When I was in Elementary school, my Dad decided to pause, bust out the big ass 80's camcorder and record himself playing the last Boss (the demon), to boast to me and my brother, because we couldn't get that far...un-paused the game, and died instantly 🤣
19:42 and 31:00 to 31:21 lol. Also 31:03 1st time i misheard what the dragonborn coward is saying. It was "no my god" or "know my god" both are hilarious anyway XD And 32:15 perfect.
I finished this game when I was around 10. Enjoy it's difficulty 🤟 Tips: 1- The whirlwind spinning attack is OVERPOWERED. 2- To save power for the spinning attack, in the air press down and attack. 3- The boomerang shuriken can be used as a protection. When it comes back just evade it(jumping or falling from it's trajectory) and it will try to come back many times. 4- Don't move back, enemies respawn, always move forward.
This was the first game I got back in 1989 along wit Super Mario Bros and Adventures on Link. Zelda was trash so I spent a lot of time playing Ninja Gaiden. I played it so much, I can breeze through the game until the last two levels and then the rage begins. I beat it using save states in 2008 and vowed never to play it again.
This game introduced me to the art of rage quitting a video game in the late 1980s. I got to the last level and died running out of continues before ever seeing the final boss
I still love this game. Sure, I did grow up with it and it definitely has its issues, but it's a lot of fun when you know the tricks to get by it. Entertaining video, nonetheless. To be fair, the 2nd game is a bit more forgiving.
Tecmo when playtesting ninja gaiden on nes back in the day:Yup nothing wrong with this game,this is how most nes games plays."instant respawn enemies and hit detection issues with your weapon.And getting stuck on certain placements".
No game made me angrier. I am sure this is intentional design, just cheap difficulty to encourage replay value in the days of game rentals. Still... revolutionary for the time for the introduction of intricate story cutscenes and the music
Ahhh the nostalgia. I could never beat the final boss in this game as a kid. Glad to see you're giving it a go TY! The soundtrack was surprisingly good for a NES game too! All that aside, I could never attempt to play it again. The controls are complete garbage🗑
respect your opinion, but not all that love this game are "dorks who have never played many games", i am 43 and i am playing since I'm 5, many games, many platforms, and still this game is one of the best in the NES library.
26:42.... From here on out it's pure rage joy..I am in tears. And yes this was quite the overrated game of it's time. I remember the horror of playing it when it first came out... Keep raging!! Fuck this game!!
The damage sound still makes me feel uneasy 🤣 Yes its inept yes its cheap but i still had fun playing it. And the cheaper the game the better the ty rage.🤗
@@lenarmangum8630 I beat it. Only used seave states for the very last stage because you need to do the whole lvl again. Beat NG2 100 % legit i would say. Only save states for lvls like if you would keep the consol going. I still think ist kinda cheap put it has a fast pace and mostly fair checkpoints which makes it still enjoyable.
34:15... That's some bitch moves the game is doing....nes and it's everytime you get hit you get pushed backwards... That was jizzum....JIZZUM!! Sorry I died laughing when you screamed that !
Ya see, ya gotta understand, a good Throthgar episode has nothing to do with what game he's playing. I think it's related to the last time he was able to pay somebody to sleep with him. This was a good episode
The torture endures! 😆😆😆😂😂 This game is so hard that hardcore speed runners have to use save states to complete it, it's impossible to see anyone complete this game normally on RUclips on any hardware og NES console without save savestates but I love the courage that you have TY for our own amusement 😂😂 no one can complete this game normally with og NES hardware and a clean run! But this is so funny that you tried hahahaha! 🤣🤣😂
the hell are you talking about people speed run this game all the time without usins save states...they cant use them if they want their speed run to count officially..check out arcus on youtube
This game really is inept, and totally obnoxious. Some people don't care how bad a game is though, just "is it hard" so it's kind of perfect for retro rage at least.
21:14 you wanna talk about terrible checkpoints? If you got to act 6-4 boss and died on it you would not start at the beginning of 6-3 but from 6-1 and that means you would have to start the entire level from the beginning and if you somehow manage to get to that boss again you won't have your life bar refilled! Isn't that inept? XD
Play NG3: RE man. You'll laugh your ass off with the godawful story and it's inept characters. Just play it on Normal or easy cuz there is no healing consumables. Pro tip: if you play it, don't spam the flying swallow move. Abuse "steel on bones" instead. It cheeses most mob encounters.
All 3 games are very similar in gameplay and style. The only big difference being the OP power (1-whirlwind slash, 2-Shadow Ninjas, 3-Longer Sword), and being able to climb up and down walls. So sad Tecmo never did a Super Ninja Gaiden but instead just the trilogy. But the first ona has the best sound and ost.
It's been a long time since I laughed so hard at a video where I had tears. Cheers, bro P. S this game is dogshit and I never made it past that stupid drop down jump because I couldn't be bothered to look it up.
No puedes jugar chele charrula 🤡🤡, este juego no es para cualquiera. Deja este juego para nosotros los hombre de verdad que jugamos este juego en los años 90
This game is actually easy. The game's controls are very precise. This guy can't be serious. It also helps when you don't completely suck at video games.🙄
I guess everyone saying this game is hard is crap at games then all those millions of ppl. Get some videos up of your god like gamelay and show us all how its done. lying dope.
@@Tyrannicon 😆 God like gameplay? Me? Not even close.🤣 All I'm saying is bashing the mechanics of the game just because you don't know how they work, is just wrong. I'm sure you are great at video games. With Ninja Gaiden, it is like any other game, it takes a bit of practice. Once you know the mechanics, weapon system and enemy patterns, the game is a breeze.🍻
Nah its really not easy and it pure trial and error. No way any person react propperly first time around with the respawns when you only move 1mm. There is pretty much one right route you gotta find.

