My nephew was playing this on my NES last time he was here. I told him it was hard but he was like it’s seems pretty easy. A little while later I was in another room and heard him yell “why do they have fucking rockets?” At the jet pack part.
Just give up playing it the correct way and practice all the cheeses and skipping the enemies. You can't play how you want or expect to play if you want to win.
This game and the second one (Fuk International Gaiden 3, it's too BS) is well-known for their difficulty but I don't think they were "hard", just challenging. I beat it in 2 weeks, I did want to smash my phone at some moments (played it with emu and save but now I can beat it like in 30mins) Edit Guide for the 3 games if you want: G1: Always Equip The Spin Slash. G2: Alternate between the Fire Shield and the Fire Upward Thing. Japanese Gaiden 3: Follow the previous one.
That was awesome man! I've never even seen a playthrough of Ninja Gaiden one and you pull out all the stops and complete it in such an insane way! Great video and looking forward to the next one!
No, I like it because The focus is on his face first and controller second. His reaction is a major part of the entertainment and the moves he pulls off are secondary for when he does something super cool
Mother.... Of.... God..... Ryu, I tip my hat, sir. That was incredible. Beating this game with a regular Nintendo controller was a feat back in the day. You are a monster to take on this game with a guitar. Simply incredible. Well done. That was fun as hell to watch. Thanks!
I was never able to beat this game. When I played when I was a kid I could get to the 2nd phase of the final boss... When I finally beat the 2nd phase I discovered the 3rd phase and never could beat it. This is such a difficult game.
challenge idea for Ryu: get a CRT TV, a Zapper, and the game Gumshoe for the NES, and try to beat that game with using ONLY the Zapper as your controller....
I saw that this was uploaded several hours ago and was thinking that you had already beat this game. Then I saw that you were using a guitar this time. I'm amazed that you got through it with the guitar.
i thought that the leap of faith/gates of hell/lemon drop whatever part would be one of the worst with the guitar also, the whole act 6 + first two phases deathless was super impressive
You should buy a "Makey Makey™" and make the most ridiculous controller you can. Maybe just a pencil drawing on a piece of paper. I don't remember for sure if it can do multiple inputs at once so you might need to do a game that only needs one button at a time.
This is one of the hardest games i've ever seen. The fact that you beat with a controller i've personally never even been able to really use is one of the most impressive feats of gaming i've seen. Well done Ryu.
That boss rush is precisely why I never conquered this game. I remember grinding this game in the 90's and even 2000's and always losing on 6-5 just like Ryu. The main difference though was that I didn't know how to actually beat that boss.
I just thought about this. With the guitar controller you can press left and right / up and down at the same time, which means that if a speedrunner got used to a controller like this they could do some things that are considered TAS-exclusive...
This makes me think of all the weird ways people have beaten dark souls. Guitar controller included. Drum controller, voice commands, one-handed, dance mat, mouse only, even with bananas. I have no words for that last one.
I have a short list of Nes games which are not extraordinarily hard but balanced, has unique-fantastic boss fights and really chill. That would be amazing if you play one of them. Hudson's Adventure Island 4 The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy Chip 'n Dale - Rescue Rangers 2 Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six
Now to make a game everyone will remember, you have to have masterful pacing, mechanics, and level design to stand out above gigantic AAA titles, back then to make a game people remember today you just had to be like "haha unfair nearly pixel perfect jump with unfair enemy placement idiot"
@@outcast170 Except Dark Souls (I don't count 2) has very forgiving level design with good enemy placement. Just learn the game's ruleset and it's easy.
Blindfolded Punch-Out, while very cool, has been done by a few people. Punch Out with a Guitar or DDR mat would be interesting. Don't get me wrong about blind folded Punch-Out, its just like that game was almost MADE to be played blindfolded, with everything having perfect sound markers for when to act.
@Ryukahr Looks like you're not alone in your endeavor. Although, this was at least 4 years ago. www.reddit.com/r/nes/comments/551677/speed_runner_beats_original_ninja_gaiden_with/
Next super maker game: Warp pipe malfunction. 6 levels but each level could be Mario, Zelda dungeon and a third original nes game. DLC could be additional NES game. Zelda dungeon would be random from all dungeons in original game.
Ryukahr my favorite speed runner I watch all your content this series brings me back and I appreciate you making these vids for me 😁. You shouldn't over work yourself. But thanks for working so hard👏👍🤟
5-1 music... I feel like I heard that in MegaMan Wily stage, but I can't place which one. Wow, in the wrong spot this game's respawn mechanics can outright juggle you.
Ryukahr, I thought of a really good idea for this series, there is a product called MaKey MaKey That allows you to turn ANY electrically conductive material into a button on your controller, much like keybinding but with spoons, playdoh, bananas, a chunk of spam or even another persons skin lol I think it'd have very positive reviews as a video. Keep up the great content c:
Fairly sure none of them were intended to fit the modern description of "rhythm game", but there were many that required "pixel perfect" rythm to beat.
this is making me anxious and angry remembering my playthrough lmao i only managed to do it all by saving before the final boss. 6-2 is the bane of my existence
"Ryu, you deserve praise for making it this far.."
The game is breaking the 4th wall 😂
My nephew was playing this on my NES last time he was here. I told him it was hard but he was like it’s seems pretty easy. A little while later I was in another room and heard him yell “why do they have fucking rockets?” At the jet pack part.
HA!
So the younger generation haven't beaten us yet.
me: can't get past the title screen
Ryu: "let's shred"
Couldn’t even beat this game with a regular controller
same
i couldent beat the first level lol
This is a regular controller if you're brave enough
Just give up playing it the correct way and practice all the cheeses and skipping the enemies. You can't play how you want or expect to play if you want to win.

