song when i was little too

[sickemdudley01]

The Dark Sword of Chaos....a standard of excellence.

[HarleyStcool]

i play this song in my head when i'm about to fight in a bar

[Chinvincible]

I'm not impressed unless you wear a huge black cloak as well.

[WhiteTaino]

I had this game in an emulator it was awesome. I never got far after the second level.

[KickinKilla]

1990! I was still in school!!!!!!!!

[elspoko]

ya this intro is fucking awesome.

[Zasssu]

I really love the music!

it's f*cking awsome!

[highwind8124]

Okay, somebody explain to me why this intro to this primitive NES game kicks the ass of 99% of the movie intros that come out of Hollywood?

Okay, film makers everywhere can suck a dick. This is how it's fucking done, you fucking morons. Now THIS is art.

[Anzariel]

it's because Talent have no ages

[eatkeniii]

@highwind8124 because Classics ALWAYS rule and NEVER die!

[gorgack2000]

@highwind8124 It's a great intro for an NES game, but I wouldn't go that far. If this was actually made into a film it'd be pretty shit. Just look at the mortal kombat and street fighter movies.

[piromaniac9999]

@highwind8124 The music is pretty cool and i like the gameplay.

[pwnmanEXE]

@highwind8124 It's mostly the music.

[ErdalNorx]

@highwind8124 TRUE art is how the things are made and not always is relationated with the damn quality. And this, obviosuly, is really great, specially in those times before.

And still is great. This surprised me, even I'm not accustomed with those old videogames. So I clap for this fantastic intro!

[ristoril]

@highwind8124 i thought montage with pauses during comedic lines was how its done ?

[BurbleCut01]

@highwind8124 That's because this shit is epic and when we seen the first one we NEEDED a sequel,movies today will NEVER reach that epic status

[Mechwarrioralpha]

@highwind8124 WTF?! purple and white= epic intro......hmmm......when was your last Time you have sex, and was it a Girl..?!

[solidpanther2000]

@highwind8124

buck yeah man tru dat!!!!

[TwilightSea]

@highwind8124 Roger Ebert can blow me for saying this isn't art. Old fuck needs to die already.

[ButtersEvilTwin]

"HA, HA, HA, HA..."

Really evil people know how have a good laugh...

[theoneandonlymememe]

Epic.

[thaillistproducer]

That instrumental is awesome!

[DMR3000]

They should like make a cartoon series out of this I've heard there's a anime movie of this I haven't seen it yet

[BaltoUAG]

i love this game, i love the intro , i would like that somebody make this same intro but with a orchestra!!

(sorry about my english)

[DMR3000]

this games was the best out of all Ninja Gaiden games I really don't like the XBOX versions that much graphics are good but storyline kinda geezy

[artmaster50]

My favorite game ever!!!

[shadowstealth]

I F*CKIN LOVED THIS GAME!!! but i could never get past the 3rd level =(

[hamhet]

Hi there this game is one of my favorite games of Nes. I made a cover music of this cinematic moment if you wanna see it check out my channel, thanks..

[ArmandoXIII]

I remember playing this game when i was 8, 17 years ago wow! this was by far the best intro in any game... EVER! I love the intro on the first game too but this is just too good. GREAT FUCKING GAME, I still have the original cartridge but i have no working NES, :P.

[shadowstealth]

me too my dad threw my NES out even though it was perfectly fine =(

[frenchman203]

One of my favorite games of all time. I hope I live to see a Ninja Gaiden movie.

[ArekExcelsior2]

There is an OVA, available on YouTube.

[Foxpod]

This intro still gives me chills. Wicked sick!

[DMR3000]

No matter how many times I play this game on my Wii this game intro always gives me goosebumps

[ArekExcelsior2]

With tinny sound, 8 bit graphics and scrolling text, Tecmo was able to make a villain seem more badass, cavalier and aloofly superior than all the CGI at FF7's disposal. Developers are lazy.

[rafametroid]

It's not that Square was lazy. Tecmo guys that were too good for them. =]

[ArekExcelsior2]

Nah, they made Kefka crazy badass in FF6. Square is perfectly capable of it.

[Astraknight]

Best Videogame intro ever.

[techromancer8406]

YAY! I'm not the only one who thinks this!!

[NackWeasel]

This is so Japanese it hurts. 5 stars. I loved this game.

[jpnarino]

I agree. The music, the bad guy overseeing the world from a cliff, the way bad and good guys relate to each other, everything is as japanese as it gets. This was a really cool game.

[cloudLeonhart23]

im so dowloadin this on the VC!!

[nighthawkjac]

looks to be a dark overlord.

[JoeyCage]

this song is the fucking shit!!!

one of the best VG songs ever

[sevin6068]

This song still gives me the chills.  One of the sickest video game songs ever. The cinematics make it that much better.

[CHIVAC0LA]

I can't believe this intro is better than many of new generation games.,.

I just love it.

[ndonadio]

This is one of the best intro in history and maybe the best intro in the NES.

Ninja Gaiden 2 for me is the best in the series.

[germyz64]

Agree this game remains the best of the franchise and one of the coolest intros ever for a NES game or even todays next-gen consoles.

[blwalla]

awesome awesome awesome post !!...anyone know where i can download this song? i've checked a couple of video game mp3 websites, this one isn't anywhere...i LOVED this game and i thought few others did...glad to see others liked it too!

[occurso]

Ashtar was so cool, sadly he was not the main enemy of this game.

[Entertainmentwf]

agreed, Ashtar would have been perfect but, you got to admit he weaved in Jaquio pretty well. But, this was an awesome intro, still I admire it.

[loksyn]

Yeah. By far one of the greatest intro's. Even today, they don't make them like these anymore.

[KEITHCOURAGE2010]

Man we saw this back when it first FIRSt came out at the MAll on the TV at the game store. Man we woke up EARLY to see the first glimps of this masterpeice!!

THE ALL TIME GREATEST NINJA GAME BAR NONE!!!

[LordODFlize]

Still one of my favorite game intros. The music is awesome.

[exquisiteoaf]

Damn this was awesome when this game first came out and I was a kid. I thought this intro was the coolest thing ever. It's about as good as NES graphics got.

[drodrinks]

ditto
