I remember the Nintendo version, that was hard as balls when I was young. A friend and I spent many weekends just trying to get through, and never did beat it.

I only played the arcade version. Lots of quarters spent.

I did finish the game with a "single coin" on MAME decades later.

Never thought I would see the 3D/reboot trilogy on PC. Games that stayed true to the arcade and NES games by being hard as all f*ck. But also sh1tty cameras, kinda buggy. I heard the 3rd one Razor's edge one wasn't that great too. Never played it myself. The first one was a good showpiece for the original Xbox hardware. If it wasn't for the difficulty, the bugs, and the infuriating camera, it would have been a pretty good and fun game. If you mastered that game's weapons and combo systems though, good gawd. And that was greatly expanded with the different weapons and styles in the second game. The dismemberment system in that second game on X360 I remember being kinda impressive too. I have friends who enjoy Nioh 1 and 2 (I haven't played either), and they can feel a bit of those three Ninja Gaiden games in them.

I couldn't believe one of my friends beat the first game running on emulator on a tablet. He was using the f*cking touchscreen, and he made it through the first NES game. I don't even know how to process that. Maybe he can try a dance pad or guitar controller next, sheesh.

Yeah all 3 NES games were good. Very cinematic games for the time. Haha yeah those were the kinds of games where you had to make wishes with the Game Genie to get through 'em. I still got the first one with box, sleeve, and manual.

One of my good buddies owns this arcade game. All my experience with it had been through emulators like MAME. It was really something to be able to play it on the original hardware. I'm sure I have a picture of the arcade board around here somewhere.

I remember playing some Ninja Gaiden game on Xbox OG and it was hard as f*ck. I never finished it.

I never made it past the first boss in that game.
