The Ninja Gaiden's were the first to implement cinematic to games, and what an intro was this from the NES the best. It chills me to the bones, watch it every now and then...also the 4-2 song from Ninja Gaiden the first, awesome song.

[@Drkwlf92]

For an 8-bit game, this intro was beyond EPIC!!!!! There are games in this generation that don't have the intensity that this one does! I would LOVE to hear a really good remake of the song playing!

Have you heard Viking music? He does an awesome rendition of this song and it's amazing. I just discovered it

Those last two lightning flashes gave me goose bumps the first time I played this in my 1990. This was more intense than the first game.

Just a lesson to all the would-be villains out there: If someone asks what you are going to do about Ryu Hayabusa, the answer should never be nothing.

Even at 41, the music for this game is still good. Imagine what it would sound like with current generation standards. And to this day I wonder: Was Ashatar pulling the strings for Jaquio or the other way around 🤔

[@Hypno_BPM]

i personally think the 8 bit sound is what makes it great and unique sounding. i never liked most of the SNES remasters of NES games cause of how soft and less crunchy the sound chip for the SNES sounded.

First time i played this was in summer 1996, still i cant get why Ashtar thought it was a good idea that Jaquio was killed when he is the strongest of the villians as well very undeadly???

[@rigobertomendivil3993]

My teenage years

[@Black-Rat]

The sound effects for that series were better on the NES than the one from SNES, played both versions, but I liked the one with the NES better, the cinematics was the best part in all three games, right after a boss fight, there would soon be more all the way every times you killed a boss there was more to see all the way to the final boss... Loved that game series, but I kindda wonder, the main character is named Ryu, but right from the get go on the first game, Ryu's dad is named Ken, I'm just not sure if it's just a small coincidence...

Em dezembro de 1990 eu tinha apenas 13 anos, porém a febre dos videogames já tinha se instalado no Brasil.🇧🇷🇧🇷 Naquele mesmo mês, eu comprei a revista Videogame n° 01. Logo nas primeiras páginas, um dos jogos de maior destaque era justamente esse: Ninja Gaiden 2 - The Dark Sword of Chaos. Mesmo sendo apenas fotos dava pra perceber a qualidade gráfica e o requinte com os quais a Tecmo criou o jogo. Jogo pelo menos uma vez por ano. Mesmo que a Tecmo não tivesse feito mais NADA, só pela trilogia Ninja Gaiden ela já merece ficar entre as softhouses mais icônicas da história dos games.

​@@justinpearce3345 That might be the case. He probably went down swinging, and took as many demons as possible with him. If that happened, Robert might have gone down a hero, buying Ryu Hayabusa time.

@TwilightSea Yes, if Shredder wants to look like Ashtar, maybe he should act like Ashtar having his technodrome dark like Ashtar is kind of nicknamed as the king of darkness where Shredder is kind of nicknamed as the king of the foot clan or the foot soldier leader since he's kind of a foot soldier dressed differently and maybe Shredder should battle the Ninja Turtles in darkness so he can kill them easily.
