[acmilan2511]

[MaZINGErDeSTro]

This song is assssssssss!!!Nah just kidding its epic and AVGN brought me here!!!

[ShotokanEditor]

Tecmo logo and then to the right

 THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE LOL XD

[moonslayere]

This is probably my favorite NES song in the entire NES library in existance. 2nd would have to be The Guardian Legend: Ice Dungeon. :)

[TheStapleGunKid]

@moonslayere

Don't forgot the Double Dragon theme song. That may be the overall best

[FireBomberBassist]

Youtube needs a repeat button.

[Goldendriger]

@FireBomberBassist Because?

[FireBomberBassist]

@Goldendriger I mean repeat button. Bad typo.

[ZEPICPAWNZER421]

Best song in the game who agrees?

[ZEPICPAWNZER421]

I could listen to this for 10 hours anyone agree

[ZEPICPAWNZER421]

Tecmo kicks ass compare to music in games especially with this , and tecmo super bowl

[garomastervideos]

Hate those motherfucking birds.

[ZEPICPAWNZER421]

9 people couldnt beat ninja gaiden, and were like the AVGN

[ZEPICPAWNZER421]

When i hear this song i think of a really epic fight like dragon ball z or naruto something

[MaskedMetroid]

Nunchuk FUCK!

[kricku]

... Ninja gaiden brought me here

[acrobatsutr]

ProtonJon and AVGN brought me here

[OrcsRule44]

Warriors Orochi Ryu's theme remixed this song officially guys.

[AndElite]

Naruto and 8 of his clones disliked this video.

[blott1978]

Thumbs up if you actually remember seeing this cover art on the game or rental store shelves....ah good times....

[tarkanardil]

wtf is warriors orochi

[ningen112]

@tarkanardil It's a hack n slash game developed by koei-tecmo..in warriors orochi 3(musou orochi 2 in japan) Ryu Hayabusa is a guest character and his music theme is a remix of this one just add /watch?v=4jaIUlz-wNU if you like the original you have to listen to this it's really awesome..

[tjia1452]

@tarkanardil watch?v=4jaIUlz-wNU

[dannotemail]

Awesome!

[daledenton1132]

look how ripped that dude is.

[ClassicalGaMerZ]

Kick ass music

[legorulez49]

AVGN, shinobi, shadowman, espio the cameloen, naruto, and ALL the lego ninjago ninja's disliked this video

[hammerbros97]

@legorulez49 Why AVGN???

[legorulez49]

@hammerbros97 you dont remember that episode? he loved the game, he just couldnt beat it

[TheAlphaTeam1]

I love it! XD totally thumbs up :)

[TheAlphaTeam1]

Yeah! This song is awesome :) reminds me of castlevania

[ATGhostMode]

this game really IS the fight for your life...

[TheDynastyWarrior13]

Ryu Hayabusa vs Hanzo Hattori vs Kotaro Fuma, oh how I love Warriors Orochi 3

[nepomusik]

The Orochi version of this theme is finally listenable on here, and god damn, it really does the original tune justice.

[ChameleonAlpha]

the song is also in the credits. is THAT awesome

[Ravur3k]

I declare April 2nd (4-2) as Ninja Gaiden day, where all you do is eat birds, listen to this song, and kill all the people that fooled you the day before.

[TVgamer25]

ahhhh, the good old days when ninja's were actually ninja's and not posers

[nonobaOMGWEEGEE2]

9 People rage quit

[KenjiHokusai]

nyan blocher brougth me here xD

[finalfanta15]

So who else remembers always holding the select and start button at the same time to glitch it so you could listen to this level without losing your timer?

[TVgamer25]

Ryu Hayabasa could kick Naruto's ass anyday

[TVgamer25]

I actually beat this when i was 6, i'm not trying to prove anything it was still hard as shit. especially the third final boss

[xDXPxJOEx456x1]

this game is so much fun but its so fucking hard

[samstens]

thumbs up if this was your favorite game to play growing up

[Soundwave401]

Thumbs up if you saw the Nerd's Training montage when he reviewed this game

[bonestorm99]

This reminds me of the old hispanic music my mother listens to. It's weird how the old games can being back memories, even if you've never played them.

