The Ninja Gaiden's were the first to implement cinematic to games, and what an intro was this from the NES the best. It chills me to the bones, watch it every now and then...also the 4-2 song from Ninja Gaiden the first, awesome song.
For an 8-bit game, this intro was beyond EPIC!!!!! There are games in this generation that don't have the intensity that this one does! I would LOVE to hear a really good remake of the song playing!
I still remember the chills I got watching this intro the first time after I got the game .. I was like, woah you mean the plot goes deeper than Jaquio?
Even at 41, the music for this game is still good. Imagine what it would sound like with current generation standards. And to this day I wonder: Was Ashatar pulling the strings for Jaquio or the other way around 🤔
i personally think the 8 bit sound is what makes it great and unique sounding. i never liked most of the SNES remasters of NES games cause of how soft and less crunchy the sound chip for the SNES sounded.
@@Hypno_BPMdefinitely! I'm into this era of music as well as modern chip music, and texture is a huge aspect. It's why some rock guitarists become known for their sound... They're all using guitars, but some do a bunch of tweaking to find a new sonic texture. This song actually makes perfect use of the crunchy and possibly even shrill nature of that waveform at those high notes (I guess most music using very high notes can sound or approach sounding shrill, but this exaggerates it) but it really works! Even at the lower notes it's just so sharp (texture not note accidentals), so it just has a ton of impact! Same with chip music that uses super-fast arpeggios! It was done as a trick to fake chords from monophonic sound channels, but on their own, they have another unique texture that is just really fun to hear in music.
@@Hypno_BPMit's also so cool that they at least had the ability to also create those effects like vibrato, used brilliantly here and and in other tunes like DuckTales "moon theme", so they could still express just as much emotion in this music.
@@wyldshot666 there's been so many games since this that blow this out the water likes it's no competition. I get you come from the old ass days when games sucked but damn how blind are you that this is the best game ever LMAO 🤣.
@@thegermthatlivesinsideyour9328 Best sequel. I enjoyed my time with this game. I don't remember saying " ever". I promised myself to never to argue with IDIOTS. You made me break it. Good job.
@@marciofarias1475 eu lembro que eu tinha um cartucho aí tinha o nome desse ninja não era gaiden O jogo era o mesmo mas o nome era ninja ryukenden 2 aí dentro do cartucho tinha dragonball muito bom estilo street fighter Tinha um might final fight Contra force mds que nostalgiaaaaaaaaaa
I would start this game, watch the intro and press the reset button so I could listen to it again. Later on I learned that the intro replayed automatically after a while ^_^ One of the best game intro's ever!
Ninja Gaiden 2 The Dark Sword of Chaos has been #1 Game for me since my childhood days... This game is the legendary game from all the perspective in entire 8-bit NES world ♥️
Everyone clearly is missing what makes this into epic, the f@$king song playing in the background. My only wish is if Demetori could do a remix to this.
I understand and also loved this game. I owned this one, also the first ninja turtles, and did the same on both. Most of us only had a couple of games, and usually played them to dead each afternoon after school. Memorization is amazing when you are a child. Good times
@TsunamiWombat Yes that's true. It is still unknown whatever happened to Robert since he was never seen once the game ended. Also on the third game, Robert was never talked about and he wasn't on the game helping Ryu Hayabusa.
The sound effects for that series were better on the NES than the one from SNES, played both versions, but I liked the one with the NES better, the cinematics was the best part in all three games, right after a boss fight, there would soon be more all the way every times you killed a boss there was more to see all the way to the final boss... Loved that game series, but I kindda wonder, the main character is named Ryu, but right from the get go on the first game, Ryu's dad is named Ken, I'm just not sure if it's just a small coincidence...

@@edwardsolaire5672 It was a sad scene to me. Especially when Robert's last words as he was holding them off, dying, "Ryu... Get 'em for me..." As Ryu was running towards the last scene.
@@justinpearce3345 That might be the case. He probably went down swinging, and took as many demons as possible with him. If that happened, Robert might have gone down a hero, buying Ryu Hayabusa time.
First time i played this was in summer 1996, still i cant get why Ashtar thought it was a good idea that Jaquio was killed when he is the strongest of the villians as well very undeadly???
I want so bad for Tecmo to remaster & re-release the original NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy along with the Arcade Ninja Gaiden game in one compilation collection for both Nintendo Switch & Playstation 4/5. Come on Tecmo, make it happen🤞🤞
Que curioso que estaba viendo videos recomendados (este está entre ellos ) y da la curiosidad que los artes de dragon ball y del antagonista se parecen a los de dragon ball 🤔
Now, this Opening Music is...... "Cursed" 1:45 Me, chatting Ashtar without form: and Ashtar, The "Music" is stopped, Watch your Back! *An Undead Attack him from the back after the song ended*
@TwilightSea Yes, if Shredder wants to look like Ashtar, maybe he should act like Ashtar having his technodrome dark like Ashtar is kind of nicknamed as the king of darkness where Shredder is kind of nicknamed as the king of the foot clan or the foot soldier leader since he's kind of a foot soldier dressed differently and maybe Shredder should battle the Ninja Turtles in darkness so he can kill them easily.

