The Music of Video Games [06] Ninja Gaiden II

[samm001]

love the music but why not put it in order of level on this one and the first you missed a couple.

[Melylareputamadre]

DAMN! I was like 30 minutes searching for the first song (I don't remember name nor what Ninja Gaiden game it was) finally I found it! thanks!

[xxxkurumuxxx]

Esta hackeado el juego??? es que veo que todos los golpes que recibe el personaje solo le hacen 1 de daño

[Ravur3k]

if I had a video for my lifestory, this would be the music playing throughout.

[phuturephunk]

Right on cue, my eyes start twitching every single time one of those FUCKING GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING FALCONS...ahem, sorry...comes on the screen.

[mulierbubo]

thanks, this is just excelent ,and you play like god!,

[dakatubes]

kicks ass, ninja gaiden 1 had the best ost though :P

[3afterPM]

@ mm2008nin Please do not make me attempt at referencing that movie. For the good of humanity.

[cocolaboom]

I remember getting this game after playing the original and thinking, "HOLY SHITCOWS! YOU CAN CLIMB UP THE WALLS AND DON"T HAVE TO JUMP!"

[mm2008nin]

You could raise some serious hell with those three ninjas.

[CMOODO]

not near as good as the first ones boss theme but, still great!!

[marsdrivein]

where's the heck is 4-1? is fire cavern that unpopular?! >:(

[MirageR5]

The first track in this game was amazing. I still love it!

[GialloHorror]

I have to say, I've never played this game, but I wil someday. Unfortunately by 1990, I was 14 and had to have Sega Genisis. If I'd only known, or appreciated the stuff back then because,dam, I miss everything 80's and early 90's.

[ShadowCrowX]

3:10 THAT DRUM ROLL TO KICK OFF SUCH A GREAT TUNE oh man

[MegaPhilX]

0:55 is epiiiiiic!

[assholekiller666]

3:30 does start the best song

[Varacus]

O_o no intro music for this one?  And the main boss music? Best music in the game.

[go7school]

The beginning track should be stage two.

[sublyme33]

3:30....classic

[klasicktha1]

3-1!!!!!!!! awesome!!!!!!!

[DusLife]

CLASSIC!!!

[crombmonkey53]

the first one is the best is there any rock remixes

[MrPAIES]

i wish newer video games had the same devotion and attention to detail as the music here

[Voliko1]

track two is awesome

[3sstudent]

speedruns are hella fun.

track starting at 1:38 used to OWN me

[justiniani1]

one of the best OST´s for a video game ever, competing against Castlevania III, Need for speed Hot Pursuit and Final Fantasy VII!

[Loneman1]

Great game........I can beat the original almost with my eyes closed, yet I never could seem to easily get the rhythm of Jaquio in this one. Go figure.

[JustinEvitable80]

Its good and all but I wish it had the Train/Ice Level music. That one was my favorite from this game

[kropking]

This may be just me, but I really don't like speed runs. Seems like they cheapen the game somehow...

Video games are art... slow it down... take time to immerse yourself in the environment...

[chunktuff]

ya but its just too see how fast the game can be beaten.. its not to actually enjoy the game

[kibjohn]

Sorry, but I have to agree with kropking. TAS's are just a way for entertainment, but at the same time,

1. It ruins the challenge of the game

2. I rather play the game for enjoyment.

[chunktuff]

i dont disagree with him im just saying that speedruns arent done to enjoy the game necessarily they are done to see how fast you could go through the game if you did it all perfectly.. i myself enjoy watching a person go through as fast as he can.. i dont enjoy TAS's near as much as if the guy were to have played using his own skill but its fun to see them sometimes:D

[jshatney]

This video isn't of a TAS

[Syndo]

yeah but at the same time video games are a test of skill and wat better to test your skill than see how fast u can get through, with a game like ninja gaiden i like playin fast music like at 1:00 makes me wanna play quick and hes a ninja hes suppose to move fast while fuckin enemies up at the same time, i feel u tho but after already knowin the game speed run all day

[lopytube]

understandable.

demo dont hurt every now and then

[zombones]

argh no intro music voted ONNENEEE

[Challseus]

Loved the ending themes, which I think was called something like "Ryu & Irene". Now that I think about it, there was a code to listen to all music from the main menu. Ah, good times!

[Marvelman84]

OH WHAT THE!? HUH?

[kropking]

???

[Darkinfiniti]

Yes...lol...both Ninja Gaidens were my fav. NES games of all time. The story, the music, the good times. Too bad games have evolved into such monotonous garbage. Generally speaking. Oh the memories.

[BMTSoulja1]

I love 0:55.  Mysterious and majestic!

[Camwi]

Hell yes. One of the many great tracks in this game.

[DrDraco]

Great game and music... On a side note, this game gave me nightmares as a kid, lol.

[NightGod07]

This music would be really complex and difficult to play in a band unless you have years of experience. Best game soundtrack of NES!

[solidsnake874]

whoever is playing this game is freakin sick! this was like one of the hardest gamves i ever played! btw, the music at 3:31 is the Parasprinter! awesome theme!! cant wait til NG2 sigma comes to ps3! hope they fix the alleged bad cam angles...imo no music beats NG2 for Nes tho from the NG series...

[ibanrpo]

No man, you`re wrong. The parasprinter is the track that starts at 0:55. In fact is the NES Song used in most remixes

[fuked86]

i have the xbox ninja gaiden i unlocked all 3 of the original ninja gaidens but they fuked up the music lol

[jelloegg]

So...who's the red ninja?

[mistaphill]

The red ninja comes from a power up, just a duplicate of your player

[mistaphill]

great music on this one. this was my favorite of the 3 NES games

[BabyFantasia]

Man, this SO takes me back.