Guide for the 3 games if you want:

Japanese Gaiden 3: Follow the previous one.
That was awesome man! I've never even seen a playthrough of Ninja Gaiden one and you pull out all the stops and complete it in such an insane way! Great video and looking forward to the next one!
Is anyone else thinking that if he just reversed the videos they’d basically line up?
Yeah it's super weird having his body above his head, lol.
No, I like it because The focus is on his face first and controller second. His reaction is a major part of the entertainment and the moves he pulls off are secondary for when he does something super cool

Hit boxes on the NES are like magnets for the Insane Clown Posse.
@Grim Sleeper they actually have a lyric that says “magnets, how do they work?”
I was never able to beat this game. When I played when I was a kid I could get to the 2nd phase of the final boss... When I finally beat the 2nd phase I discovered the 3rd phase and never could beat it. This is such a difficult game.
"The Mask" for SNES. A great extraordinarly hard game
I always imagined someone playing guitar while beating an ultra hard game, but this?!
challenge idea for Ryu: get a CRT TV, a Zapper, and the game Gumshoe for the NES,
and try to beat that game with using ONLY the Zapper as your controller....
Next thing you know, Ryu's gonna pull a Siv HD and play League of Legends on a guitar board.
I saw that this was uploaded several hours ago and was thinking that you had already beat this game. Then I saw that you were using a guitar this time. I'm amazed that you got through it with the guitar.
Hurray for Retro Thursdays!! I love Ninja Gaiden!

Well done Ryu.
3:23 Ryu def needs a compilation of jinxing himself
Ah the ol' NES library, where every level was a troll level. Definitely one of the hardest games I ever beat.
That boss rush is precisely why I never conquered this game. I remember grinding this game in the 90's and even 2000's and always losing on 6-5 just like Ryu. The main difference though was that I didn't know how to actually beat that boss.
I never get past 4-2.
That song is just too good for me to move on to 4-3.
A Turtle approved this notoriously hard NES game.
Your approval would probably matter more if you didn’t approve literally every video. Clearly your standards are too low for his content.
Laughs in Acai.
I GET IT BECAUSE ACAI PLAYS GUITt hero fidbfodbffb
GADITOOOOO,no creia que fueras tu xDDDDD
0:00 Ah yes, the jingle that haunted many a child's dreams in the 90s 😅
Play it safe! Block all the sharp objects with your face...
After that, would like to see "Cave Man Games" with a Guitar.
Was I the only one humming along to every single song while Ryu played?
Next ghost and ghouls with donkey Kong drums
You should look up Snake Rattle n Roll on the NES. One of the weirdest platformers on the system!
I think I speak for most of us when I say that retro thursdays rock!
Do Guitar Hero with a dance mat
'playing' the game has a completely new meaning now :D
You still made that look easy.. very impressive 👏
This is by far one of my favorite series EVER!
I just thought about this.
With the guitar controller you can press left and right / up and down at the same time,
which means that if a speedrunner got used to a controller like this they could do some things that are considered TAS-exclusive...
I wholly support retro Thursdays
This makes me think of all the weird ways people have beaten dark souls. Guitar controller included.
Drum controller, voice commands, one-handed, dance mat, mouse only, even with bananas.
I have no words for that last one.
Another hard NES game, bit of an oddball as was never realeased outside Japan until 201something. Murasame Castle.
Retro game suggestion: Cobra Triangle on NES
To be fair, Ninja Gaiden is no big issue for Ryu to play...
So what I wanne see is *Ryu doing a Pokémon Nuzlocke with Guitarhero controller!*
You should try to beat Mario 3 with a DDR controller. THAT would be interesting to see. 😈
I played this game as a kid probably on some emulator but i completely forgot about it! Thanks for this video!
Amazing! Not only did you beat an incredibly hard nes game, you did it with a guitar controller. Congratulations 👏 True gamer.
Saw this in your ad. Love it.
Did......did anyone get this as an ad......?
Guitar Student: Sensei, what's the secret exercise to master the guitar like you?
Guitar Sensei hands over Guitar Hero Controler + Ninja Gaiden
I have a short list of Nes games which are not extraordinarily hard but balanced, has unique-fantastic boss fights and really chill. That would be amazing if you play one of them.
Hudson's Adventure Island 4
The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy
Chip 'n Dale - Rescue Rangers 2
Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six
Predator with a power glove... Effin’ impossible!
Ryu's warm head: Bottom-left
Ryu's cool body: Top-left
So, either Ninja Gaiden with the drumset or Contra with the guitar!
Now to make a game everyone will remember, you have to have masterful pacing, mechanics, and level design to stand out above gigantic AAA titles, back then to make a game people remember today you just had to be like "haha unfair nearly pixel perfect jump with unfair enemy placement idiot"
Yet Dark Souls was "revolutionary", nah it was just a remastered NES game.
@@outcast170 Except Dark Souls (I don't count 2) has very forgiving level design with good enemy placement. Just learn the game's ruleset and it's easy.
Might as well try smb3 with the power glove.
Ryu can play videogames and some musical instruments without breaking a sweat. He needs to play Crypt of the Necrodancer: Cadence of Hyrule.
blindfolded punchout for nes
Blindfolded Punch-Out, while very cool, has been done by a few people.
Punch Out with a Guitar or DDR mat would be interesting.
Don't get me wrong about blind folded Punch-Out, its just like that game was almost MADE to be played blindfolded, with everything having perfect sound markers for when to act.
Why is Ryu appearing as an ad for me lol
If you liked Ninja Gaiden, you should really try "The Messenger" !
Oh yes! I love that game!
@Ryukahr Looks like you're not alone in your endeavor. Although, this was at least 4 years ago. www.reddit.com/r/nes/comments/551677/speed_runner_beats_original_ninja_gaiden_with/
Not just a rock band controller. But the greatest Rock band controller!
Next super maker game: Warp pipe malfunction. 6 levels but each level could be Mario, Zelda dungeon and a third original nes game. DLC could be additional NES game. Zelda dungeon would be random from all dungeons in original game.
i m glad that you having good time, but i wanted to see your frustration about some broken NES games
Check out Ristar for the Genesis. That game is extraordinarily hard. At least the final boss is.
Flex on em = tea bag lol
Ryukahr my favorite speed runner I watch all your content this series brings me back and I appreciate you making these vids for me 😁. You shouldn't over work yourself. But thanks for working so hard👏👍🤟
5-1 music... I feel like I heard that in MegaMan Wily stage, but I can't place which one.

