Defined Boundary yeah the music was stuck in my head today even tho I played this game about ~14 years ago so I looked it up to listen.. had to find the game's name first because that part I never actually looked at before.. I only knew which cartridge had what kinda game
I don't know why... but i was very scared to play this game when i was little. The music, The chills , The Thunder, Fire breathing Person coming from all directions. but it was iconic 🤩
I remember playing this as a kid. Until right now, I had forgotten the name of the game. All I could remember about the game was being a ninja that jumped really high and your clothes changed color when you got power ups. Finally got some closure to this 25+ year mystery
I used to play it and shout at my dad for not allowing for more than 2 hours of game play. I miss my dad, he died of covid-19 and this music and game put me in the 1998 era.
Pegasus was the taiwan copy of nes that was sold in Poland by two Polish guys, whom after the law was made up and had made copies illegal , turned to produce fizzy drinks, which are still popular today. A fun fact.
The best soundtrack and best ninja game for the legendary OG Nintendo Uno. I was about 5 years old when I played this game, which is 32 years ago. The music is rings in my head even till this day. I can’t believe how so many others haven’t even play or seen this epic gem!! I love it to death, I really feel like a young cub listening to this song again. The amount of nostalgia is unparalleled. Thank you so much for uploading this video!!! Subbed and Liked!!!! 👍
NES games weren't terribly designed, they were short, and had to be designed to be hard to make sure you got your money's worth and didn't beat it right away. You either had the skill, or you just whined like a baby and moved on to the next game, hoping you had the skills to beat it. Robocop games on the NES were put out by Ocean, and Ocean wasn't the best at making games for the NES. Matter of fact, I'd put them on the same level as some of the games LJN licensed from smaller developers (and released them.LJN never made a game)
I can’t believe after 4 times rescueing the princess she finally get’s saved , but once the ending massage says “ this was a story of a ninja from japan” but then it says “however,,,,,,,,” And then the game puts you back at the beginning ,, what kind of nonsense is that?? As if those gaming designers were laving out you to play on ends, knewing that it get’s boring pretty quickly, It will make you believe that 1986 was an boring age.
Just look at these games , so simple and yet so perfect. Games dont need super graphics and sound to be awesome. It is all about the gameplay and the story and the characters that makes them legendary. Unfortunately most newer games miss these things or they are too weak at them.
33 years ago I played this game with my cousins, countless times. The music brings me back to those days. Yes, just like what other commenters said, it feels like it was just yesterday.
Wait...so I didn't beat it, and then just have to play it again with another color? And Wait, Wait! in game time he spends basically a year saving her (Summer, Fall, WInter.) My entire life has been a lie.
"Kage" successfully saved princess "Kiri" from the enemy. All the evils disappeared and the peace pervaded everywhere. This was a story of a young ninja in old days in Japan. However..... Princess "Kiri" got kidnapped again Kage: Oh f*ck! Not again
Little me kept reading his name as "cage" and learned only later that it's Japanese for "shadow." I remember being proud for finishing the game where he and the princess reunite.
I always loved how you could soar through the skies when you jumped. This game always made me feel like a superhero when I played it back in the early 90s....
My tribe! I was only like 6 or 7 when I played this, and back in those days my brother whose 5 years older than me would be the one who would borrow and trade random NES titles with his friends, I just played landed in our room. I tried repeatedly over the years to get him to remember this game, all I could give him to go on though was "the game where the ninjas wife gets kidnapped, and its lightning, and there is a power-up where he can kill all of the enemies onscreen, and the cartridge art had bright colors" that's all I had. At a point I wasn't even sure if the game was real anymore. Funny enough I finally found the game today by just going out on a limb and googling "NES game ninja wife kidnapped", and there it was. On one hand I'm super stoked to have finally cracked the mystery after 30 years, on the other the memory of this game was waaaay more epic in my 6 year old lens, so I kind of wish I'd left it that way.
Same was looking for it but not a long time. I recently check out old nintendo games and thought of this game but don't remember the name. Got lucky the next day youtube recommended this game for me to watch. Thank you, RUclips.
I've played this game 27 years ago, rememered its existence around 15 years ago and have been trying to find its name so I could listen to the music once more. I'm filled with emotions right now, fuck.
When you meet the white enemies, you gotta kill their "butterflies" first and make them fall to the ground before you can defeat those white shadows...
Wait what??? Your only 22 and you have played this when you were a kid? I’m 37 and I played this game like 32 years ago. Or you started playing Nintendo in 2010s. That’s crazy cool tho
Playing Ghost of Tsushima for PC now, for the first time, and this game came to my mind and made me remember how things used to be so different back then. I'm 26 now, and played this NES game right here when I was like, 10, and I remember it all
Man, did I LOVE this game back in the day. The game mechanic was so enjoyable for 8 bit. The high jumping and climbing and what not were rare and cool features.
Everytime that flute thing played I got so scared I would have to leave the room I don't know why. I'm 38 now and came here just to see how I reacted not scared anymore haha.
i don't know why but, this game creeped me out when i was a kid, the way the chracter look and the tucked hands, is giving me a vibes of a long hand monster
I first encountered this beautiful game at a public swimming pool-The arcade was off to the corner and when I started playing something crazy happened..All the money my mother gave me for lunch ended up in the arcade .I didn’t beat the game and I was hungry for the rest of the day..But I have a great lasting memory-
@@BelfastBandit Well said. I think all those problems are contributed by all the shots a baby have to go through when they are still just newborns. Very harmful for them. The human body is just starting to develop an immunity system, but you then are injecting poison into their body. So they will grow up with defects, and it shows.
If you kill the black ninja using your katana, you will be in meditation state... and also if you kill the fire breath with katana, you have to see there is a small stripe on the tree, and you will be in meditation state
We brothers used to play this in the family computer. Now eldest brother is no longer with us physically. We love you Kuya JC, we'll see you again and we will play all these games.
In India we used to think it is based on LORD SHREE RAAM ( MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTER from Ramayan ) The lady which gets kidnapped is SITA-MAA & the Villian is 'ASUR RAVAN' !!
That sudden music almost blew out my eardrums and gave me a heart attack. Also never played this game but heard about it and wanted to see it, which is why I was surprised.
Ese juego marcó una parte de mi niñez, estoy seguro que eran muy pocos los que jugaban a ese juego allá por el 2008, y nunca se le mostraba a nadie por que quería ser el único de mis amigos que lo conocía jajaj lindos recuerdos
Yo también lo jugué nunca pase más del segundo nivel, lo juegue en una dvd pirata que venía con un pequeño cd llamado VCD con más de 300 de estos juegos
This music was classic, over 30 yrs later and I remember it like it was yesterday.
Defined Boundary yeah the music was stuck in my head today even tho I played this game about ~14 years ago so I looked it up to listen.. had to find the game's name first because that part I never actually looked at before.. I only knew which cartridge had what kinda game
that was my sin, this music from this game, so I played
im crying man
Hahahaha same here.. it felt like yesterday. Im in tear to reminisce my childhood days.. Currently 32 years old now heheheh
Yes
I don't know why... but i was very scared to play this game when i was little.
The music, The chills , The Thunder, Fire breathing Person coming from all directions.
but it was iconic 🤩
Me too I was scared haha
Me too this game gives me some kind of scary vibes
Me too, but with other games, circus charlie for example
@@monicaelisabethmelgarejo4670 omg yes finally someone said it.
Haha same here
...I never knew this game had a ending. I thought it just went on and on forever.
However....
..it takes forever...
i managed only up to 3rd level....snow forest lol
@@jakemason3586, I completed the whole level
Haha me too
7 years old me playing this game all day long....so nostalgic ❤