I love how I get so excited to play all the nes classics until I actually play them 😅
Right???!!!
After 20 minutes I'm like screw this, I'll watch someone's Lets Play! 😂
7:40 I'm in tears 🤣🤣 This was great. 👏

I was checking comments to see if anyone else commented this part XD. Fucking killed me
I think that's bullshit since he wasn't that high either.
Hayabusa: *trying to live his life
Tyrannicon: Ohhh...my god!
I laughed from start to finish, had tears in my eyes from laughing so much. Best retro rage yet!

Dying when you jump up into the upper level is some troll type shit. Pure JIZM!!

Hoh?! It's him again, Kasumi Ninja! (KASUMI NINJA!)
This was the first game I ever played as a kid lol
Ever since coming across your retro rages, I've been waiting for you to get around to this one. It did not disappoint. "JISM!"
I can already hear the screams in my mind! :)
The commotion with the controller was already enough for me hahahaha! 😂😆😆
This was the first game I got back in 1989 along wit Super Mario Bros and Adventures on Link. Zelda was trash so I spent a lot of time playing Ninja Gaiden.

Take a drink everytime He says "Oh My God" 😂😂
You’d die from alcohol poisoning.
Asura and Kratos their rage has nothing on throthgar
Tecmo had the best music in their games back in the day!!!
Wow, the cheapness of the enemy placement and respawn. Never seen anything like it.
This game introduced me to the art of rage quitting a video game in the late 1980s. I got to the last level and died running out of continues before ever seeing the final boss

As someone who grew up playing this and beating it multipletimes, I agree that it's pure and utter shite. The controls are infuriating.
No game made me angrier. I am sure this is intentional design, just cheap difficulty to encourage replay value in the days of game rentals. Still... revolutionary for the time for the introduction of intricate story cutscenes and the music
6:53 "Grab on you nerd ninja wimp!" It's making me roll on the floor laughing! 😂😅😅
Ninja Gaiden is such an amazing game, really revolutionary for the time!
The digitized VO. So good, Ty
Hoping theres a Rage Through of the 2nd and 3rd NES Ninja Gaiden games

Act 1.....”in America!” said Bandit Keith himself
Tyrannicon: Classic Rage

*7:40** BRO THIS SHIT WAS SO FRUSTRATING 😭💀*
Ahhh the nostalgia. I could never beat the final boss in this game as a kid. Glad to see you're giving it a go TY! The soundtrack was surprisingly good for a NES game too! All that aside, I could never attempt to play it again. The controls are complete garbage🗑
"DR. SMITH?!?" I spat out my breakfast
one of your all-time best, man...thanks for the laughs
I don't remember these games being that hard but I also had a game genie
respect your opinion, but not all that love this game are "dorks who have never played many games", i am 43 and i am playing since I'm 5, many games, many platforms, and still this game is one of the best in the NES library.
I meant never played many games when you were young so now you like it out of nostalgia. If you played it now for the first time like me youd hate it
@@Tyrannicon you are right in this. the game is far from perfect
26:42.... From here on out it's pure rage joy..I am in tears. And yes this was quite the overrated game of it's time. I remember the horror of playing it when it first came out... Keep raging!! Fuck this game!!
Proud hat tip to Throthgar's mad ninjitsu skills to beat the first area by nearly a perfect and for sure a no-miss bonus! :D
The birds betrayed your trust
this game was WAY harder than these newer games. I remember I beat all of them.
The damage sound still makes me feel uneasy 🤣
Yes its inept yes its cheap but i still had fun playing it.
And the cheaper the game the better the ty rage.🤗
No the game isn’t inept, you can learn and get better at it, you just have to have patience and dedication. You can triumph!
@@lenarmangum8630 I beat it. Only used seave states for the very last stage because you need to do the whole lvl again.

