- Hideo Yoshizawa the director/producer of the original Ninja Gaiden, and Keiji Yamagishi, the composer fo the original Ninja Gaiden had a chance to play The Messenger at Bitsummit 2018. The duo loved what they played and we invited them to check out the latest version and give their thoughts on The Messenger and its strong inspiration from Ninja Gaiden.

"There's humor in The Messenger."
"Yeah, none of that in Ninja Gaiden."
So true 😂
*Shinobi has entered the chat*
Well the nes ones at least
the NES game has the coolest intro at the time
"I want to attack upwards"
"No"
No. This isn't how you're supposed to play the game!
A dream come true!
Can't wait to play it.
Really excited for this game! Looks great!
The game is also on GOG.com I wish I saw that earlier before I bought the Steam version lol :P
I can't even begin to imagine how this must have felt for you all, being able to show off your game to the very people who inspired you. Incredible stuff, congratulations all.
No joke!!! I remember getting sent home with a migraine in middle school in 91-92 and finally beating Ninja the Garden I.
Must be awesome playing a game your own old creation inspired.
It says a lot really. Most importantly, that even 30 years later, a game you made will still be an inspiration to others.
It still is for me:D
Yeah, but having Yoshizawa and Yamagishi playing your game is a greater honor.
The fact that they enjoyed it and we're looking forward to the release was probably a massive honor for the devs
Indeed it was
I like how he assumed you could attack the projectiles and it turned out to be true Haha so cool
Shows how they are game developers themselves! Thinking about random stuff such as that :D
@@Ex0rz exactly! I thought that was pretty cool
Indeed. Like the other guy said, they are game developers, so I imagine the thought process might've been something along the lines of, "If I were programming this, would I make the projectiles destroyable?"
Funnily enough, you actually have to buy that as an upgrade in the game (even though it's potentially the first one you buy).
Anyone who played games back in those days understands experimenting with all the possible mechanics like that. It's you modern gamertards that don't get this. It's why you idiots don't even know to jump on the first Goomba in Mario.
That's a smart way to promote a game!
But... why? That is so NOT the point. Anywhere near the point or even near it's ballpark... Why??
@@helssing05 Is promotion. Thats it.
So great to see developers of the classics getting a kick out of modern games that pay respect to their originals. Must be incredible for the developers of The Messenger to meet these guys and see them playing their creation. Real heart warming stuff!
I saw a video with the games director telling a story about how he talked with the Ninja Gaiden devs after they played it. They said this was Ninja Gaiden 4, and he broke down and cried. That's a fans dream coming true right there.
Best compliment you can get.
What's gon be incredible is when my foot reach so far up in your ass, you going to be screaming jesus.
oh look, it's an internet tough guy.
GTFO
Yoshizawa and the rest of the original Ninja Gaiden trilogy developers should do a video where they just look back at the three games and reminisce about the development process. I would totally watch that.
That would be amazing! I love those kind of retrospectives. With this game coming out, it would be a perfect time for them to do something like that, this game is going to get people to go back and play the games that inspired it, I am sure.
I'll definitely get this game, unless dying to the final boss sends you back 3 levels.
I read somewhere that that was an oversight or a glitch, it wasn't supposed to happen. We can laugh at it now... Nop, I'm still mad XD
Damn dreadful that would be.
Have you played Dead Cells?
I just played through ninja gaiden 1 the other day! I'm glad I had a save state ready on the NES classic!
Save state? Dude thats cheating! No save states on NES games! (Besides ones that you are meant to save on like Zelda etc. :D)
Heartwarming
This is possibly one of my favorite games of all time, it's incredible to see such legends from my childhood enjoying the game so much!
It’s really funny to hear the voices of these two giggling after all the hell I went through to read their names when the credits finally rolled lol
This could melt a Frost Ogres heart! I love when fans meet devs/writers/directors, like this and show them their inspirations. It happens rarely, but it's always great to see!
Yamagishi's Ninja Gaiden NES compositions are the greatest 8-bit soundtracks ever.
Ikr?:)
Amen to that
I'll put Ninja Turtles: The Manhattan Project up against ANY NES sound track.
I'd dispute them being the greatest, but I'll definitely say they're very good. :)
No way! The best 8-bit soundtracks *are* from a ninja series, but not Ninja Gaiden on the NES. They're found in the *LAST NINJA* games on the Commodore 64. Particularly Last Ninja 2 which is hands down the best 8-bit soundtrack ever made.
After all that punishment they put us trough, it's hard to observe these nice, polite guys. I expected demons with otherworldly hatred for humanity.
Funny thing is, this game turns out to be top quality. 10/10
Why is that the funny thing?
This is so precious.
I'm playing it for the first time now and HOLY WOW is the start of the third act amazing or what?! I just knew about the 8/16 bit switching. But the story is what elevates it!
Immediately had to add this to my Steam wishlist when i saw it at E3, can't wait to give it a try in a few days.
Congratulations to you, Devolver. Must be a big honor! Can't wait for the game!
The messenger is an amazing love letter to Ninja Gaiden. I love it. It's such an awesome game. I'm in what I believe is the end game. I try and play games as blindly as possible so I'm not entirely sure how far into the game I am. It does such a good job of bringing me back to my childhood. It feels like a classic game, all the way down to monsters spawning again as soon as they're out of frame. It makes me smile every time I start the game.
Putting the finishing touches on a grant can be the toughest part
Cries in Silksong 😭
I call this, real *art*
24tro and what would fake art be

