The Ninja Warriors Once Again - Ninja 1CC (Hard)

[@lordgargamel4124]

One of the greatest games ever made and hits all the check marks. This is what NW would have been if it kept up in the arcades. Pure retro arcade on 11. No BS gameplay. Im glad its home. As a kid in the arcade days i would have ached to have it. Miss being a kid man.

[@85futureshock]

Not only one of the finest beat em ups I have ever played but one of the finest video games I have ever played. You can see the developers put so much love into this game and the music is an all time great soundtrack. This game is proof you don’t need 300 million dollar budgets and a 500 person staff to make a great game. You just need passion and a commitment to excellence. The Ninja Warriors Once Again is a love letter to 90’s Japanese arcade style gaming briilance.

Absolutely. Tengo Project is one of the best developers around these days.

[@TuxedAaron]

Agreed. It's kind of a combination between 80s Sci-Fi and Mega Man. Which makes sense, when you think about it, because this is exactly the kind of schlocky Sci-Fi action movie/anime that would have been right at home in that era. Of course, that's Taito for you, whenever they made an action game like this or a rail shooter like Operation Wolf. It was never a complex story, there was no nuance or depth. In fact, on balance, these games never really grew much farther beyond their core concepts, which were always dirt simple.

[@sonic9723]

Ninja is very smooth to play with.He is an all around char you can display all his movelist on the enemies and if you get problem just spin and throw the problem at the problem you know.😂

[@Burn_Angel]

If, and only IF you know how to play as him. He's the tanky, slow powerhouse in the original, so he's not exactly versatile to a beginner.

[@picallo1]

@@Burn_Angel Not at all. His jetpack makes him the fastest and his combo hits all around him. He has no weaknesses at all. The speed in this game counts for nothing when you can literally stand and just swing your nunchucks and hit all around you. I can find problems with every character even Raiden. Ninja has none.

[@Burn_Angel]

@@picallo1 Try to dodge, then tell me. He's fast, but not agile.

[@picallo1]

@@Burn_Angel No need to dodge you can just block, then you big swing, or mega crush or stance+ chucks to counter. Ninja is ridiculous. The only time you may need dodge is on the stages with the tanks firing but just walking back and forth pretty much counters that or grabbing someone and doing a throw gives you I frames. Kunoichi and the new girl have AWFUL reach, and laughable damage. Kunoichi's scorpion sting is ok but her stance moves are weak AF even some of the combos you can pull of are all flash and no punch. ONE combo from Ninja = A combo with the gauge finisher and a follow up throw with Kunoichi. Thats just silly. The gap widens from there. Her sword finisher with the gauge used to crush and now its nerfed into the ground. Any part you struggle through with any character Ninja walks through like wet paper. The entire game is easy mode with Ninja. The only time he's really outshined is the final boss. The new girl character breezes that fight.

[@dmappzoom6778]

ninja was the character i used to beat the game and unlock the other two androids with.

[@theawesomechannel1631]

I love the way the attack with the fire propulsures look. Its pretty ninja and robotic at the same time. This game is a Masterpiece.

[@UToobUsername01]

This is a remake of the old Super Nintendo game that is why it feels so cool and 16-bit ish. It came out as a sequel on the super nintendo to the first game in the arcades which was called "Ninja Warriors". Order of release: 1. Ninja Warriors (arcade game with 3 screens) 2. Ninja Warriors Again (ninja warriors 2) click here to see it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJnEY3akgqufeKc 3. Ninja Saviors (this remake of the sequel. New characters added)

[@kordelas2514]

@@UToobUsername01 To be correct Ninja Warriors Again is a remake (not a sequel) of Ninja Warriors Arcade. Ninja Saviors is a remaster of Ninja Warriors Again.

[@Asterion608]

"History repeats itself" , Wow that's a Bitter ending if I ever saw one.

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

This kind of opens the game up to a sequel though. I think the world needs those specific androids to prevent it from repeating. I feel like that was the true intent on the reason why they was program to self destruct. But I hope they make a sequel, maybe they have a saved core or information bank and get new bodies.

[@UltimateCarl]

No joke, I managed to beat the original SNES game with my friends as a kid when I was like... Maybe 10 at most? It was one of the first times I'd encountered such a bittersweet ending in media and it really bothered me for a few days. I mean I was still a dumb kid, it's not like I fell into a depressive funk, but for the better part of a week I'd keep randomly thinking about it and feeling sad. Not bad for a beat-'em-up with a robot titty ninja.

I'm really impressed by how highly the soundtrack and graphics have been remastered. Loved the original as a kid.

