Me too!!! Still one of my favorites till this day, I remember playing this on the way to and from school everyday it was a huge part of my childhood. After that I’ve always loved video games
Second game - After the very first Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games *_(Beijing 2008)_* - on my DS; Which I think I got as a birthday gift. I *_LOVE_* this game!
*FUN FACT:* You either start the game on your birthday, *OR,* set your birthday as the same date - Yes! You can *TRICK THE GAME!* - you start/play the game, instead of hearing the normal sound upon touching the touchscreen on the title screen, you will hear Momiji wish you Happy Birthday!!
Never played this one before but heard of it. Ninja Gaiden II (2008) took a lot from this I see. Well, NGII was in development when this came out. Nice that a few of the diaries Ryu finds in the latter references the events of Dragon Sword taking place 6 months prior.
15:48 Holy shit, I remember this so clearly. All the other bosses in the game were just reimaginings of the NGB bosses and then they drop Rasetsu on us with our ninpo already used up. I played this before NG2 and he wrecked me for like an hour and a half. Beating him felt amazing.
Several names should be different: Skeleton Dragon -> Paz Zuu Rasetsu -> Black Spider Fiend or something since Rasetsu is a unique individual in NGII Vigoorian -> Vigoor Emperor Archfiend -> Dark Dragon
I Remember I played this so much and I have a little piece of memory of fighting some kind of clone of Ryu on a secundary quest platform, but I haven’t seen a single vid’ of that guy. It’s like no one ever fought him or at least uploaded a vid’ fighting him, but I know he exists.
I love that Nicchae was scared of the Dark Dragon and the end of the reality. Never seen a Greater Fiends like that in the Ninja Gaiden games. This game is truly a gem in the NG lore.
This game was one of the best games on DS no cap. I remember I was playing it and I got so mad and raged at it literally would throw the DS or just hit the screen. Amazing game tho. The only part I struggled with was the end part and the first boss at the forest of shadows. I even restarted the game a bunch of times to try to beat it but my technique was wrong. 10/10.
Kinda wish this was part of the Master Collection. But that certainly wouldn't work, as this game is wholly centered around the stylus only game play. It could have used a remake, but its literally Ninja Gaiden lite. The aesthetic they went with on the DS is great, and shouldn't be touched. Real cool gem on that handheld.
Bruh, i've played this game since 2010 and still haven't done it on Master Ninja, every other one i've done, even Momiji's story. Got stuck on Chapter 10 with Master Ninja
Hey, so i remember unlocking this random female ninja. Not momoji tho. Was it a glitch or something of a game+ type deal? Cause i don't remember very well, its been years since i played this game
From the lore if I'm not wrong is 6 months after NG1 because that game took place during the 'Dark Dragon Blade incident' and in a cutscene it says something about the time period after which this game is set
I *LOVE* this game!! But GOD do some things _Not_ make sense!!! What _IS_ happening to Momiji during the cutscene halfway through the battle against Ishtaros????
@@A_xothermic: First, I think you mean Family; Kureha, her dead sister, appears. Second, I'm speaking of the glow & crackling electrical sound before that, when she screamed Ryu's name
No offense but... you didn't pay atention. The Dragon's Eye is fused within her, so Ishtaros was taking the gem out of her so she and Nicchae could revive The Holy Vigoor Emperor.
is it just me or was doku the easiest boss to kill? one art of the wind blades was enough to get his health down to half but even then, you didn’t need any ninpo to defeat him because of how easy his attacks were to dodge. me personally I killed him for the first time in about a minute or so, definitely the shortest boss fight I’ve ever done in my life
@@imafreakinninja12 ha indeed. You should look for DoA3's Ryu. The loose hair costume... never seen him like that before. However, I think this was the best Ryu moment because is the only game where we got smiles Hayabusa lmao.
@@mangelangel2570 I actually drew that outfit for my art account since the hair was so awesome. I really want to try the Xbox exclusive games, but I need to find a good way to emulate them. Xbox emulation is far from where PlayStation and Nintendo is.
Because of the style of the game and because he actually looked kinda androgyne back then in the DoA games. Look for the final costume of Ryu in DoA3... could be a girl, only the body tells it's a boy.
This game will always hold a special place in my heart because it was the first video game I ever played on my ds which was my first game system
Me too ❤ best graphic in nds
The first ever game I played was Ninja Gaiden Black.