The best intro in history of NES
Agreed
Amen!!!
Sure was, sure is ... And sure ever will be
Blaster master was better
100% 🤘
This gave me chills as a kid and really amped me up to play!
Watched it every time as kid
Same then quickly getting my assed whooped by this hard ass game.
Hell yeah
Always let this play through. Same with Mega Man 2 and Zelda 1,2
Shockingly, NG2 was WAAAYYY Easier then NG1!
Those last two lightning flashes gave me goose bumps the first time I played this in my 1990. This was more intense than the first game.
The best intro of all time!
I see one year ago u decided to state nothing but facts I see
@@stonecold316339 Sure you meant nothing but cap.

To this day, I am still amazed at how complex of a piece this was. The music alone had to be straining every bit of 8-bit programming available.
For an 8-bit game, this intro was beyond EPIC!!!!! There are games in this generation that don't have the intensity that this one does! I would LOVE to hear a really good remake of the song playing!
Have you heard Viking music? He does an awesome rendition of this song and it's amazing. I just discovered it
@@greyjedi7634 Thank you for the heads up
I still remember the chills I got watching this intro the first time after I got the game .. I was like, woah you mean the plot goes deeper than Jaquio?
Just a lesson to all the would-be villains out there: If someone asks what you are going to do about Ryu Hayabusa, the answer should never be nothing.
One of my favorite intros for nintendo games ever
Even at 41, the music for this game is still good. Imagine what it would sound like with current generation standards.

The Ninja Gaiden trilogy along with a few others were the Dark Souls of the 8 bit era.

How come? 3 was the easiest and 1 was nearly impossible...
Still haven't beat 3 damn hard . It's just me though haha
This makes me tear up in a good way
It's nostalgia cuz this game sux
@@thegermthatlivesinsideyour9328 stupid 2015 era kid

I agree, it was so menacing
ruclips.net/video/nw2kJbumsfo/видео.html
the best intro every games...
From what I recall, wasn’t Ashtar more or less observing that confrontation from his palace across the mountain range?
This music gives me chilll!! 🤩🤩
This still is one of the best game intros ever
This was the first game I ever beat. It's burned into my DNA.
I loved this game! I could beat it WITHOUT losing a life! Great game!
Wow you're amazing
I understand and also loved this game. I owned this one, also the first ninja turtles, and did the same on both. Most of us only had a couple of games, and usually played them to dead each afternoon after school. Memorization is amazing when you are a child. Good times

that's absolute cap this intro is laughable by today's standard and annoying music
@@thegermthatlivesinsideyour9328 maybe you don't know nothing about the golden era of video games you modern era bozo
Epic intro!
Please, game designers... look 20 years or so back in time and remember how to make games that would be regarded as CLASSIC so many years later.
When the games had passion.
The Best Intro in video game history. Ninja Gaiden 2 also had the best soundtrack of the NG series handsdown.
wow this game !.... I developed child anxiety and stress induced heartburn thanks to this magnificent son of a bitch!
The music in this game is one of the best.
@TsunamiWombat Yes that's true. It is still unknown whatever happened to Robert since he was never seen once the game ended. Also on the third game, Robert was never talked about and he wasn't on the game helping Ryu Hayabusa.
3rd game takes place before the 2nd also.
This is the first video game cut scene that I vividly remember.

I know right? I feel this is the best scene direction in any nes game.

Yes, a legendary scene.

@ Tsunami Wombat I think he died fighting. Remembering what he said as 'everything is going dark' while he was firing his pistol.
@@justinpearce3345 That might be the case.
He probably went down swinging, and took as many demons as possible with him.
If that happened, Robert might have gone down a hero, buying Ryu Hayabusa time.
the 1990s, the golden age of retro games.
best intro ever?
*intro epic*
If only the OG trilogy had H&S remakes. I wish I could beat Ashtar's ass like it was Ninja Gaiden Black.
First time i played this was in summer 1996, still i cant get why Ashtar thought it was a good idea that Jaquio was killed when he is the strongest of the villians as well very undeadly???
I love this song
This intro goes hard as hell.
Is that Soma Cruz?
I want so bad for Tecmo to remaster & re-release the original NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy along with the Arcade Ninja Gaiden game in one compilation collection for both Nintendo Switch & Playstation 4/5. Come on Tecmo, make it happen🤞🤞
What are the chances that the guy in the beginning of the game was Clancy, Foster, or the Bio-Noid in Ninja Gaiden III?
I always thought this is leagues better than Mega Man 2. That surely was iconic but this one really gives off "best nes intro" vibes🔥🔥🔥
Una obra de arte musical y visual el mejor tema de la historia y la mejor intro de todas las consolas por muy muy lejos.
peak of NES intros.
I love Megadeth's Hangar 18. Awesome song
Just three words: something's going down!
i wonder how's Old generation gamer will react if there's is a remake of ninja gaiden series in ps4/5
Listening to it thru a real lightning storm 😏
My teenage years
Epic ❤

The Xbox games are a joke compared to this game. Revenge of Shinobi was closer to classic Ninja Gaidan.
I want this ng back not the 3d stuff we got. It lost its soul. Its time for redemption.
You must never had played Black.