Ya same..
Same!
Same with me buddy
I setup my phone as emulator with Ipega gamepad. I binge watched old NES games and finally youtube recomended this video. I feel so happy now.
Dude, same story for me, I had been wondering what this game was called for years!
i have been trying to find this for over 10 years!! one of my best childhood memories ❤ the music is still so good
shout out for that blue shinobi that keep kidnapping the princess. that NINJA is quick
hahahaha
He must've work for Bowser too
@@doggo_87__60 hahahaha
😂😂😂
🤣😅🤣😅
When I was a kid I scared of this music.
Me too, especially the music when he kind and f prays, and everybody falls to the ground
My childwood favourite game
Me to🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Same here
i used to play this game a lot when i was a little kid. i just found this game again and nostalgia is overwhelming
Me tooo
same
Play it again and see if it still holds up! emubrowser.com/games/nes/legend-kage
Yeah its not like i remembered it
Me too. So nostalgic. Now i'm 29.
I have been searching for this game for over 25 years lol, finally found it. I still remember playing this with my sister, such an incredible game!
Wow.. when i was a kid i finished this game twice.. 29 yrs later it still feels nostalgically fresh :)
I used to play it and shout at my dad for not allowing for more than 2 hours of game play. I miss my dad, he died of covid-19 and this music and game put me in the 1998 era.
I remember this game being very stressful for me...but still...so many goosebumps
When you play the same stage but in different color... you know is the real deal...
DAndross Haha
Wow..so when i was a little fat i was a master (sorry for bad english..i'm not north American)
Goaydamn shit is real!!
Hahahahaah
Hahaha
7:54 lol i think i only manage to get this far as a child back then. this game is soooooooooo hard as i remember
No way!!! I thought the sama shit bruh😂
Only a True Master can make it to see the end of this game. I still consider it nearly impossible to win.
George Ofori-Atta my mom beat the game lol idk how she does it
I was 6 when I beat that game on russian famicom cheap copy called Pegasus ;)
Ya it's harder then it looks haha
Pegasus was the taiwan copy of nes that was sold in Poland by two Polish guys, whom after the law was made up and had made copies illegal , turned to produce fizzy drinks, which are still popular today. A fun fact.
Never got past level 2 as a kid, but kept coming back for more b/c the soundtrack was soooo good.

