@@AzumaRikimaru1 True enough. Heck, I kinda feel like the Kagura boss fight in Tenchu 3 (the one with the dog) laid some inspiration for Kiba (though he, and his clan, are obviously more-so inspired by Princess Mononoke).
This is a first release of tenshu launched in japan, later they launch a better version (like a version 1.1 or something like that) in america and finally relaunched the improved version on japan as well... this was the first Tenshu I play, a friend from japan send it to me as a birthday gift, few weeks after its release.
I couldn't believe that when I got a replacement of this a month ago after my old one broke, I got the Greatest Hits version what I had before, and it's always been the Japanese intro. I've never seen the original American intro until 2 minutes ago... I like this (Japanese intro) better, but than again, this is my childhood.
it's funny because the same thing happened to me years ago when I was kid but it's the opposite,the original version I had played this intro,but my disk got scratched up so I had to replace it,and the replacement had the one with the black and white intro.
I bought Tenchu from a thrift store, it didn't boot up on my PS2 or my PS3. So I returned it and got another one, and since it was the Greatest Gits version, it came with this intro. I was astounded. I never seen this intro before. It genuinely surprised me.
This was the first M rated game I ever played. My dad kinda dropped the ball when he let me play this game when I was 5 in 2002. I believe this was the feather that started the avalanche that turned me into a weeb.
Wow, I've never seen this video, either. Don't know how I feel about it. The original video was much more subtle, tranquil. This is more action-sequence like.
Yo hace unos meses tube la suerte de hacerme con ub disco de este juego muy barato, y esperaba la intro de siempre con la katana hasta que vi esta intro, la cual desconocia. Me gusta mas la otra por que es la que conozco, pero esta tiene escenas muy impresionantes.
It’s an alternate version of the American release it’s the one I bought ages ago I was actually surprised years later when I found out it wasn’t the one that every release came with
soul exodia this opening is only present in the Black Label version of the game. If he happened to have gotten the greatest hits version that you will have a different opening that swear it's a black and white filtered CGI intro. this opening was also present in the expansion pack for the game that was only released in Japan.
Wait a minute. What intro is THIS?! I don't remember the intro for the first Tenchu being this elaborate. There sure as hell wasn't a scene of Rikimaru practicing his martial arts, or Ayame practicing with her shuriken in the courtyard. Is this a different version of the game or somethin'?
L1b3rta it was in the original release for Tenchu: Stealth Assassins. the greatest hits version had a different intro to go with it. if you happen to be on eBay looking for a copy of this game with the original intro, the way you could tell you're getting this game with the original intact is these two characteristics: 1. if its the black label one, then it means that the original opening is intact. 2. If the disc itself only has the american logo and not the japanese logo that is written on the side of the american logo.
Best intro of tenchu games to the side and together of wrath of Haven, 3 and 2, other game version looks amazing is tenchu dark secret nintendo DS this last version cited looks have the onikage like one of playables characters in the game for sign my favorite character since of first version of the game and tenchu game serie, he is the Sidney of vagrant story Raiden of metal gear. Tenchu game serie need one or more animes versions and new game versions and styles like beat em up, action adventure, aarpg, RPG tradditional and tactics version maybe untill racer in 3d graphic and anime like street of rage 4, turtle ninja Double dragon 4 switch or tkof 13, multiplayer online and all characters playables untill since of wrath of haven game include onikage maybe one version of him or or other New character with kusarigama chain scyther snake whip sword or with retratile retractible blade and maybe one new woman with hadadie naginata lancer spear weapon, tesshuo and. Rin etc, behind of animes. Anyway good game and série franchise waiting for more Thiago da Silva Lisboa Brazilian of Brazil.

The best Tenchu ever
I had this version of game intro. I am from Russia. This was best memories of my childhood ❤️
У меня тоже с таким интро версия была.)
Still gives me chills
Without Rikimaru, we would not have Kakashi. Without Onikage, we would not have Orochimaru.
Without Ayame we would not have Anko.

The memories :,)
Me too
just the other day literally found this and was quite thrilled the PS3 plays it!!
Thank you for posting :D Brings me lot of memories and peaceful feelings

This game had one of the coldest intros of all time
The GOAT of ninja games!
예전에 집에서 즐겨 했었는데, 음악이 인상적,벌써 세월이..
Onikage creeped me out alot when I first saw this scene and the game.
the memories

