This is one of those games I beat myself up for not having finished...and then realize I am not alone in my struggle.

Now the first thing that I want to say is, well done.

This game is freaking hard and you still persevered through it.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the trick that allows you to attack really fast. I don't remember it off the top of my head but it's something to do with jumping and hitting down. I remember it from watching a speed run.

Good to see a video again too =p

EDIT: Found the glitch, so you jump in the air and press down on the d-pad and swing your sword. You then release down and the quickly hit it again. You keep releasing the down button and depressing it again until you hit the ground. This should allow you to get more swings in.

#3 yay ninja gaiden its been sooooooooooooo long since i played this game thank you lordkat

here is a great recepie
Deep-Fried Twinkies Ingredients

For Twinkies:

• 6 Twinkies
• Popsicle sticks
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• Flour for dusting

For batter:

•1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon oil
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Twinkie Directions

1. Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight.

2. Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees.

Batter Directions

1. Mix together milk, vinegar and oil. 2. In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt. 3. Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth. 4. Refrigerate while oil heats. 5. Push stick into Twinkie lengthwise, leaving about 2 inches to use as a handle, dust with flour and dip into the batter. 6. Rotate Twinkie until batter covers entire cake. 7. Place carefully in hot oil. The Twinkie will float, so hold it under with a utensil to ensure even browning. 8. It should turn golden in 3 to 4 minutes. 9. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, you might be able to fry only one at a time, two at the most. 10. Remove Twinkie to paper towel and let drain. Remove stick and allow Twinkie to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 6.

Variation: Slice Twinkie into 4 pieces. Flour and batter each before frying. With this treatment, one Twinkie will serve two people if accompanied by a sauce.

Berry Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 10-ounce jar of seedless raspberry preserves
• 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, heat preserves over low heat until melted.
2. Add 1 cup of fresh or frozen mixed berries.
3. Heat until sauce just simmers.
4. Cover; refrigerate until served.

Nintendo games are strange sometimes. I never had much trouble beating this game... don't get me started on NG3 though (I swear that game is impossible). Funny thing. I still can't beat Super Mario Bros. 2.

Nice runthrough of the game. I'd probably need that. Also, might I add that you did a good impression of the Ripper Christopher Walken?

"OH YOU THINK THAT'S HARD? I'M JUST THE TUTORIAL LEVEL! THAT'S THE NEXT LEVEL OVER THERE!"

I'm so glad that this game is on the Virtual Console. I know there are emulators out there, but they don't hold up to the VC's emulation. You literally feel like you're playing an old NES game.

Awesome Gaiden ftw!

I still can't beat this game. :(

[b]This is an example of a cross-over done right.[/b]

"It's also a mission you have to complete"

It's true.

One tip I would like to add is that knowing which Ninpo to use at certain times is essential. Generally the game gives you the best magic in a candle just before the area it's most effective in.

[b]That's exactly how you beat this game, most people (like my friends) swear that you have to save the Ninpo for the bosses but I think that they're for the levels![/b]

The cinema Snob was hilarious! I'm glad I'm seeing more of him.

That would be an interesting title to a book or exam paper.

Congrats to the gaming god that is LordKat.

Will you play the other two NES Ninja Gaiden games? I bet Ninja Gaiden 3 is pretty much impossible.

O come on, it's not that hard, I beat this game myself. I guess that makes me an ol-school gamer. This game brings back so many fond memories...

HOLY SH**!

It's [b][u]BRAD JONES[/u][/b]! THE CINEMA SNOB! HOLY FIDDLE STICKS.

Great video, two fantastically talented people = victory.

You are not even worthy to mention Nerd and Benzai's name, learn to fuck yourself because you are too pathetic to be saved

isnt the main charakter from ninja gaiden also in dead or alive sieres?

There's no fuckin way you could've got to the final boss with full life bar.

He probably died and had to start at 6-1 again. If you die at the final boss you have to start at the beginning of the stage, but when you get to the boss again you play whichever form he was in when you died. I believe there is also a life potion just before the boss.

Finally you did Ninja Gaiden episode. And it was worth the wait. Also it was great to see Kung Tai Ted doing crossover with you.

This is kinda dumb, but I purposely die when I get to the boss's third form, only because I can stock up on Ninpo points on the replay, and kill him super easy with the upward fireball spell (you don't actually need to cut off the head or tail before you can hit the heart). I was actually impressed by the video because it looked like you found a sweet spot where the goo wasn't hitting you.

For NG3 - I don't consider this cheating, since they took away the unlimited continues from the first 2 games: 99 continues:
Allow the title screen to fade out to the introduction sequence. Press Start to return to the title screen again. Repeat this six more times so you that see the title screen a total of eight times. At the eighth appearance of the title screen, hold Up/Left + A + B + Select and press Start.

Here's a link to an extremely impressive (IMO) no-hit run of Ninja Gaiden [url]http:// www.youtube.com/ view_play_list? p=9AEABB422BE03347& playnext=1& playnext_from=PL[/url]

Mission Impossible nezt? Yay! A NES game I actually own :D

Oh man...another dumbass who post before watching, grow more brain!

Awesome work LordKat. I'm so glad you are at last doing Mission Impossible. Was it because I kept nagging you about it? That and Punch Out? Well, I guess I'll have to shut up now.

Unless, of course, you continue to neglect Rad Racer...

Great playthrough and congrats on beating Ninja Gaiden, great guest apperance by Kung Tai Ted too.

So, you planning to have a battle with the Nerd now?

'Dis guy, is un-fucking believable.

I see what you did there.
