@thewhitewolf7241 I totally agree! I was 9 when this game released and was so excited to get it. I felt like I had conquered the world when I finally beat it, so to watch it just get demolished like this is wild hahaha
This is a really interesting conversation for me because I was born after 2000, too late to see the NES era, my first device was I believe (after some quick research) a gameboy advance SP, which I barely remember owning, never mind playing, then a ds lite.
This guy is so chill and absolutely destroying these difficult games. Arcus your demeanor is very refreshing. Keep up the work. Always good to be upbeat and relaxed
Good bleeps and bloops. Good booms, good slices, good bzzzts. Swag stars and plenty of spice. Everything a good Arcus video needs. Keep spinning and winning. Congrats on the pb! GGs
It took half my childhood to even reach act 4. It was only later in life I finally beat this game using an emulator and save point. You are a bonafide freak in a good way.
Mash Mash Mash! and... Clunk! It is very relaxing to see how you overcome so easily a videogame that for many of us was an absolute challenge almost impossible to complete. Greetings from Colombia!
Congrats on the run, love to see it! What's crazy is that without the knock back on 4-1, knock forward on 5-1 and eggs benny, that demon is no longer riche-killable I'll bet. Baby game!
Thank you for slaying this so I didn't have too, seriously, being able to enjoy this vicariously through you has put a lot of demons to rest for me and I say thank you sir.
He had some minor hiccups and made some stops here and there just to land safe but with a run like this one without those things, plus the right kills (not saying it's easy, cuz definitely is not) it can save more than 1 second for sure. He just need to keep grinding!
I have just seen the sumoning salt video about your run and i have to congratulate you for all your effort, you made history guy. maybe in the future I can start playing and get the record for myself.
You sir got the respect from younger me (25 years ago) I have picked up my our old family NES today and actually played it a bit with my father (71y) and brought up so many memories. This was by far my favorite game altough never even finished it. What a rush to see and all the music is so epic! Well done man!
It amazes me that a game that caused so many of us grief in our childhood is now being shredded in less than 12 minutes
Ninja Gaiden is definitely doable because it is predictable. Ghostd and Goblins otoh...

It boggles me to no end.
Its still causing grief
This guy is so chill and absolutely destroying these difficult games.
Arcus your demeanor is very refreshing.
Keep up the work.
Always good to be upbeat and relaxed
Holy moly! Congrats on your new PB! This can definitely be improved, we are getting really close to the WR, let's keep rolling! ✊
Good bleeps and bloops. Good booms, good slices, good bzzzts. Swag stars and plenty of spice. Everything a good Arcus video needs. Keep spinning and winning. Congrats on the pb! GGs
That was an insane run. That WR will soon be yours.
Congrats on this new PB! A long time coming, so glad you achieved it!
Thanks for the fucking spoiler.
Thank you.
The king is coming to reclaim his throne. That was an incredible run Arcus, very excited to see you push your time even lower.
Arcus is by far my favorite speed runner, great run, congrats on the PB, you're close to regain the WR in this game
Man, when Arcus is truly in his groove it's just so satisfying to watch. Congrats on the fantastic PB Arcus!
It took half my childhood to even reach act 4. It was only later in life I finally beat this game using an emulator and save point. You are a bonafide freak in a good way.
Same, can you imagine seeing this back in the day?
That one knock back could've been the WR, keep it running Arcus!!!
To be that good at something is absolutely ridiculous! Congratulations, arcus. Up next, reclaim the throne.
Great job Arcus! WR is next! Keep at it!!!
GGs man!!! And nice GLOD on Act 6! Congrats on the PB Arcus!!
“By my standards” whatever Arcus you are the standard. WR or not we all know you’re the Ninja Gaiden 🐐
Congrats! Nobody else in speedrunning was ever more deserving of a PB
There is nothing more precious in this world than a happy arcus reaction
Excellent. I'm impressed to see you lower your personal best by nearly 4 seconds from a solid world record from a few years ago.
Well done sir! Always a pleasure to watch a super clean Ninja Gaiden run.
Congrats A man! I can't wait for you to reclaim the top spot. This game is the goat of speed runs. Most classic NES game.
Arcus will bring the WR back to the Arcus community soon. GG🎉
The reason why he got a PB is he had excellent bleeps and bloops which ended with a good clunk.
How serendipitous, I just watched AVGN’s Ninja Gaiden video yesterday and now this video drops. Mind blown
I am so glad for you arcus, big GGs! 🎉
Crazy playthrough, damn. God tier!
Mash Mash Mash! and... Clunk! It is very relaxing to see how you overcome so easily a videogame that for many of us was an absolute challenge almost impossible to complete.
Greetings from Colombia!
That run if you didn’t get that knock back 😮 what a run Arcus!!!
Excellent! WR is within reach. Doesn't matter though because today is your day and I'm super pumped for you! Upward and onward!
Arcus creepin’. Congrats. If not for that one knock back in act 4, and missing optimal kill in act 3 boss, this might have been WR!!!
Insanity, Arcus!! Was awesome to watch!!
That Jaquio run was incredible! Congrats altogether!
Just incredible. 🎉 Thanks for brightening my evening.
I would love to see Arcus and Retro Runner race this sometime. Would be a show!
