Game of the Day: Ninja Gaiden Todays game of the day is infamous not only for being innovative, but for being one of the most brutally difficult games not only on the NES, but any system. Todays game of the day is Ninja Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden puts you in the role of Ryu Hayabusa, a young ninja who upon learning of his fathers death travels to the U.S. to find answers. While there he gets entangled in a life or death struggle with a mysterious organization which is trying to bring back to life an ancient demon. Ninja Gaiden is one of the games that truly defined the NES. When people use the term NES Difficulty this is often one of the games that gets lumped into it, and with good reason. This is one of those games that doesnt hold your hand like many titles today. The first level is easy enough but once you enter into level 2, the kids gloves are off, and by the time you get to the end of the game, you have to be a master to finish it. However to compensate the players, this game gives you unlimited continues (which believe me youll need) as youll die often, generally from enemies that come at you from out of no where (birds generally). However this game is also known for another thing, and that was introducing cut scenes to the gaming world. It did this in letterbox style format generally with anime style characters. This helped enhance the game from a traditional action title by really fleshing out the characters and story. To this day the story of Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2 is stronger than a lot of games today. Overall Ninja Gaiden is one of the greatest games ever made, and a title that should be played by everyone. The game doesnt hold your hand, and it will make you its b****, but at the end of the day, if you can beat it, you are left with one very satisfying gaming experience. The game is now available on the Virtual Console for both Wii and 3DS, so there really isnt any reason to not get this game. youtu.be/DIcOjUaf5P8
