Excellent play through, all these years later and I had no idea that the jump and slash maneuver was so effective against bosses, I just assumed hit them with the sword twenty or so times, which apparently you only need to do with the last 2 bosses. My only complaint about this game compared to the sequels was the inability to climb up and down on walls unless a ladder is present, always found it an unnecessary extra on a game that was already very challenging. Believe it or not, the last time I played through and beat this game was in 1991 just before I got my Sega Genesis, not too long after the third game had come out. Lots of memories from back then just came up for me.
Didn't realize how much the sequel followed beat for beat of the original. Second one kinda perfected what the first one started I guess, still fun to watch the first one and see the subtle and not so subtle changes in art style. The second one kind does what the batman cartoon does, it LIVES in black, this start black and get filled in with color. That is the real standout in art style from the first to the last in the cut scenes.
+Christopher Willis Interesting subject. The first and the second game were made in the same style so they are closer to each others in term of there foundation but tecmo did upgrade a lot of features and changed some of the weapons for the second game. The third ninja gaiden was the one in the series that really show tecmo going off a different path and trying to change the series direction. We all have different point of views but i think that the ninja gaiden series feature the best cut-scenes for the system.
I miss my SEGA Genesis. Sometimes you jus CAN'T let go of a good thing...This was one of the many great games like CONTRA another great game to pass the time away🎮🎮👍😁
Guys, my mind is playing tricks on me! I would have bet money that when I beat NG as a kid it allowed me to use that spinning jump slash attack on the last boss. Like it's an extremely vivid memory of me making sure I had it for the end and then being super impressed with how fast I killed the boss. Am I crazy? Was there like different versions of the game or something? I remember thinking that they must have taken it out of NG2 because of how easy it made the bosses in NG1. That's how vivid the memory is.
It is possible to use spin slash on each form of the boss. You would have to die though, start back at the beginning of stage 8, work your way back up, pickup spin slash, make it to the boss again, and then use it
Mithona Rith Three words: Jump and Slash. Best ninja power in the game. That item can be found almost everywhere in the game from level one to level six.You can try to do my strategy and watch the boss crumbled like a house of cards. Good luck.
@Stimulator7 just hold down when u use your sword to attack or selecting an item(make sure not to get too close when slashing the item) when u have it. it wont waste any ninpou. there will come times when u will need to use it if you are to keep it throughout the level.
Sloth, how in the hell did u went through those flying ninjas in 6-2 without using the Jump N Slash power???? Their stars always bump me into my death!!! :(
kenterminatedbygoogle After jumping up the column if you just run to the left WITHOUT jumping you will land on the first platform 27:29 with the baseball bat guys back to you, kill him. Now the trick: While standing on the platform throw your red shuriken at the baseball bat guy and then immediately jump over to the platform he was on and duck. Your shuriken will pass over your head and begin to rebound, during the rebound it will kill two rocket-ninjas above. Immediately after the duck, jump left to the next platform and slash killing the ninja or shurkien if necessary.
Heroes of Xanadu - Sloth Ok, I got that. How about after you jump off the higher platform (where the Jump N Slash power is), how do you jump and attack those pink ninjas (without the Jump N Slash power) to get to the platform where the next candle is placed????
kenterminatedbygoogle After that, either jump and throw another shuriken on top of the screen to clear the ninjas and jump under the projectile to the lower platform or use the "jump n slash" again if you already have the power-up. Another option is to throw the Fire Storm. When used, Ryu will throw 3 fireballs circling upward through the air. This ability is excellent against the rocket ninjas on the top platform and the bottom platform that come after. All the previous step can be done with the normal Katana.
Heroes of Xanadu - Sloth No, I meant after I jump off the high platform (where the jump n slash power is), I have to deal with a few more ninjas and their shurkens that most likely gonna bump me into my death! :(
While Tecmo anticipated that the game would be a hit, they did not realize at the time its impact it would have in the video game industry.
The Ninja Gaiden Trilogy Begins With Ninja Gaiden For Your Nintendo Entertainment System From Tecmo!
I never played this but it's nostalgic.
Awesome run,you actually did a amazing job with the "secondary" weapons.
Abobo Akumajou Thanks you.The spinning jump and slash is the best weapon in the game...
Great run of an awesome game! You did a really good job on defeating this hard game, which need some dedication and persistence! :-)
Angelostar88 Thanks you! Patience and determination ... i memorized all the items in the game! I never found any "Jump & Slash" item in Level three.
Best.Game.Ever. 🙌🙌☝️☝️

Heroes of Xanadu - Sloth To be honest, I can't even name a game with cut scenes on NES worth mentioning besides NG!
That was a cool game and story!
Well done. I could never get past the final boss
you are wonderful!!
Seiji Sawamura Thanks!
I miss my SEGA Genesis. Sometimes you jus CAN'T let go of a good thing...This was one of the many great games like CONTRA another great game to pass the time away🎮🎮👍😁
Only when you're a ninja can you forgive the girl who shot you then shoot it in!!!

@@JYGamerDad - Thank you. I thought I was going crazy and doubting every childhood memory I ever had! LOL
Only the love story looks silly.
Jammin!
Meus parabéns pela conquista,sempre perco para o jaquio quando estou tentando zerar o jogo sem morrer!
Finally i see end game
I still cant believe I beaten this game once
How you kill the bosses so fast?

Did you use Game Genie or a cheat? I am having a hard time believing it was this simple with the jump slash.
Man I wish I coulda beat some of them bosses that fast-- That was sick! And that jump & slash is a necessity on level 6.
@Stimulator7 just hold down when u use your sword to attack or selecting an item(make sure not to get too close when slashing the item) when u have it. it wont waste any ninpou. there will come times when u will need to use it if you are to keep it throughout the level.
nice
Vincent Blood Thanks you for watching my Longplay of Ninja Gaiden Vincent!

Where is the rain scene?
Sloth, how in the hell did u went through those flying ninjas in 6-2 without using the Jump N Slash power????
Their stars always bump me into my death!!! :(
