I love how you acknowledge when a strategy might be cheesy and replay the level to show another way to beat it. You're keeping yourself honest _and_ demonstrating how well you can play some very difficult games. Keep it up! The 100K subscriber mark is in sight!
Dios MIO, this game bring back trauma. I recall ONE time beating this game as a kid. Took a few tries and finally beat the last boss in his last phase with the last bar of health on the last life of the last continue.
The nostalgia i get from this channel, is simply amazing. You are seriously living the dream my brother. Honestly, i get the feel watching, that the host and i would have been good buddies coming up.

This channel is really hitting the spot for video game content. It’s like a “show” that I could see on G4TV back when they had Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb on XPlay.
Every video, this commentary just hits right for having a chill session from work and duties. The background introes are great, and always amazing editing.
I finally caught up to your latest videos, binge-watching ALL of your channel's content up to now! It's great to absorb all of this knowledge of how to beat classic games, from start to cheesy ending.
Amazing is not the right word to describe this channel...the way you present the games is incredible..your tips became vital for me to beat the hardest games ever...thank you very much!! Cheers from Brazil
Dude, your skill in video games needs to be acknowledged. Your "casual strats" show so much skill. It looks easy when you're doing it but it definitely isn't. PLEASE do Demon's Crest for SNES one day.
Of all the games you’ve done here this is probably the video I stand the best chance of knowing most of it (except the final boss) going in. 11 year old me wanted nothing more than this game for my birthday, and I got it. I played the HELL out of this, but younger me just couldn’t top the final boss. Decades later through emulation and save states I eventually did, but when I was a wee lad that bastard always had my number. I love this game, the story, the graphics, the music. Looking forward to watching this later.
Thanks for sharing home slice. I, like a good number in the 90's , appreciate the sentiment and nostalgia. I was there bro. Games too hard for my little dumbness. But now.. (now i still cry playing super metroid again no help) I'm happily revisiting challenges from my young gamer years.
it's funny that you say that a lot of people had problems with the final boss in this game I was pretty much the only kid at school that could beat it and you know how kids are so I had to prove it to then that way they can see how it was done I loved all three of these games the original Dark Souls
Been trying to beat this games since ima kid in the 90s, thanks to ur tutorials i already beat NG 1 and 2 several times. U really the NES sensei my man
This channel is like those Walkthrough in videogame magazine that I used to love to read but in Video form. Thanks for activating all of my nostalgia neurons man.
I love the original Ninja Gaiden trilogy. It's sad the 3D reboot took a totally different direction (most importantly, lost its horror vibes). "The Messenger" is the spiritual successor we fans deserved.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames yeah, it's not just one of the best RETRO games ever made. It's easily in my top 10 favorite games of all times. Same goes with its soundtrack. A masterpiece.
I think Oniken was much closer to the original Ninja Gaiden feel, Messenger wasn't bad but its comedic writing and metroidvania style of levels make it too different
The new 3D reboot was good in its own right. It’s not sad, it’s just something that YOU didn’t like, which is perfectly fine and ok to not like something.
To me, this is one of the best games on Nes. I played it on famicom (japanese version) way after it was released. Incredible action, so impactful, smooth, fluid. Story, cutscenes, music, graphics it is all there. Graphics are that mindblowing, that by just looking at it, one would think it's not even 8bit, looks like it's on PCengine. Incredible game. Your walkthrough and praise for this game is much appreciated.
Just now finally beat this game! By far the most difficult one of the three. But what a satisfaction. Now I can put this trilogy to rest. Thanks for the awesome guide once more!

This channel takes me back to when I was the little kid and the older kids were showing me the game secrets and endings I couldnt get myself. Thanks man.
It doesn’t matter the game, your content is absolutely amazing. You give thousands of people a reason to get out of bed each and every Saturday: The fact you are a great dog dad just adds to the videos. Kylo and Mance are lucky to have you!
