    Love Ninja Gaiden. My friend had all 3 games and we'd play from 9am to 9pm, stopping only for food and bathroom breaks. Great times.

      Hi Black Sheep Miracle. That's an awesome memory. Had the same experience as you. I remember having a friend spend the night as well playing Ninja Gaiden and drinking Mountain Dew soda way past my bedtime. I picked up the other two games as well and need to beat those games. Thanks for sharing that memory 😊.

      Hey Greg. Oh cool! Yeah Ninja Gaiden 3 should be really fun. I own 1 & 2 but not the 3rd one yet. I'll have to check out your video because I've never seen the game before. I take it you enjoyed it which means it will be a future pickup of mine.

    • @MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior
      @MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior  2 месяца назад +1

      It wasn't an easy game. I was stuck with it and I played it after school when I was a kid. The bridge sequence where I kept dying was the spot in the game I absolutely hated, lol. You start figuring out where the enemies spawn at and the equipment you need (jump and slash) is when it started to be better. That's my gameplay and you can see that I almost died against the last bosses. Fun game though. If it wasn't for Ninja Gaiden; I wouldn't have loved playing Bloodborne or Dark Souls 3 on PS4. Punishing games but fun.

    About 10+ years ago, I remember buying this game for $4.95 at a game store in Wichita Falls, TX. Took me many tries but I managed to beat it with a trick. Nowadays, I don't use the trick anymore. I test my skills every time I get to the last 2 final bosses. 2nd boss was the hardest part until I found a strategy. Ninja Gaiden makes a wonderful memory test.
    I say Ninja Gaiden 3 is harder than the first. Continues are limited and you take a bit more damage unlike the Japanese version.

    • @MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior
      @MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior  Месяц назад +1

      Wow Matt, that was a good deal for Ninja Gaiden. I was always thinking if the 1st game was hard; I didn't want to get the other two games since I was limited to having one game on Christmas and another on my birthday. I played 3 before and loved the reach on Ryu's sword. I have the hack for 3 that gives me unlimited continues and its more forgiving compared to the American one we got. I enjoy playing that more compared to my original 3 though. I'll be doing a video on my hack later in the future. Glad you try to push yourself on this game. It's a great challenging game.

    Played this nonstop as a kid. I beat Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, pt. 2 is easier than part 1 by far in my opinion, never played part 3 in-depth because I think I had moved on to other stuff as a teen. Awesome game and video

    • @MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior
      @MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior  Месяц назад +1

      That's cool Joey. Yes, part 1 was my first game I ever got for my Nintendo. Never played 2 or 3 until I decided to purchase them as an adult. I do like 2 and 3. Prefer the Japanese 3 one though since I get unlimited contines. You should definitely play 3 more. It's actually pretty fun. If you can find the hack that has the English translation or the Famicom one.

      It was the same story with FF7. Games i did not complete as a kid or a teenager i did not beat until about my mid 20's when i get a good retro gaming streak going. The only game that's left that i still want to beat from back in the day is Friday the 13th or Roger Rabbit, Maybe ill do that after 10 more years. My backlog of games in queue is truly unimaginable and endless starting with Paprium and ending with Toxic Crusaders . I do however suggest "The messenger " to anyone who has just beat NG.