[boltox]

When you hear this in the end credits it is the most satisfying song in the NES hall of fame

[MiTsuNari134]

The Musou Orochi 2 remix is fucking fantastic!

I cant wait to play the game and listen to the full track!!

[Bombanski]

great song :)

[pelletier1986]

This song is, hands down, the greatest reward this game can hand you after beating that final boss (beside TOTAL satisfaction, of course).

[MrSandaion]

This my friends. IS FUCKING REAL MUSIC

[LFixxxer]

C'mon AVGN you can do it!!!!!

[soandsotwo]

@LFixxxer

Ninja: Before you jump, you must think.

James: ARGH!

Ninja: Before you think, you must look..

James: *fails* I looked, i looked!

Ninja: Before you look, you must feel!

James: *fails* FUCK!

Ninja: Before you can fuck, you must use proper protection.

[ThauN4SceNe1]

I hear the Gerudo too...

[AnSyTheMolodoy]

I'll trade his g.v.s. kunai and half-zatoichi for 8 max heads...

[MrThomVD]

Man, that one part with the birds and the ninjas was impossible.

[deddrunk]

@MrThomVD haha... just gotta keep moving man...

[MrThomVD]

@deddrunk I did complete the game :) But that bridge part of this stage was one of the hardest parts for me.

[MetagrossOverlordX]

This song embodies just what the box says:

"The Fight of Your Life"

[t0f0b0]

One of the BEST pieces of video game music in history!

[wolftickets1969]

Reminds me of Zanac, which also had awesome music for its time.

[MegaCuber123]

Every time I hear this I just think AVGN!

[TheBiggestHaterEVER]

Does anyone hear a little bit of Gerudo Valley here? Or is it just me?

[HKEJ93]

@TheBiggestHaterEVER You´re not the only one. I thought the exact same thing when I first heard it because of how similar the bass are.

[Calgore71]

"In order to beat the game, the game must beat you..."

-The Ninja from the AVGN Ninja Gaiden episode

[YoUrMoMsRiGhThErE]

this theme = getting smacked by birds right in the middle of the forehead.

[TheBlahamuras]

Shale obviously played this game :)

[007jdark]

every time i played this stage i turned it up super loud

[lunejersey]

fire sound like a bachata beat

[glitchedgamer]

Best song in the game right here. Fucking awesome rushing through the mine with this blasting from the TV.

[oOZellzimaOo]

Best game I have ever played as a child! :D

[AlllexL]

RUN RUN RUN! JUMP JUMP JUMP! SLASH SLASH SLASH!

FALL INTO PIT! OH, SH*T!

[Scirzorz]

HARD TO BEAT!!

[Blitz46002]

828 lost to the Final Boss, Sent to 6-1 but kept playing like a man.

[AmAxel35]

*banging thumbs on a fan at 0:33* 8DDDDD

[realskinsvik]

Mario cross over n.n

[KilleRotom]

1.*insert AVGN quote here*

2.Get loads of thumbs up

3.?????

4.PROFIT

[SofaKingsProductions]

This is definitely one of my all-time favourite songs, but god damn Ninja Gaiden was difficult

[HabAnagarek]

@SofaKingsProductions I concur. Left me in a puddle of sweat and blood.

[XinKotetsu]

Jump and Slash was so overpowered.

[LquidOcelot]

ninja gaiden i havent heard that name in ages i heard it also called ninja gayden ninja gaiden is a secret art only the best players can defeat it.

[wormwood5073]

20 years later I'm still getting my ass handed to me.

[martin9172]

42, the answer to everything.

4-2? Close enough.

[jarmonz]

best freaking song on the NES, followed by Dr.Wiley's stage song

[freelancehero]

Yet another example of how some of the best video game music originated on 8-bit NES games.

[bananaboy230]

Like and Favorite

ONE M0:00RE TIME!!!!!!!!!