no dont play it your gonna break something. its cheap and unfair with constantly respawning enemies and inept platforming
Too late for that LOL his whole apartment is going down right now! Castlvania is truly savage right now compared to this! lol
@@HUYI1 castlevania 3 is actually super hard as well and its very slow paced compared to NG what makes it even more annoying
@@FreyofKtau don't forget the constant push back too!
Haven't laughed this hard in a while. Great vid once again, Tyrannicon!
You got further then i thought you would !
7:40 LOL
Kasumi Ninja voicing Ryu was epic!
Ty ...you are a comedic genius ....such an original style of comedy deadpan it's just hilarious ...Good work 👌
Was looking forward to his reaction when you die on the final boss and have to start all over at 6-1 but unfortunately didn't happen.
One is not all you get. You have to collect powers to use the special powers....like collecting hearts in Castlevania (the first one).
Ya see, ya gotta understand, a good Throthgar episode has nothing to do with what game he's playing. I think it's related to the last time he was able to pay somebody to sleep with him. This was a good episode

That is literally not true.

I miss Meow Meow.

Listen the metal covers of Ninja Gaiden ost. Specially the one from Megadrive band.
Lol. Love the voice acting is on this one too. Canon all the way
Lmaooo bruh the wormoids at the end 😂😂😂

Try out Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos as well.
31:21 JIZZUM!!

the NG2 views are getting bad. NG3 will kill the channel.
I beat this game as a child about 10 years old back in 1990, 😆 watching him fail on this is funny.
lol that's why i prefer the Ninja Gaiden Sigma Gameplay Wise over NES Versions
30:30 I died lmao 🤣
The rage is real!
Yes! You should of suffer like this in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
Throthgar should send this review to Techmo, if their still in business. Let them know how much this game is broken.
I'm sure that will be a revelation to them 36 years on.
The arcade version of Ninja Gaiden looks better and has better level design, but is equally as rage-inducing.
Totally different games tho, the arcade is pretty much beat em ups and this one is platformer
30:33 lmao🤣
Hahahaha omg this should be titled Throthgar plays Ninja Gaiden
You're right it is a bad game, if you suck.
no its a bad game for reasons explained in the video, fan boy
O gawd more ninja!!!
Ninja Gaiden is a good game, but so hard :)
Ty is best rage utuber,his sekiro rage is really masterpiece,can't wait he rage else rinh
*elden ring
I have an idea: GIT GUD!!!
Yea so you get good without dying once do you? You just say that and beat the game without dying eh? Lets see you do this in a video dork
@@Tyrannicon I never said I beat the game without dying. I also never said I beat the game without continuing.
Alex the kidd in miracle world next plz. All Sega games were superior. Including Jurassic Park. And you know it, deep down.
thank you man.
Something tells me you are gonna ragequit this game soon
Lol digitized speech is badass
Got to final boss as kid but was always dying. I find the second game was easier ,won a few times.
the ol get gud applies here 🤣 rage moments incomining😡🤬
YES!
Hahaha this had me dying laughing:🤣 well don't stop here, continue with the other retro ninja gaiden games :😂
I never got so mad at a video game
Incredible digitized speech in this 🤣
Try Ninja gaiden Razor's edge in normal mode
check out ninja sprit and strider!!
already played strider on my retro rage playlist check it out
The ninja gaiden 3 for NES is much better, is less cheap, has better graphics and the controls are much better as well

Now play Razor's Edge and you'll find it is a masterpiece compared to this hahaha
This game looks like pure cancer. I've never played it and probably won't but I like the basically no hit runs those key nerds can pull off
This is some cheap shit right here.
Game is classic, so many memories. The game is far from shit tyrannicon, get gud homie 😂
No servis para este juego , te han matado infinidad de veces. Este juego es para hombres te repito
