"Ninja Gaiden" (Sega Master System) - Retro Review

[@greensun1334]

This is a great looking classic, it looks almost like an PC Engine game or even an early Genesis title. I like the cutscenes as well.

[@TheAgingGamer]

Absolutely. This game just looks so good all around. 🤘🏼

[@Xhalonick]

The visual style and smoothness of the gameplay on this one is top notch. Def coulda been a genesis game as you said.

Oh man! Ninja Gaiden was the first game that young me ever got legitimately angry at ...but I kept coming back for MOAR! keep it up the amazing work bro! :)

[@dukey03]

Glad you played this game! It’s my 2nd favorite Master System game and favorite Ninja Gaiden game!

[@TheAgingGamer]

Its really fantastic. For it not being made by Tecmo, Sega did a great job of making it feel like its on par with the NES games. Its badass!

[@backinthedaygamer]

Man do I wish I would've bought this game years ago for like $40 lol

[@mariowario5945]

This game is meant to be played at 50hz, which is why its so fast

[@joeyfarris2543]

Yes awesome cutscenes especially after the boss fights and great video Josh, it's good to learn about this game 👍😎

[@TheAgingGamer]

Thanks bro 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

The Master System in general had better colors and sound than the NES in my opinion. But I'm more fond of the Master System than the NES because the Master System was my first video game console.

LUCKY! I agree, the SMS looked a lot better. Unfortunately for me, I never knew that the SMS was even a thing for the looooongest time. When I was a kid I always thought the Genesis was Sega’s first console. 😂

This looks harder than the NES version.

[@TheAgingGamer]

If you don’t do the weapon powerup cheat, I’d put it at roughly the same level as the NES. It seems like no matter who was developing the game, they were made to be brutal 😂

[@dreamlandnightmare]

@@TheAgingGamer I never had much problem with the NES version until the final level and boss rush.

[@switchstancegames]

This looks amazing Too bad it’s only pal!

[@joeyfarris2543]

In general I have to say that I really like the Ninja Gaiden series from the Beginning to the end and it's one of my favorite series ever

[@TheAgingGamer]

Mine too. Such good stuff 🤘🏼🤘🏼

I thought this one was better than the GameGear version, and I liked that it had the jumping off walls, similar to "Batman: The Video Game"" for NES. The sliding endlessly on ice just seemed like lazy programing, and the bosses, seemed like lazy design. I was expecting better from the Sega 'Ninja Gaiden' games, after all they did create the great arcade game "Shinobi", but even that seemed more like a port of Rolling Thunder with ninja star tossing bonus stages.

I never had a Sega Master System when it was the current console. I got one years later and only got it to work a few times. I have never played this game.