This game is one of my favorite games ive played and my god the nostalgia
My second ever DS game, after the very first (Beijing 2008) Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
@@Alysa-Aiday omg both of these games, absolute fire, me and my brother would race from school to home to play as much as we could, loved those days
Man, I missed this game...
theres a shit load of copies on ebay for dirt cheap
Same. I think I was 11 when i got this and never beat the game
Probably one of my favorite games
@@brucehammadalee3835 As an incompetent 9 year old i tried so incredibly hard to beat this game and finally succeeded lmao
@@saskia4313 i probably wouldve beat it if i tried hard enough but i traded it in for new super mario bros. Good times.
Truly an underrated game
Deserving of a remaster on the Switch, or whatever handheld/portable system Nintendo makes after the Switch??
@@Alysa-Aiday there's a Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection for the switch...
@@phitc4242: Why must Switch be so expensive though? $300 or something
@@phitc4242Not even the same game bro
@@ohnstale6545 bro
I played this on NDS when I was little, damn the nostalgic feels bruhh
sameeeeee damn does time fly
Time flies
Glad to say this was my first RPG game I’ve ever played as 11 yr old.
Oh man, I loved playing this when I was younger! This was my favourite!
The nostalgia hits hard on this one...
truly one of the ds games ever
Underrated masterpiece
This was for sure sekiro for us back in the day
I played this year's ago! I miss it so much! I finished it so many times on my DS and kept playing it over and over koz I loved it so much. Momiji ❤
*FUN FACT:* You either start the game on your birthday, *OR,* set your birthday as the same date - Yes! You can *TRICK THE GAME!* - you start/play the game, instead of hearing the normal sound upon touching the touchscreen on the title screen, you will hear Momiji wish you Happy Birthday!!

Im not sure but i thought this came after 2 but before sigma 2

Ah yes, the game that introduced everyone's favorite shrine maiden Momiji.
Several names should be different:
Skeleton Dragon -> Paz Zuu
Rasetsu -> Black Spider Fiend or something since Rasetsu is a unique individual in NGII
Vigoorian -> Vigoor Emperor
Archfiend -> Dark Dragon
This game is the reason I grew up wanting to become a ninja
Are you a ninja now?
@@mangelangel2570 no i just play cod
Nostalgia hiting me so fast

It was in the higher difficulties, it's the fiend doppelganger, he's in the original on xbox too.
OMG I miss this game bro 😭😭
not gonna lie the boss designs are pretty great
They looked even better as a kid
Ive never had a good enough internet connection for dark souls so this game was my dark souls
Should have called this game Archer Gaiden: Explosive Bow.
😂😂
You don't get the bow until chapter 4 or 5
@@emersonmejia9976 you get the normal bow pretty early on, and its just op from then on out. And it's also basically required for the dragon fights.
@@spazzmaticus9086 I spammed red UTs over the bow
@@Kraftium I guess you could do that if you can move your hand fast enough
It's very good by a DS game！ I come here because by Ninja Gaiden Collection is coming released！
This was my first game game in nds :')
I love that Nicchae was scared of the Dark Dragon and the end of the reality. Never seen a Greater Fiends like that in the Ninja Gaiden games. This game is truly a gem in the NG lore.
When I was little, I beat this game without dodge rolling
That's great
Was I the only one that drew out the nimpo slowly for it to feel more dramatic and badass 💀

I love the whole Ninja Gaiden Sigma serie and this game is so beautiful ;) especially the end
Why are my eyes sweating 🥲
I'm glad my mom bought me this game when I was little and had my DS
It’s nice to see a more PG take on the Ninja Gaiden series for a change, given how gory the games have gotten since the 2004 instalment.
Damn i missed something i didn't know it was on the DS
This was my favorite thing when I was like 9.
😮😮Awesome！！