Do pit of panga on a guitar hero controller next.
Ryukahr, I thought of a really good idea for this series, there is a product called MaKey MaKey That allows you to turn ANY electrically conductive material into a button on your controller, much like keybinding but with spoons, playdoh, bananas, a chunk of spam or even another persons skin lol I think it'd have very positive reviews as a video.

When I opened youtube I wasn't planning to watch Abraham Lincoln beat Ninja Gaiden with a guitar hero controller and yet here I am
Yay! Ninja Gaiden! With a guitar? Wha? Sure no problem says both Ryus.
Makes me wonder if there are decent retro rhythm games.
Fairly sure none of them were intended to fit the modern description of "rhythm game", but there were many that required "pixel perfect" rythm to beat.
I'd like to see Ryu try to beat Battle Toads with the Guitar Hero controller.
wtf ryu I missed the notification for this video and I got it as an ad lmao
this is making me anxious and angry remembering my playthrough lmao i only managed to do it all by saving before the final boss. 6-2 is the bane of my existence
That went better than expected... Well done!
That was absurdly impressive.
An intensely satisfying solo.
I've never beat this game, I think I gave up on 5-3ish
May i ask what is the silver lining when you die at last boss? seemed kinda unfair xD
Surprised you didnt set up and down stroke to left and right, could focus one hand on movement and the other on jumping and attacking
*You should try a Mario 35 with a guitar controller. It will be epic!* 😹
Mario 35 with a DDR pad.
Ryu's head being below his body is so awkward. I'd reverse those screens if I were him :P
This should be a new speed run category 😁😁😁
Dude, this was your best video
Ryu playing the game as Ryu
It was destined to be.
Least his name wasn't Fester...
Hey Ryu, have u played The Messenger? If not, you should since u love Ninja Gaiden.
Kirby's adventure with the rock band drums!
…There's the star of David again……
I'm pretty sure those "bullets" are shuriken. And I saw some kunai flying around. But the rocket launcher guys probably had those 🤔👀😂
How about seeing how far you can get in Bubble Bobble?
Maybe they need a Guitar Hero% speedrun for this game.
29:11 That Ninja is on the juice, arm the size of his father.
Maybe his father was a halfling, and his mother was a hill giant...
15:20 that was foul/fowl
Guitar challenges look pretty awesome, ngl
Now you have to play Through the Fire and Flames with an NES controller.
Next, do this with blindfolded pls
My friend, seen as you played all the dark and demon souls games, how about you play some Bloodborne? :^]
He did a long time ago on Twitch, but didn't finish it I think.
@@pokyboss4281 well maybe he should play it again with some ridiculous build as a challenge... how about 99 arcane and bloodtinge hybrid thingy?
Ok so i need help, at 29:00 ryu laughs a lil and sounds like a banjo kazooie charachter , help me find out what character plz
Not a retro game, but I would love to see you play "Towerfall" on legendary mode. Game is super fun!
Petition for Ryu to make a Clone Hero vid.
please do silver surfer on the power glove.
I couldn't get past level 3 with a normal controler. Correction 2-2
This reminds me of I Wanna Be Boshy...plz play this as one of the ridiculously hard games 🙏