*Breathing without why*
Wow! Amazing!, really... this is Amazing, an unforgettable experience 🖒👌
I love that you guys did this! It was an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you :)
These guys are LEGENDS!!! As much as I raged thanks to their games, they taught me patience and precision. A skill applicable beyond video games.
Wow this must have been an amazing experience for you guys!
Very glad to see the two people who made me as child in the 80's so happy to run home everyday after school just to play ur masterpiece of the legend that is Ninja Gaiden. RUclips is truly awesome! Much respect to you both from me and the loyal fans that never forgot your dream of a masterpiece of a game!!
Thank you so much for organizing this @DevolverDigital, Yoshizawa is a true pro and I'd love to see a more in depth interview one day.
2020 and I'm just finding out about this game!
You can tell this was a love letter to Ninja Gaiden!! So damn glad to see these developers who worked on the original get recognized!!
Just picked this game up also! Definitely an all-time favorite now!
That was one of the best videos to promote a new game that I have ever seen. Fantastic!
Wow, these legends are playing like a boss despite their older years! Real FKN gamers I love it.
this is awesome to see, congratz guys!
These guys are GENIUS!! Thank you for making Ninja Gaiden!! I still love it to this day!!
Congrats you guys. This is really cool praise.
This is so awesome!
Oh man, this video is awesome on so many levels, but it's great to finally put faces to the names of the awesome people that were responsible for Ninja Gaiden. Also, a very special thank you to Yamagishi-san for putting some of the most memorable music in NES history, especially the first level of the first game, and the whole soundtrack to the second one.
Such a fun game. Some of the platforming parts were so insanely difficult 😂
I love these two! I would honestly love to see them play more games!!
This looks magnificent.
Legends! I still listen to Ninja Gaiden OST after all these years. Still blows my mind!
These Guys are Legends!
Sick seeing them play. I'm still trying to finish the dlc!
so cool to see the originators of this kind of gameplay try their hand at this.
It's got to be a great feeling being able to meet devs and play a game you helped to inspire.
This seems like a dream come true my dudes, congrats!
That's why I love devolver digital, thanks for this amazing content!

I had never even heard of this game before this video, just now... and now I need it.
This is like the sweetest and most flattering thing that can happen to a team of developers on both sides.
This is so cool to be inspired by something and then be able have your creation recognized by those who inspired you.
Truly a must have.
SO Wholesome. Definetly looking forward to buyr the game
It's great to see these veterans still get excited and show passion for games after all these years. More people from the industry should take notes.
Very awesome to see this game played by the folks behind Ninja Gaiden and get their respect, 2x level up! The game looks outstanding, I'm excited to play this.
This made me so happy.
The Messenger looks great and its cool that these guys had so much fun playing it.
Wow, Nice video ! 2018 has been another excellent year for gaming
This is awesome.
Honestly, this video sold me on the game. Thanks!

THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING GAME
Man I feel old, played the original Ninja Gaiden on NES with a buddy and brother non stop for weeks until we finally beat it. Long live the original Ryu!
Great seeing these creators get to see how they influenced generations with their game. Two humble men, wonderull stuff.

This is so satisfying to watch for some reason.
Wow! So coooool you got those guys to play Messenger

This game looks absolutely gorgeous!
They're so humble. God bless those guys.
I was listening to the Autumn Hills theme on youtube today, as I was working, and this video popped up as a recommendation. So cool watching them play this amazing game.
Hoping there's a Messenger 2 with 32/64-bit parts in 2D.
Thank you for this. Awesome to see the old schools feed back to homages.
This game looks so beautiful...
These games always had such a good story and a woman that you were fighting for. That kept me playing. :)
