The first minute intro is like a lone gunslinger/samurai valiantly walking out to face an entire gang that's been terrorizing the town. It's very Kill Bill. Very creative intro.

[@KTGromwell]

This will play when Ryu Hayabusa joins Smash Bros.

[@OTGamer95]

It better. If it doesn’t, I’m gonna be disappointed, and if it’s not even included as one of his songs... let’s not go there...

[@Christin-Eleven]

Ryu Hayabusa NEEDS to be in Smash!!! He's literally the first Ninja in Video Game history for crying out loud! And he debuted on a Nintendo Gaming console no less! I would cry so hard if he truly joins Smash!!!

Can you contact Nintendo to put this into smash k thx

[@doclouis4236]

Good Lord... The fact that this doesn't have over a hundred thousand views or thousands of likes is unacceptable.

And bought. I think at this point I own almost 75% of your stuff. Will you do the end theme of Ninja Gaiden 2 and Ryu and Irene after that song. Please!! I’ll buy it. I’ll go to iTunes and 5 star your songs I bought also.

[@PontusHultgren]

Thank you for the support man! This was likely a one-off for Ninja Gaiden for now, but I'll be working with Matheus on similar projects

[@ixanongamer9508]

Pontus Hultgren Music man I hope it isn’t, the ending theme for Ninja Gaiden 2 is why I beat the game over and over back when I was a child. Hell I still listen to it thank god for KZbin cause now 30 or so years later I can’t get past level 3... well if you do the ending theme and Ryu and Irene (I think that’s what it’s called. Know I will buy those also. Oh I only 5 stared two of your albums thus far. I kinda forgot the rest.

[@boxtank5288]

If the original trilogy were to be remade to be like the XBOX reboots, this should be used for the announcement track...I can see how it would go! First, we hear NOT this track, but silence at first as two Ninjas, highlighted by silhouette circle one another, the field becoming painfully familiar as the background becomes clearer and clearer...the intro we know but redone, (updated music?), Then as the slash goes through, we hear this track fade in and we hear Ken Hayabusa's voice at first as we see Ken fall before it fades to Ryu's voice, cutting to him reading his father's last letter...Then we zoom in on Ryu (showing a measured fury on his face) as he resolves not just to avenge his father but also figure out WHY he would get into such a fatal duel... Then Unbreakable Determination gets going, we see Ryu fighting through the city and cutting down thugs, commandos and ninja, with enough blood to tell that it'll get messy (like in Ninja Gaiden 2 (XBOX) as we will soon see), with Irene coming in (looking like a healthy mix of her DoA appearance and her NES appearance) pointing a gun at Ryu, then we see the word 'Ninja' Next we get Ashtar's little evil rant followed by Ryu being seen again, this time cutting his way through the Tower of Chaos, a demon gets cut to sashimi along with several others in one glorious Ultimate Attack, seeing Essence Orbs fly into him before hand. Then the words 'Gaiden'. Then, we get Ryu working his way through the city with the news report that condemns him for being Irene Lew's 'murderer', doding Police Helicopters and the like as he is working to prove his innocence, then cut to him ascending the Ghost Ship of Doom, finally, the word 'Saga' comes in...Then we get the three words together and a release date...then a cut to Ryu facing off against The Jaquio, his blade glimmering before we see Ashtar standing against Ryu who has Irene behind him, wounded, before the blade glimmers again and we see, from Ryu's eyes, Evil Ryu from Ghost Ship of Doom, then the trailer fades out...

[@asterisk904]

I Want Ryu hayabusa For smash He is another guy with a sword i know. but, i think he will be the best swordfighter if he joins

He's not just a sword fighter he has tons of weapons 😎

@@ChrizzyGotAFatGlizzy if he joined smash i feel hed be similar to bylth in the sense of weapon variations but will mostly be a short ranged sword fighter

[@turkustreetview1445]

This sounds awesome... aint going to lie tho... it's still nowhere near how awesome the original 8-bit sound is.

[@ProWrestlingGamer]

agree! I keep trying to find a remix worthy of the OG and there are none.