[simbachutchutta]

Dude I would become a ninja if doing so meant that this could be my theme song. I freaking love this game.

[StarlightKonata]

@simbachutchutta You wouldn't become a ninja for the millions of other perks?

[FlaskFlash]

Ah... the boss door, well, here i come. *Jump* FUUUCKIIIIIING BIIIRD!!

[2345Disciple]

[walkharder]

[ManWithFreedom]

@walkharder avgn ;)

[ocelot113]

Can someone please for the love of god make a good remake of this on guitar and not 8-bit or techno or a mixture of them. I just want a straight up rock Jimmeh02 remake.

[nejnej00]

Im just gonna sit back and listen to this song one last time before I go to bed but damn is it hard.. 2:00 am atm.

[villevn]

Well, at least the music is awesome! xD Made a guitar cover out of this, go check it out!

Thanks for sharing man! :)

[bigmofodeal]

fuckin birds

[SSBroly965]

I will admitt i never this game. I did beat NG2 though when i was younger i have it on my wii and god i have no idea how the hell i beat that game at all. I can get to the end but god the game mechanics of making you restart all the time with no checkpoints sucks. Still a great game series though.

[jerkastan]

this is my jam.

[GrounderTheRobot]

POOTPOOTPOOTPOOTPOOT

[Ngamerguy78]

4th best song ever!

[MrUzisuicyde]

Only the worthy can 1 shot this game.The rest of you are......meh.

[magenkyokakashi]

Hit that replay button .. :D

[musicman243]

@magenkyokakashi Hit Replay? Bitch, I practically raped the damn thing into a coma!

[magenkyokakashi]

@musicman243 Glad to know ' bitch ' .....

[magenkyokakashi]

want a challenge ? .. play silver surfer for nes ...iam mentally scared for life..

[DragonAurora]

@magenkyokakashi LOLOL...I remember downloading that game for my NES emulator and after about 2 minutes I was like, "FUCK THIS!" X^D

[tiagocardosom]

@magenkyokakashi go play transformers for the FAMICOM (japanese NES)

[magenkyokakashi]

@tiagocardosom I will try it .. I downloaded the emulator and all the games yesterday.

[itwasme356]

@magenkyokakashi it might be hard but that doesnt stop it from sucking balls

[BaronOfBacon]

If this song doesn't make you determined to beat this game, then nothing will. THIS song is the reason I beat Ninja Gaiden 1 (and on a good old grey box NES no less :D )

[HikaruTokeshi]

I had to be dragged away from this game to stop playing;foaming,spitting clawing and cursing from frustration.

[Mushroomifer]

This song is the best. Nuff said.

[KatiushaVN4]

8 people didn't have good childhood 

[Dogfire45]

I have this as My Ringtone and now its Fucking epic everytime someone calls me :D O.o wait i dont answer my phone anymore now xD

[GuitarPlayer2606]

@Dogfire45 How did you make it your ringtone?

[Dogfire45]

@GuitarPlayer2606 i recorded this with my phone xD

[GuitarPlayer2606]

@Dogfire45 I did too..but its shitty

[Dogfire45]

@GuitarPlayer2606 actually i DL the soundtrack go to this guys channel GBelair and he has a link to his site where he has the Soundtracks of a lot of classic NES games :D DL it there and its crystal clear ^-^

[FafnirTheBlackDragon]

Most epic song in gaming history...and hardest game...

[xtrem3rd]

...Falcons.

RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW­WWWWWWGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

[gtrfurby]

7 people forgot to jump to NOT catch the windmill stars

[AmAxel35]

0:33 = AVGN's thumb-training

[AbhorrentSin]

7 people got cut up by Ryu

[MrLOL9999]

sure, modern games have their fancy guitar solos that go scales higher than the moon, but this music rapes modern games' music.

[Man1cmanMario]

@MrLOL9999 Well, not ALL epic/memorable modern games have that stuff. Fire Emblem, F-Zero GX with its techno, and Viewtiful Joe say hi. But yeah, I see what you mean. Games have become too "must-have-blood-cursing-graph­ics-and-hard-killer-rock-music­-to-be-good". Not that I'm complaining about the hard rock part, but the rest of it's gone a little over-the-top, if you know what i mean.