My brother had Tenchu: Stealth Assassins on PS1. The game had one of the best intro sequences of a video game ever. Epic at 0:49 and 1:09.
Such a masterpiece
Good memories....awesome game
I used to have this game like 8 years ago, for my playstation :)
This was the first M rated game I ever played. My dad kinda dropped the ball when he let me play this game when I was 5 in 2002.
I believe this was the feather that started the avalanche that turned me into a weeb.
I never knew this intro existed.
played it when i was 14 now 26 i hope they bring this remastered before im 30 :(
Wow, I've never seen this video, either. Don't know how I feel about it. The original video was much more subtle, tranquil. This is more action-sequence like.
Sure love to watch this awesome game turning into a live action movie or animated movie 🎥 😀
Esse jogo era incrível marcou demais a geração do PS1 no Brazil.
EPIC game !!
Goes to show that graphics can age over time but atmosphere doesn’t - love this game
This was the Greatest Hits intro of the game.
Watching this after beating Ghost of Tsushima... I think this game will be the closest we'll ever get to Tenchu
Nah
Sekiro is the closest, but no exist nothing like tenchu. At the beginning Sekiro wanna be a new game of tenchu saga.
Love this game!
Excelente intro y mas porque Rikimaru aparece ejecutando un kata de karate real...!!
Yo hace unos meses tube la suerte de hacerme con ub disco de este juego muy barato, y esperaba la intro de siempre con la katana hasta que vi esta intro, la cual desconocia. Me gusta mas la otra por que es la que conozco, pero esta tiene escenas muy impresionantes.
I still play this game but I never saw this intro before XD
This into was for a specific Version in the US which was the “greatest hits” editions
good times. 2019
I hope all tenchu series from ps 1 and 2, psp X-box will be remake into one 2 blue ray / 3 with the title back to the future for the PS5
bueda fixe,bueda fixe mesmo,adorei. tenchu para sempre.
i love this game but its really hard tho great vid! :)
Nostalgia do caraleo
"STEP ASIDE OR I'LL HAVE TO KILL YOU" - Always give me that 'game on vibe'

This will become a lost midia
Classics are forever. :'3 ...thanks for sharing this. *****
0:38
This intro is only for the USA release. It never made it in the European release.
Is onikage marylin manson?
Play Mark of the Ninja ... best game in this style ;)
PS : i'm a fan of Tenchu, played again and again every episodes.
2022☕😊
My version of the game didn't start with Ayame! it went straight to the mountains...
Orochikage. :'DD
this is the japanese version of Tenchu
BUSHIDO 💯
you don`t have the complete ost version
hm what version was this because my intro wasnt like this in my tenchu game.. PAL version? or one of the unreleased
It was a specific American version the “ Greatest hits” Version
can you guys believe that suzako in tenchu 2 was onkiage
I never seen this intro and I have the American and Japanese versions, where this intro comes out? perhaps Europe?
It’s an alternate version of the American release it’s the one I bought ages ago I was actually surprised years later when I found out it wasn’t the one that every release came with
meant to say ninjas...i failed
how can you se this intro? O-O i dont remember it in the game.
soul exodia this opening is only present in the Black Label version of the game. If he happened to have gotten the greatest hits version that you will have a different opening that swear it's a black and white filtered CGI intro. this opening was also present in the expansion pack for the game that was only released in Japan.
You got that backwards there buddy, this is the Greatest Hits version intro.
Krist the 30 Year Old Boomer lol....right
Wait a minute. What intro is THIS?! I don't remember the intro for the first Tenchu being this elaborate. There sure as hell wasn't a scene of Rikimaru practicing his martial arts, or Ayame practicing with her shuriken in the courtyard. Is this a different version of the game or somethin'?
You had to not press the start button, after awhile intro would start
🎉😊
For which version of the game was this the intro? Is this a Japanese exclusive release or something? I don't recall any of these images.
L1b3rta it was in the original release for Tenchu: Stealth Assassins. the greatest hits version had a different intro to go with it. if you happen to be on eBay looking for a copy of this game with the original intro, the way you could tell you're getting this game with the original intact is these two characteristics: 1. if its the black label one, then it means that the original opening is intact. 2. If the disc itself only has the american logo and not the japanese logo that is written on the side of the american logo.
Pretty strange: the european version has completely different intro o_O
yes xd I remember that I played it in my play 1 and I had this intro but now that I play it in emulator it is the European version and it is different
ha this ninja dog :D
this section are very many and do you now yet not have been last to the last.
ONIKAGE
Onna
Best intro of tenchu games to the side and together of wrath of Haven, 3 and 2, other game version looks amazing is tenchu dark secret nintendo DS this last version cited looks have the onikage like one of playables characters in the game for sign my favorite character since of first version of the game and tenchu game serie, he is the Sidney of vagrant story Raiden of metal gear.
Tenchu game serie need one or more animes versions and new game versions and styles like beat em up, action adventure, aarpg, RPG tradditional and tactics version maybe untill racer in 3d graphic and anime like street of rage 4, turtle ninja Double dragon 4 switch or tkof 13, multiplayer online and all characters playables untill since of wrath of haven game include onikage maybe one version of him or or other New character with kusarigama chain scyther snake whip sword or with retratile retractible blade and maybe one new woman with hadadie naginata lancer spear weapon, tesshuo and. Rin etc, behind of animes.
Anyway good game and série franchise waiting for more Thiago da Silva Lisboa Brazilian of Brazil.
0:37-0:39
Bone
Only my cd was bugged in this intro? Onicage face was like minecraft graphics...first time seing this with correct faces, lol.
영화 예고편 보는것 같다
Why haven't we gotten a remake yet? No, Sekiro doesn't count.
I hated the Greatest hits version for some reason.. I have both versions and prefer the original intro then this one..
this is the original dumbass
Definitely... This actually looks horrible in my opinion, the only good thing is the music.
Joaquín Bermúdez Castanheira
The facial image of the female ninja looks better in this version than the US version.
fuck you
This version is much better, the US version is garbage
You know nothing about a good classic man
Are you okay in the head lol. This version is by far way better
I remember while watching this intro how mejestic would be the sight of a Japanese castle.
And then when i visited Nagoya i could behold 1st person. 🥲