Wanted to come back here and comment that as of tonight I actually did it, I beat Ninja Gaiden 3. It has to be hands down the hardest game I've ever played. By the time I beat it, I didn't even use a single continue, as I invested so much time in to it that I knew it like the back of my hand (the extra lives trick in level 6 is definitely a huge help heading into 7). I still can't believe I did it lol. Thank you for your tips and content, I feel like I could beat any game imaginable now lmao
This is my fave NG game. Good video, I really enjoyed the illustrations on the left, I liked the way they connect different parts of each stage. For some reason when I was little I was kinda obsessed with the lore of this game, the bio-noids etc, and I have always wanted to know more.
Especially liked the opening/background info this week. I remember the graphics were a big deal when this came out. Not that I got to appreciate anything passed level 2. It's insane this didn't crack the 100. 100K is just around the corner!! Love the channel please keep doing what u do, your fans are with ya!! edit: watching the gameplay and DAMN u are good. The way you progress each level with strategies for the average player is truly some ninja level skill.
I absolutely agree with you, because this game is definitely on my personal top 100 NES games. I recall it being fun to play and I definitely recall having to deal with the challenges that the NES is notorious for in this game every single time!
I NEVER knew about this 99 continue cheat code! I was just asking myself what differentiates this channel from other “let’s plays” and you keep giving me answers as to how. You rock!
Awesome video as always, I love this trilogy, I played 1 & 2 so much that I almost memorize every move and finish them, but in this one I never was able to go further of level 4
One additional fact: Ninja Gaiden III was the final game released on the PlayChoice 10 arcade machine. It is also the rarest with only a couple known to exist.
@@maysintv9168 I have a PlayChoice-10 in my livingroom that I enjoy. I love playing Dr. Mario on it especially. Arcade controls feel funny for many NES games. You can find new carts that were not originally on the PlayChoice-10 like Tengen Tetris. There is at least one video of the PlayChoice-10 version on TH-cam. Looks the exact same to me. Punch-Out!!! in its PlayChoice-10 version has the only noticeable difference I know - it saves scores and you can input initials.
I can say since I said how hard my life has been lately and really it hasn’t changed much I appreciate all the support from ur channel and tbh I just look forward to ever video u put out every Saturday which just means everything to me tbh and I’ve even been watching ur older videos upstairs on a different account so u get more views and watch time cause u really deserve it bro great videos there so well made I mean there so good bro keep up the great work bro for real I’m be honest out of all the ppl I sub to even ppl with more subs and stuff like Charlie or Dax games urs is the one I look forward to every Saturday bro I mean it when I say u do great work I hope u get to be the best u deserve it bro and hand ur videos just really mean that much to me and ty
oOoOO my goodness. This game you decided to tackle. Ninja Gaiden III is crazy difficult. Only ever beat it once in life. You are definitely a hardcore gamer to even want to tackle this game with precision like this. To think you barely didn't use a continue is unfathomable. Your skills are surreal
i liked how part 3 finally showed you what powerup you'd get...growing up, if I didn't have the nintendo power or guide playing the first 2, I'd always hate getting a different powerup cause we instinctively slash everything to collect more ninjetti (or whatever it's called)
I only finished this game (the harder version) twice. The first time I was alone. The 2nd time, I have to prove to my friend that I finished it by showing it to him. It's a very hard game but the gameplay and music is so satisfying.
As always, great video! This being one of my unconquerable phantoms from childhood, it's great to see it dissected by an expert. Loved the light ribbing of the story. While it was much grander in scope than the previous games, it was definitely goofier and ripe for poking.
Who has 17 thumbs and recently beat The Lone Ranger thanks to your advice? ...I don't know either, I only have two thumbs. But I still beat it! And yes, I have beaten the entire Ninja Gaiden trilogy. I had to use Game Genie for 2 and 3, but the first was legit--with a broken D-pad, no less.
This takes me back to weekday mornings before school, hell even before dad hadda be in (6am), when you'd catch this as a challenge, along with Castlevania and Bayou Billy as well I'm sure, on Video Power. Man growing up in the 80s was a gamers fortune.
I was proud of myself for playing this game when I was young. But after watching this amazing video and great work I found that I bit the Japanese version not the US version. Anyway, thank you for such a hard work and amazing descriptions.