You have to have godlike patience for this game
I used to have such patience... as a child playing this game. Now, everything's crazy, I can't take it, & just want the Simplicity of Babyhood back!

Indeed
I actually made it till the ghost fire breathing wizards level. I couldnt believe that i did it. Was 12/13 yrs old. It hink
Never finished this game. damn... the memories of it
God bless the NES. It made an otherwise abusive childhood, escapeable.
@Tyrone Taylor
Why the face? I agree with OP. Nintendo was my escape as well. Legend of Kage was one of my favorite NES games.
As did the GameBoy, Sega Genesis, & N64
I used to play with my mom in my childhood but she is no more, Miss you mom
I literally searched "whats the old game with the ninja and princess"
Lmao
I went with ninja trees nes =P
Exactly 🤣🤣
I did as “ninja retro games “
@@MuyassarMostafa Do I count?
The princess spent more time with him, and finally married the ninja in blue.
This game has a red pill message. No matter how many times you saved a woman she taken back to the streets 💯
I can’t believe after 4 times rescueing the princess she finally get’s saved , but once the ending massage says “ this was a story of a ninja from japan” but then it says “however,,,,,,,,”
And then the game puts you back at the beginning ,, what kind of nonsense is that?? As if those gaming designers were laving out you to play on ends, knewing that it get’s boring pretty quickly,
It will make you believe that 1986 was an boring age.
Yup she belong to the streets g leave her there
Lmfao didn't expected red pill bomb here like that 😂😂
the blue shinobi: you had a choice ninja. take the blue just leave her there
"Don't save her. She don't wanna be saved."
Just look at these games , so simple and yet so perfect. Games dont need super graphics and sound to be awesome. It is all about the gameplay and the story and the characters that makes them legendary. Unfortunately most newer games miss these things or they are too weak at them.
These new games nowadays are basically designed strictly for Micro transactions. They only wanna keep you spending
These are created with love thats why they are masterpieces
@@furkanyokus7856 so fun. I spent hours popping quarters on this 😂
I don’t know how I got here but man, you took me back to when I was 6 years old. Wow , I miss those times ☹️
Finally found it! I’ve missed this game so much.
I googled old ninja Arcade game
33 years ago I played this game with my cousins, countless times. The music brings me back to those days. Yes, just like what other commenters said, it feels like it was just yesterday.
Wait...so I didn't beat it, and then just have to play it again with another color? And Wait, Wait! in game time he spends basically a year saving her (Summer, Fall, WInter.) My entire life has been a lie.
HOLY SHIT
Summer, Fall, Winter is a year for you??? That could only take months between august and december.
What the fuck man?! You just blew my mind.
Yep!
yeah that's what I was thinking lol
Reliving my childhood once again.
Thank you for uploading the video.
The music still give me chills and anxiety.
😂😂😂yeah
Dude HAHAAHA
I love this game so much back then as a kid.
And this music has been one of my fav ringtone for the past 10-12 years
This was my favorite game. I still remember the day I completed the whole game..... Oh... The memories are killing me
However.......
Shunday birodar
"Kage" successfully saved princess "Kiri" from the enemy. All the evils disappeared and the peace pervaded everywhere.
This was a story of a young ninja in old days in Japan.
However.....
Princess "Kiri" got kidnapped again
Kage: Oh f*ck! Not again
Mario: First time?
Ah shit... Here we go again...
No wonder it took him so long, I can never see my shadow when it's foggy.
After 30years finally im finished to see the end...
It was one of my childhood games I played it since 25 or even 30 years ago but this my first time to know this game had end 😅
Little me kept reading his name as "cage" and learned only later that it's Japanese for "shadow." I remember being proud for finishing the game where he and the princess reunite.