[@tenderpawsm473]

@@ProWrestlingGamer what's OG?

[@patrickm103]

This is a very competent remix technically speaking, but thematically it's wrong. I agree with another person who posted that the track is now missing its required element of revenge. It sounds too heroic and processional-- yes Hayabusa is in fact a hero, but this song is now missing a feeling of vengeance no matter what the cost to ryu himself.

What the...?

[@John-Alighieri]

Ninja gaiden remake when ? 😢

[@hippophlebotamus]

This is how the opening to the Ninja Gaiden Movie should go. This is such a brilliant ode to the cartridge that stole so many hours of my childhood. Not just a like, but LOVE this!

[@JachAnen]

Nah, it should be at the end of such a movie. Just standing there in the beginning and then the final dash through minions to the big bad.

[@Scorthon]

I mean the there is a Vow of Revenge motif in the beginning which does play in the prelogue cutscene.

[@robinmangalindan3051]

Final boss fight..much better

[@ihysc4370]

I agree to you. This MUST be remembered in MILLIONS of people, and become popular. I really want a Ninja Gaiden movie.

[@abhisekraj2765]

There's nothing less than perfection in this musical masterpiece. I didn't feel any jarring aspect, I didn't feel any deviation from the original soundtrack, and ultimately to go above and beyond whatever emotion I had for this song was elevated and given a new meaning. Well done 20/10, 10/10 isn't enough to rate this song.

[@RichardMiller-dq8hu]

Finally, my exact thoughts

[@nightranger869]

I don't understand how you're not more popular. Literally some of my favorite versions of songs have come from your channel.

[@sandakureva]

Pontus actually does pretty well for himself. He does work for more than just KZbin. Seems like this stuff is mostly just his hobby.

[@gokturk15]

I see that you based the intro on "Deep Purple - Apri" like Ninja Gaiden did, but took more elements from it. Good Work.

[@Vestner262]

Pontus! You and Matheus have outdone yourselves with this one. One of my all time favorite tracks from Ninja Gaiden. Amazing, simply amazing. You are a godlike composer!

[@keesvanhameren9025]

i like the unbreakable determination part a lot, really fresh approach instead of all the questionable rock-remixes.. but still it's such a shame somehow no one seems to "catch" the vow of revenge theme just right, its a dramatic theme, with resolve building from grief, trying to make it sound epic and heroic just makes it lose its power, and unbreakable determination is already the "revenge" answer towards "vows" plead, the contrast of both parts shapes the story, making them sound the same, rips the passion out of both.

[@3dGMX]

I can walk through a brick wall after hearing this. It's epic.

[@ChrisHopkins73rd]

how does a masterpiece like this have less than 100k views????

[@Kenshiro3rd]

Dude... THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! This gave me goosebumps! I'm literally in tears from this. It's BEAUTIFUL!

[@cyrussoxlegion]

I bought this track on iTunes about a month and a half ago and I absolutely love the hell out of it! Taking those classic eight bit tracks, and turning them into classical masterpieces is nothing short of incredible.❤

[@Duhemsounds]

Awesome work as always, I love that combination of epic orchestral elements and the guitar both very well done :)

[@Gsolaris]

Brilliant. Loved the intro, too. My two favorite pieces of music in the game, and you linked them nicely.

[@sakuyaizayoi2441]

Man... I would have liked to see Ryu hayabusa as the final character of Smash Bros Ultimate... well it will be for the other smash.

[@VOAN]

The issue is that there will be two Ryu. Nintendo tries not to include too many characters with similar name unless they are clones or an alternative character ala Dr. Mario or Toon Link.

[@Love-Sensibility]

​@@VOANJust call him Hayabusa then. That's literally what they call him in the DOA games

[@xyzYAZEEDxyz]

Coming back to listen to this again after a good bit. I knew what I was in for. STILL pulled tears. Holy SHIT, that's good music!!!!

[@kevinnazario1015]

Hard to believe this tracks comes from an 1989 Nes game. The entire soundtrack is a gem. It should be recorded with an entire orchestra.

[@shathinchittum137]