[delarge84]

This team who made Ninja Gaiden (Shadow Warriors) for NES were so much better than Itagaki crap CO.

[cheapspace]

HEAR HEAR!!!!

[rajayuca]

i wish a ninja gaiden movie would come out, specially with this soundtrack.....

[nalpw]

Ninja gaiden, great saga for nes!, like the 3:30 minute music!!!

[accionmigrania]

What level is this?

[agetro82]

I think its the 4th stage. Where its raining and you fight some tarantula-man boss at the end.

[JokinJoe]

That first song rocks

[WingedDesperado]

I remember the box for this game had a sticker on it saying "HARD TO BEAT" and it really was, but man this guy makes it look so easy lol

[LtSarge]

I've always loved the 1st level track the most. It just oozes with awesome 8 bit joy. I think it starts around 330

[ultramegamanx454]

this music just killed all my depression away, ninja style

[malylestat]

the best game of nintendo...

el mejor juego de nintendo....

sin palabras....

no words...

[OneWingedSTX]

Aww this music always brings back memories of 1990 when I first got this game...Damn I wish it was 1990 again. Being a grown up sucks :P

[thegreatsamurai82]

well said, it also brings me back to 1990 when i was 8 years old

[TESOblivion4]

wow i was born then

[PeoplesBadmash]

i was 18 back then o_O lol

[OneWingedSTX]

I turned 10 that year : ) My entire summer was spent playing this game and Super Mario Bros. 3 with my best friend...hearing this makes me want to look him up and talk about old times.

[thegreatsamurai82]

My friend came home with me on the bus when i was 8 in 1990, he brought with him Super Mario Bros 3, I never saw or played it before, got it for x-mas that year.

[FloMonKish]

good times yo!

[Bigbudd0045]

@OneWingedSTX agreed, i feel cheated, other then beer i see no advantages to being grown up, now i have to work for a living.

[fuckcomments]

@OneWingedSTX no fuckin shit

[samus179]

@OneWingedSTX what do you mean? cant you just play the game again even if you are not a kid?

[agurobe6]

@OneWingedSTX yes sr

[Alianger]

The first one is a lot better!

[Danovio]

i wish the new ninja gaiden games were more like the old ones. atleast the music cus its waaaaaaaaay better then the new ones:P

[Chrno34]

Now that is some impressive 8-bit gameplay. It's aged rather well considering.

[ogskeetdizzle]

holy fuck it's been 19yrs already , i still remember getting this game when it came out, i owned ninja gaiden 1 , which i only beat once ever, then this came out i was stoked lol.

[sydislam]

I love those orange shadow ninjas. I wish they were in the next gen Ninja Gaiden games.

[LIFD2398]

Man i just listened this and go nostalgic, great game, i never beated this neither battletoads, thanks for uploading :)

[theblackpacomurder]

this game is beatable Battletoads is impossible

Ninja Gaiden soundtracks is awesome

[ogskeetdizzle]

i beat battletoads once, you have to use the warps for sure

[NobsHairo]

the 0:53 track remind me my cousin dead back in 94

[HarleyStcool]

10 bucks ur cousin isn't a ninja

[NobsHairo]

tru. he used to play this game to much and the day than a ray killed him i saw him playing that level so that's why

[AtheistsAreGODS]

Who's Ray? i hope he's in jail!! Also for killing Steve Erwin he should be on death row!

[goborem]

is dat even necessary 2 say?

[Teabonesteak]

The song playing at the 2 min mark is pretty tight!

[agetro82]

Oh shit, the very first song was really cool. Sometimes i still play that song in my head while its raining lol.

[Potrod64]

Anybody ever play the SNES remake? I was looking forward to hearing updated versions of these awesome tracks, but they butchered most of them. Very disappointing.

[actionfigures95]

awesome music all around. This is the only NG I have been able to beat. Almost destroys my fingers doing it, but it was well worth it

:-)

[Yerizzo]

:55 baby! That's the equivalent of 4-1 or was it 4-2 of the first Ninja Gaiden. But there are a lot of good songs too.

[WrestlingOtaku]

This was my favorite game from the Ninja Gaiden series, and it has some awesome tracks. The first level's theme is extremely catchy and you'll have a hard time getting it out of your head. Of course, the same could be said of almost any of these tracks.

[Danovio]

for being the second ninja gaiden it was really advanced for its time

[delfimimish]

ninja gaiden I music its better than this...i think

[SadjaSarrette]

I don't know, pretty much all the NG2 musics are good. In the 1st I only liked the music of the first stage.

[Ikemen85]

Does anybody know what is the name of the song at 1:38 and where can I get it from?

[AlucardsQuest]

I think it's called No End Darkness, and you can get it from the Ninja Gaiden homepage, (you'll need a fileplanet account, but you can get one for free).

[danidexerez]

3:31 ^^

[anomaly1978]

mine is 2:25, i've had that damn track stuck in my head since the game came out and I played and beat it. I'm 30 years old (2008) and I still love that beat and always play it in my head.

[doppleganger4827]

Lots of great tracks here, especially the intro music. Music aside, I love how each level has its own special obstacle to it (wind in 2nd one, darkness in 3rd).

[LetsBurnHoles]

1:39 BEST SONG EVER

[DanraduPCT]

You´re Right. Is Fantastic.

[yuutokun]

I want to lick your eyeball. Ok?

[Aurone]

My favorite is at :55.

[melosebrainuhoh]

Mine too. I figure I'll still remember it when I'm an old man.

[IXXSHITXXONXXYOU]

lol u put the unworking screen behind :)

[penpen123]

NG2 has the best music tracks in the series

[chainslaughter231]

cant wait 4 ninja gaiden 2 on xbox 360

[rockstarjustin3000]

Right On! This is my fav. Ninja Gaiden Game to Date!

[3sstudent]