‘cause you were 12

8-year-old me was mindblown the first time I got the scroll item and saw its ninjutsu spell animation. The music gave me goosebumps as well...
This song was really frigthening for me when I was a kid
here we go again
I'll never forget the sound at 1:15
Loolaliloolooloolooloolooloolooloo
😂😂😂😂😂
The music hits when you play at night alone
Everytime that flute thing played I got so scared I would have to leave the room I don't know why. I'm 38 now and came here just to see how I reacted not scared anymore haha.
That's not a flute even i though so.. Actually it is a sacred scroll..
I wasnt scared of that but deeply disturbed xD
I use to play this GAME tooo MUCH when i was small...i love this GAME tooo Much and Love this Game MUSICS too❤❤❤❤❤
dis probably only game wher touching enemies is ok. also the gravity must be really weak in that planet
However... oh fuck.
24 years later, I still get goosebumps when I hear that prayer music.
I miss my childhood😭😭
Ohh my God!!! After 18 years...Just unlocked my old memories. How cool those days were!
Omg this music brings me back lotta memories. Miss u pa :(
I just searched for "classic ninja nintendo game" and I found this gem. My favourite classic game 🥺
Nostalgia,playing this in megajoy about 20 years ago 😂
i don't know why but, this game creeped me out when i was a kid, the way the chracter look and the tucked hands, is giving me a vibes of a long hand monster
Great music
I played this game 24 years ago.
All are shatered memory until today. What a chilhood.

I cried alot when I heard this music 1:31 , sounds so scary for a kid, even now! :(((
*LoL...true btw, where ru from miss?* 👀

My childhood game i played with my friend in their house. Thanks for relive the old memories.
When I was a kid I thought those were his arms, didn't know he was holding ⚔️
I know a lot of you just skip it and watched the ending 😂 I'm feeling nostalgic. One of my favorite game when i was a kid💕
@1:32 Epic prayer kill music #nostalgia
Finally saw the ending, not able to clear first stage of the this game during my childhood…
omg my childhood is coming back at me now
This is not just a game 😭😭😭😭
The first time I completed this game, I was so excited, along with the solitude.
I first encountered this beautiful game at a public swimming pool-The arcade was off to the corner and when I started playing something crazy happened..All the money my mother gave me for lunch ended up in the arcade .I didn’t beat the game and I was hungry for the rest of the day..But I have a great lasting memory-
I was there, because of the AVGN.
Where will I find this game, one of my favourite childhood time game.... Seriously feel like playing it again 😔
Used to play this in the arcade. Great platform.
I remember i couldn't find the name of this game over 20 years and just remembering jumping tree to tree
This game also should have had a seizure warning because that lightning flashing was extreme