Congratulations cowboy, you will always be the all time great Ninja gaiden and burritos speedrunner 🙏
Congrats, Arcus. So glad to see you’re getting closer and closer.
GG. Great job. You'll always be the WR holder to me.
Congrats on the run, love to see it! What's crazy is that without the knock back on 4-1, knock forward on 5-1 and eggs benny, that demon is no longer riche-killable I'll bet.
Baby game!
Thank you for slaying this so I didn't have too, seriously, being able to enjoy this vicariously through you has put a lot of demons to rest for me and I say thank you sir.
Always love seeing an upload of new Ninja Gaiden PB or WR, awesome run dude 💪
Wowzerz, that was a spicy run, bravo!
Awesome run, congrats on the PB!
Much deserved, GG, Arcus!
Congrats!! That was a thrill to see and the final CLUNK after a run like this must be so satisfying. Amazing job, especially those last boss fights!
Now that's a spicy PB. Heckin well done!
Go go go go Arcus! Much deserved!
With all my depression and anxiety this really made my night, congratulations buddy
Bro, nice work. That was crazy. I saw the thumbnail, I read the title, I still kept thinking this wr. Awesome run, man.
Congratulations on the PB it’s well deserved. 🎉
This was awesome, congrats again Arcus!
Congrats on the great run
COME ON ARCUS!!!
You are the Ninja Gaiden guru, you are the only one who can smash that WR to bits, and we BELIEVE in you!!!
Really good run! I know eeking out that last second is a killer, but I think you can WR.
He had some minor hiccups and made some stops here and there just to land safe but with a run like this one without those things, plus the right kills (not saying it's easy, cuz definitely is not) it can save more than 1 second for sure. He just need to keep grinding!
Well done. I enjoy watching your NG speed runs a lot. One of the best games ever!
I showed my son your Stars Wars video and he watches it at least five times a days. He loves it!
2 seconds behind WR!
Congrats Arcus!
God Bless you ALL!
Congrats on the PB!! You are the best streamer there is
The Swag-Star was for real in this run.
That was simply amazing. Congratulations!
Gosh that was nuts. Always exciting to get a new one of these every few months.
Holy cow! Not that long ago this would'a been a heck of a WR, too
Dude that was awesome! Get that world record back!
I have just seen the sumoning salt video about your run and i have to congratulate you for all your effort, you made history guy.
maybe in the future I can start playing and get the record for myself.
God Mineptas
Wow! What an absolute run! That plate was thing of beauty but that save at 6:45 in 5-1 was just sublime. GG
CONGRATS on making a Summoning Salt video!
You're in there, Arcus! Happy to support you!
That was a fantastic run! So close to WR it's crazy!
What is the world record, out of curiosity?
@@woodchuk1 It's 11m 33.7s, about a second faster
Good clunk there Arkus, you're a true legend of speedrunning
Was such an awesome run to see happen! really nice PB!
Outstanding!!!
Some of this looked pretty harrowing, but you made it look easy!!
Awesome job! I watched this live. :)
Congratulations!
Thanks for posting.
I don't get a chance to get on Twitch for live stuff anymore, so having these on TH-cam is awesome.
Congrats Arcus! Awesome run!
I normally don’t speed run games, but watching them is really amusing. It makes me want to play these games again.
Made my heart so happy to see you achieve your NEW PB! Congrats ARCUS!
Congats Arcus, amazing run!
Congratulations! What a great run and a well-earned PB!
I was there to see this, love you Arcus!!
Nice run Arc!! CG on the PB
Congratulations on the PB! Sorry I couldn't watch it live, so here's GG's to ya from TH-cam.
04:41 I will never forget where I was the day Arcus finally got good bleeps... but bad bloops.
Wow.... Congrats! That was awesome to watch.
Wow! What an amazing 2.8 seconds PB! That's absolutely crazy! Congratulations!
Just heard you say it was a 1 second PB, but that's still amazing with this game!
You're amazing Arcus!!
You sir got the respect from younger me (25 years ago) I have picked up my our old family NES today and actually played it a bit with my father (71y) and brought up so many memories. This was by far my favorite game altough never even finished it. What a rush to see and all the music is so epic! Well done man!
Wow! Arcus you are in the running let's go!
Race for 1:32 pace is on!
Amazing run Arcus! The true king will return soon! 🙌 🙏 👏
Good job arcus. It has been a while since I have seen you. Gg on the PB was hoping you got WR back.
Congrats on the new PB, had no idea this happened!
Great run! Congrats on the PB.
Congrats on the new PB! That run was amazing!
That world record will be back in your hands in no time.
love it! great job arcus!
Way to go Arcus!! Love your streams!
He mentions the Star Wars video at the beginning. That was actually my introduction to Arcus funnily enough. Oh and congrats!
Congrats man! Great run!
Love seein you play this more!
By now hearing the words " swag star" have become comfort food.
Had a bad knock-back, no eggs Benny, no perfect pair and still 11:34! Crazy! Someone will get an 11:32 eventually.
Congrats! Looking forward to PB on a burrito creation. Flippin and a floppin.
No nasty knock back in act 4-1 & final boss knock back. He would be close, keep it up Arcus. I want you to re-claim the record.
I've beaten this game many times as a kid and thought I considered myself to be pretty solid at this game. but this is at another level.