[iszalgocomin]

LYRICS: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAA

[SURPLUSNiNjA]

@iszalgocomin funny thats the same as the sound coming from me while playing this game, except with a lot less, damn its, fucks, shits and son of a bitches in between.

[TriggerheartExcelica]

Is anyone else reminded of Darius I at 0:20?

[AlexConley]

Epic music is epic.

[blaskowitzj]

Before my very difficult interview for grad school, I listened to this song 3~4 times to get me pumped and I aced the interview. The Ryu's determination indeed...

[SilverSoul71]

i am constantly dying in this game, but whenever i turn this music on and watch AVGN: Ninja Gaiden i get inspired and eventually i beat the game

NES music is awesome! if u like this, listen to megaman 2: metalman's theme

[taterfyrings]

6 people lost for the final boss, and ragequitted when they were sent back to level 6-1

[assais]

@taterfyrings HAHAHA NOTHing like SAVE AND LOAD STATE on the NES emulator

[roman6a]

@assais you pussy out... but tis' ok... this game is hard.

[assais]

@roman6a hahaahahha hard and incredibly frustrating!

[ThEeCodE]

@assais cant handle the game by your own?

[ZyklnAeon]

@taterfyrings thanks to avgn I know what you are talking about so I can put one thumb up

[tommylehman]

@taterfyrings I almost broke my NES after having that happen to me. 

[nitrocan]

@taterfyrings I think all of us ragequit there at least once my friend.

[Bittergamer1886]

@taterfyrings That would pretty much be everyone...

[moonsmilelucide]

@taterfyrings we've all been there hehe

[Veke99]

@taterfyrings you're a fucking idiot

[Blitzwing989]

@taterfyrings i know i did, who wouldnt?

[dakatubes]

while this theme plays, im invincible to birds

[assais]

@dakatubes lol awesome comment dude

[dakatubes]

@assais hehe :D

[huhabah]

@dakatubes :D Show those fucking eagles who's boss!

[WillieB2100]

Birds, green ninjas...all over de screen...wicked, yall, lol!!!

[SuperStarly212]

Every time I listen to this I think of epic, 8-bit arcade music.

[Lossantoscj210]

Love this game just finish playing it ;) the ones that were beatin by birds were the ones that werent paying attention ...the birds were my fav part at this stage ...u know ur good when u go thru this whole stage without even stoping once to breath ....;)

[Shadow11614]

to bad the modern games don't have cool music like this anymore

[Shadow11614]

@Shadow11614

well except there are some cool music in modern games like zelda, sonic, mario, kingdom hearts, final fantasy, and more memorable games

modern game music aren't as good as the past video game music but are still good

all modern game music are okay..... except call of duty

[Bugfish101]

@Shadow11614 There isn`t realy "music" in cod, you can call it "soundeffects" lol

[Luigidude124]

This. Song. Is. So. Damn. Epic.

[nintendude57]

8 bit music at its finest!!! the nostalgia!! T_T

[ABWorsham4]

When playing this game Act 4-2 was a nice break, time to dance. Love this music!

[coolguy0999]

After watching the castle and then hearing this song i felt i could do anything....

then a bird own me

[lordmiggel]

LOL @ Statistics ... Huge viewboost after AVGN reviewed the game ^^

[enemY1990]

birds>ninjas

[Man1cmanMario]

@enemY1990 It REALLY goes Ryu Hayabusa>birds>ninjas XD

[Shadow11614]

kinda sounds like the gerudo valley theme from ocarina of time

[HaloCharisma]

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS...

seriously, for those 6 people... FUCK YOU...

[ThunderRock41]

this music makes me feel two things--excitement of adventure and HATRED OF BIRDS AND FLIPPING NINJA ENEMIES :( :( :(

[l33tpwnzord]

The Advantage does a sick version of this

[kvn11rcks]

WOOHOO!! I just pased this without being hit!

[Met0r]