I remember after seeing some of these UCBVG's, I went on a rabbit hole to watch speedruns. Saw the Arcus guy in a few vids where he tracks time to finish each level, with comparison to his personal best, as he was even beating his own speed records. Nice to see explanations and tricks that I wasn't aware of before! *_KLUNK!_*
I love the Ninja Gaiden trilogy, although I found this one the easier of the three. I also remeber last time I replayed it I got to the final boss with so little time I beat it exactly at 000 timer. Thank you for making this videos, we love the work and effort you put into them.
The only one of the three I could never beat without cheating. Thanks for the vindication! Also, is it just me, or does the dimensional warship look a lot like Jashin?
I was finally able to beat this game! I don’t even feel bad about using the 99 continues code this game is one of the hardest NES games I’ve ever played.
Got this for Xmas in (I believe) 1991! Or maybe it was Battletoads.... One was '91, one was '92...... Didn't own NG I or II until 2000 so I had a head start with this one. My record is about 30 minutes, even with continuing twice. Got rid of most of my games in 2010, the Ninja Gaiden trilogy were 3 of them, recently found II again. Still have the box and innards, if I could just find the game again....... Great stuff, thanks!
Great video as always! I played and beat all three Ninja Gaiden games as a kid and I always found NG 3 not as hard as NG 1 was. I agree with you that NG 2 is the best in the series. Another option for those who want to play the 'easier' version of NG 3 is to play the NG Trilogy on the SNES. That version uses the easier Japanese version of the game.
Ninja Gaiden 3 has some awesome music and graphics (especially considering its on the NES) but as far as which game is the best, I think I'm with you. Ninja Gaiden 2 is just so much fun and the story dovetails perfectly with the first game. You get a satisfying ending, the big bad defeated, get the girl, avenge your father, bring honor to your clan, and save the world. Doesn't get much better than that. Really impressive playthrough on the hardest game in the series. Can't wait for next week's episode. I'm really hoping some day you'll play through Capcom's Sweet Home. Maybe you're saving it for Halloween?
I love this game! I never knew the stage 6 boss was Foster himself. I always thought that was Ryu's clone trying to survive the battle and transformed into new super monster.
In the Wikipedia page for Ninja Gaiden 3-The Ancient Ship of Doom that actually is the Bio-Noid that Ryu fought in Chapter 5 and now transmutated with the life energy for another battle with Ryu.
25:57 Jojo please! Cottage cheese! Just one spoonful of the cheese, you will see I'm greatly pleased! Just one spoonful of the cheese, you will see it kills my fleas! I eat that cheese everyday! -Arcus
I still own my trilogy from back then in my game library and still holds up today as the greatest trilogy on the NES. I noticed long ago the background in area 4-a1 the sky and mountains are actually upside down. I wonder how that slipped by their testers and the team? They usually are very strict and fierce when it comes to checking everything three times, but that was a bit of an oversight. Still, it's pretty cool to have found that back in 1991 when I played this.
Yup That Always Bugged Me Lol But I Loved The Music In That Level So I Got Used To It However...I Just Found Out That It Was Done That Way On Purpose The Name Of The Level Is Inverted Catwalk..
Finally! Been waiting for this one! II was my absolute favorite of the series, but this and the first one are still "fun" to play. I had this one and 2, and the Trilogy re-release on SNES, but that one wasn't as good because they took away the moving backgrounds in certain stages. The Finl stage was always tough as sometimes I'd be running out of time when I got to the final boss.
I remember getting this game when I was a kid and I could never get past the 3rd lvl and I would get soooooo pissed off because of it. The few times I got to the 4th lvl I'd only have like 2 lives left no continues and I'd get destroyed 😂😂😂😂. Great video as usual keep up the great work💯💯💪💪👏👏
I also beat this game on the Lynx back in the day. As far as the Bio-Noid goes, him getting out wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. He would probably only eat all of the Domino's pizza in the world and since I don't like Domino's pizza I'd be safe.