[@grumblekin]

Ninja is the baddest MF in martial arts. It's clear that the rebels made him and Kunoichi first, then Kamitachi from leftover parts. Raiden was probably a stolen and repurposed mech while Yaksha is most likely a field test from a foreign company, smuggled in to gather combat data in hopes of scoring a contract with the new government once Banglar is gone. Banglar's army is a hybrid of human and machine, but you can see where the rank and file are just brainwashed/drugged, as the knife soldiers have white eyes and the holdovers from the previous military charge into battle fearlessly. This drops their combat performance, however. When Mulk takes over, having 100% androids means that the next set of rebels is going to have a rough time getting through to Mulk's HQ. This game would be an incredible anime...

I absolutely love the subtitle of this game. Once Again. Man it just makes me feel like I'm doing something awesome before I have even done said awesome thing.

[@Burn_Angel]

Ah, that's a wordplay. Originally, this game was on arcades, Japan only. It was just 'The Ninja Warriors'. When it got ported to the Super Famicom, it got called 'The Ninja Warriors Again'. Outside of Japan, they never got the Arcade version, so the Snes port was just called 'The Ninja Warriors', maybe because Again sounds like a sequel. 'A sequel to what?' some may ask, and they'd be right, because even if you knew about it in Japan, you'd still find no prequel, so they left it out. Now, knowing that, seeing how this remaster is called Once Again feels even more epic in my opinion.

[@rogerleung160]

The first boss, Gigant, looked like a large, lumbering human in the SNES game. Here, he's obviously not human because his proportions are much larger than before, being twice as tall as most male adults and having limbs with the thickness of tree trunks!

[@rigelothello709]

Anyway, how can you know the name of the enemies... I really want to know their names too... Thanks to this comment, I just know that the 1st Boss name is Gigant... If you have a link that can help me know their name, I really appreciate it...

While I did like this game back on the SNES, I felt with it's graphics and music, it could have been up there with Turtles in Time, Streets of Rage 2 & Aliens vs Predator as an all time beat 'em up if they made it a more traditional belt scroller. Imagine playing that with a friend.

[@Hanagigi]

Awesome video! Got this game some days ago, it's awesome. I managed to beat it only with ninja, while with the other characters (did not unlock raiden yet) I have difficulty beating even the first boss... I must be misunderstanding something on how to play this!

[@Wolfdragon92584]

Ninja was my go-to character for the game, but he makes for a large target in crowds. Kunoichi has the best control and is the best character choice against the final boss due to her upwards throw. Kamaitachi is tons fun to experiment with, and he can escape many hairy situations. Can't wait to try those new characters in the remake!!!!!

[@ayar2]

Ninja's throws are made exactly to deal with crowds, it even beats the golem robots front armor, but is risky for him to try and grab the more advanced enemies, and he doesnt have a way to attack them from behind, like kuno, kama and yaksha can. He's my fav of the 5, but all of them are fun to play in their own way. Raiden's also a lot of fun once you master him, but if you let enemies slip into his blind spots, you gonna have a bad day.

[@blackjaguar324]

So the big robots cannot be grabbed and thrown in this version. Damn.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

I think that's an improvement on the original. They can no longer be treated as just a normal enemy, and require more strategy. I like that!!

[@TuxedAaron]

Yeah, this is more or less how I play Ninja. In fact, on balance, I've found Ninja to be, by far, the most versatile of all the Warriors. Side-scrolling players who are used to delivering aerial attacks might be put off at first by his lack of a standard jump, but it's only a minor inconvenience when weighed against all the trade-offs he gets in return. Ninja's dash attack more than makes up for any speed deficiencies he might possess. As one of only two Warriors who can walk while carrying enemies and objects, he can make the best use of his throws and environmental weapons. And it has GOT to be said, his Up Throw's ability to just sweep away entire rows of enemies absolutely CANNOT be undervalued. Ninja may LOOK like just your standard "big, dumb bruiser" archetype at first glance. But get used to his play style and you'll quickly find that he's ANYTHING but but a cookie-cutter model. In fact, I would daresay that any two-player team would be foolish not to have a standing slot open for Ninja on every playthrough. He's practically a recipe for success. At least, that's just MY thinking on it.

[@picallo1]

There really isnt a reason to play another character unless you just like them more. Ninja is the full package. His jetpack makes him the fastest when he's supposed to be the slow tank. His combo hits HARD and it hits 360 that only one other character has. His giant swing can easily free you from crowds. His down throw deletes enemy health. The new stances now give you 'swing nunchucks' which just destroys. Best character by FAR.

[@DamonCaskey]

@iconoclast575 Pretty sweet to see, and I'm eager to play - but it also looks like they took out your ability to grapple large sized bosses unless playing the Raiden. The SNES version not only let you grab anyone, but added little details like Kunoichi using extra hair to throw big enemies. Removing that is a massive cop out and also really sucks for Ninja since it was kind of his schtick. Everything else looks nice though.
