My all time favorite Ninja Gaiden for the NES trilogy.

[@Blackholelord]

Corrderio Great soundtrack, better then the first Ninja Gaiden for NES, listen for the third game. And I will say it sucks. The first they did good, the second great, but the third they dropped the ball.

[@Corrderio]

Blackholelord Blackholelord Yeah I played through all the NES ones. The 3rd wasn't too bad, but the whole continues thing was pretty stupid. I also heard the translation was pretty botched.

[@Bigboss192x]

I cried .. cried .. and I will keep crying for lovely memories. 10:17 and 16:59 . But now I am happy that I am an artist who will be able to create amazing works and for the better future. And I am sure I will create something inspired by this!

[@Peter_1986]

I always find myself headbanging to the track "Rushing Forward" at 5:01. Awesome track.

[@РомаПодсадников]

I'm listening to the soundtrack in "PAL mode" (speed 0.9 and tone 94%) and noticed that this is how some kind of tragedy appears in the music. And in any case. Not only here.

[@oprpaul7753]

23:06 I remember the first time I beat game. Ryu with Irene watching the sun go down, and then a shooting star passing by, OH MY GOD!! Tears came rolling down! I was so moved, thrilled and happy at the same time. I remember going outside to buy something for my mom at the store. As I was walking everything was like in a different color tone. Remember Neo from The Matrix when he was able to finally see the lines of codes? I felt just like that.

[@AngelRiveroMusic]

You beat the game the legit way? I could never do it, I had to use emulators and save states 20+ years later...

[@runfanlian8720]

Opr Paul 我听不懂你在说什么

[@formerlythetim]

Yea...If you beat NG2 back then no cheats, you practically ARE Neo!

[@khyronbradford]

I can really relate to that bro. 1993, I still had my nes and a copy of NG2. It was the end of school semester. Friday. I arrived from school, started the game and it when on, and on, and on. Until finally Jaquio was cut down in his final form. I couldn’t believe it. It was a very good semester in school, with very good grades. However, that was nothing compared to the feeling of watching the Dark Blade of Chaos being shattered, the demonic castle crumbling and Ryu resurecting Irene with the power of the Dragon Sword. Also, shouts to the final sunset and that shooting star.!

[@SuperSaiyanGuyver]

I beat it legit. Three days of the NES on while I was at school or asleep, paused on that final level. Was so excited I had my mom come downstairs to watch the ending (I did this with games, sometimes we took a photo to send to Nintendo Power which we never did). This one wasn't like Megaman or Castlevania. This was different, the ending to a STORY and not just a staff roll. I was too young to realize it, but Ryu and Irene's story is actually really good. They earned their happy ending. Years later, my friend moved away and I watched a sunset from my brother's room playing this song on my NES (didn't have to beat the game again, I had the code for the music player). Video games CAN be art. Thanks Tecmo.

[@theonetrueKM]

21:16 I remember this short tune being before fighting Jaquio,but still no less pleasant to hear.

I remember picking this game out at ToysRUs back in the early 90's when you would take the piece of paper to the cash register and they would go to a room you could see inside and them giving me the game, putting that sucker on when I got up and was blown away buy how badass the music was.