Yeah that difficulty is the only thing I never touched in this game 😂 hell no, younger me wanted to keep her sanity lmao
I was so salty that he didn't deflect anything
Bro same 😂 could've finished some of these way quicker
Sorry, the 3rd Boss is not Bone Dragon!
Underrated asf
Prototype Call is Alfredo Ahumad
Bobby has Two Inga Inga Inga you right Bobby its Inga Inga
This is nostalgic as fuck man.
Yup🤟🤟
I really miss that game I unlocked momiji they changed her name to rin in master very hard mode no damage full HP
It bring back memories.
And thats Gloria this old lady monster ninja.
26:49
This is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in my life.
That Spider Clan Claw is you in ds nintendo ninja gaiden link too resident evil gaiden
Was anyone else mad that he was only using left and right slices
Damn i forgot about this
It went on by itself Gloria writing....
Hey, so i remember unlocking this random female ninja. Not momoji tho. Was it a glitch or something of a game+ type deal? Cause i don't remember very well, its been years since i played this game
Ninpo skills are broken in this game XD
boss looks nice
So now I understand momonji story in sigma 2
Ninja Gaiden True Sword .I Beat The Game Already.
Remember me all the Dark Dragon Stones
This was the first game I ever played on my ds when I was like 7 never beat it
How did you map the touch screen controls to a controller? Also how did you make it look like that no matter what setting I use it looks like crap
The true ninja gaiden 2...
chronologically right
@@darkesthunter26 well, actually Ninja Gaiden II is NG Shadows
I heard that this was supposed to be the second game but doesn't make sense since NGII and NG:DS were launched in the same year 2008.
They should’ve made a part 2 for the 3ds what a shame
Jossie Powell said mom screamed
タッチパネル削れるくらいやりまくったわwwwwww
Does *Anyone* know how I can find images of just the Monster that is the boss of Chapter 10?
Ishtaros was pain.
Ikr
This get is set between Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2.
From the lore if I'm not wrong is 6 months after NG1 because that game took place during the 'Dark Dragon Blade incident' and in a cutscene it says something about the time period after which this game is set
I *LOVE* this game!! But GOD do some things _Not_ make sense!!!
What _IS_ happening to Momiji during the cutscene halfway through the battle against Ishtaros????
My best guess is the power of friendship
@@A_xothermic: First, I think you mean Family; Kureha, her dead sister, appears. Second, I'm speaking of the glow & crackling electrical sound before that, when she screamed Ryu's name

I remenber play this and complete it with 7-8 years old
I was trying complete story mode again with the girl but I lose the game
9:18 lmfao
Man i wish this game was remade and part of the master collection.
Exclusive for Nintendo Switch.

So that was the true form of the dragon sword.
Appears in every 3D NG.

The final boss is Dark Rathalos

i played ng black and it was paz zuu and bone dragon was a dragon made of bones
Yeah he's called Paz Zuu and 'Vigoorian' is the Holy Vigoor Emperor
Thats Computer Ryu Hayabusa
Doku was easy. Obama and Ishtaros were really hard for me.
goddamn president beating the shit out of me
Damn Obama kicked your ass?
Yep. Had to spend hours on Obama to unlock True Ninja Mode

Never heard of him kkkkkkkk

Nerds are crazy for it Inga why thats not her these ingas it must be they the same too.
Strider you a fallen nerd god your 2D i beat your games how did you get away from Obsession and these people.
To Africa thats you. Yeah
That's what Hayabusa looks like? Looks so girly
Haha I remember playing this after black and thinking wtf when he was maskless.
Because of the style of the game and because he actually looked kinda androgyne back then in the DoA games. Look for the final costume of Ryu in DoA3... could be a girl, only the body tells it's a boy.
Fallen said the nerd looks just like that Beyonce Knowles their masters. With long hair as fanel well show you 3000 is a nerd ask him remember god.