That boss isn't Foster, it's the clone, trying one ,more time in a new body. Foster simply disappears, likely ganked by the first demon he met

This series was the bane of my existence as a kid
The graphics for nes are stunning. Look at that final robot boss. Amazing.
Got this for Xmas in (I believe) 1991! Or maybe it was Battletoads.... One was '91, one was '92...... Didn't own NG I or II until 2000 so I had a head start with this one. My record is about 30 minutes, even with continuing twice. Got rid of most of my games in 2010, the Ninja Gaiden trilogy were 3 of them, recently found II again. Still have the box and innards, if I could just find the game again....... Great stuff, thanks!
Those were the kind of Xmas presents you could play for an entire year!
this one of the titles you needed a game genie for.
your guides are great. thx for all the effort you put in

I love the rainbow HUD!
@U Can Beat Video Games: I would love to see X-Kaliber 2097! That game has really cheap boss fights... and i still love it.
Great video as always! I played and beat all three Ninja Gaiden games as a kid and I always found NG 3 not as hard as NG 1 was. I agree with you that NG 2 is the best in the series.
Another option for those who want to play the 'easier' version of NG 3 is to play the NG Trilogy on the SNES. That version uses the easier Japanese version of the game.
Very true! I don't love the control scheme on NG trilogy, but there are a lots of ways around that.
Ninja Gaiden 3 has some awesome music and graphics (especially considering its on the NES) but as far as which game is the best, I think I'm with you. Ninja Gaiden 2 is just so much fun and the story dovetails perfectly with the first game. You get a satisfying ending, the big bad defeated, get the girl, avenge your father, bring honor to your clan, and save the world. Doesn't get much better than that.
Really impressive playthrough on the hardest game in the series. Can't wait for next week's episode. I'm really hoping some day you'll play through Capcom's Sweet Home. Maybe you're saving it for Halloween?
I love this game! I never knew the stage 6 boss was Foster himself. I always thought that was Ryu's clone trying to survive the battle and transformed into new super monster.
Same here!!! Just commented that myself lol
In the Wikipedia page for Ninja Gaiden 3-The Ancient Ship of Doom that actually is the Bio-Noid that Ryu fought in Chapter 5 and now transmutated with the life energy for another battle with Ryu.

I still own my trilogy from back then in my game library and still holds up today as the greatest trilogy on the NES. I noticed long ago the background in area 4-a1 the sky and mountains are actually upside down. I wonder how that slipped by their testers and the team? They usually are very strict and fierce when it comes to checking everything three times, but that was a bit of an oversight. Still, it's pretty cool to have found that back in 1991 when I played this.
Yup That Always Bugged Me Lol But I Loved The Music In That Level So I Got Used To It However...I Just Found Out That It Was Done That Way On Purpose The Name Of The Level Is Inverted Catwalk..
Finally! Been waiting for this one! II was my absolute favorite of the series, but this and the first one are still "fun" to play. I had this one and 2, and the Trilogy re-release on SNES, but that one wasn't as good because they took away the moving backgrounds in certain stages. The Finl stage was always tough as sometimes I'd be running out of time when I got to the final boss.
Great video! I am requesting Quackshot for Genesis btw!
The day has finally come!
I remember getting this game when I was a kid and I could never get past the 3rd lvl and I would get soooooo pissed off because of it. The few times I got to the 4th lvl I'd only have like 2 lives left no continues and I'd get destroyed 😂😂😂😂. Great video as usual keep up the great work💯💯💪💪👏👏
Dammit. You got me with the Noid reference. XD haha!
Love your content man! Do Sweet Home!
One of my top 20 games of all time
This is the one i never owned, nor bothered to emulate either so ive never seen the third game.
Great vids like usual
"Irene and Ryu have been reunited, but it doesn't feel so good!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahaha dude, I f-ing love you man!!! 99 problem but continues anit one! Lol🤣
With your cadence!!😆🤣 so good!
I also beat this game on the Lynx back in the day. As far as the Bio-Noid goes, him getting out wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. He would probably only eat all of the Domino's pizza in the world and since I don't like Domino's pizza I'd be safe.
My favorite part is always “what if I told you…”
