Shadow Warriors Longplay (Arcade) [60 FPS]

[@raykerlee5406]

30 years after! Childhood memories.

I was 8 🤓🤓

[@jeremyreed2790]

I was 11

[@pyrolight7568]

The intro still is one of the most hilarious of all time.

[@TheDeep473]

Loved this game in the arcade.

[@Bobaklives]

6:39 clearly meant to be Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” but changed just enough to avoid a copyright battle. 😂

[@timothygraham4304]

My C64 came bundled with this game. I loved it!

[@BronyNumber4096]

3:20 Fatso Fatty McFatfat 6:50 The Road Warrior Knockoff Twins 10:35 Freddy Krueger Wannabe Triplets 15:28 Twin Sumos 20:01 The Road Warriors, again! 24:03 The claw guys again. 25:22 Viking hat Lord Humongous

[@BILFAB74]

A lot of memories.... 1992 !

[@dabnbong]

Use to play this all the time!

[@christopherlock4703]

played this down in tenby arcade back in 1988, MEMORIES.

[@golden_eldorado]

I loved this game as a kid but I never got far enough to listen to that Sabbath's Iron Man cover around minute seven :-D

[@dolst]

Nobody's driving those cars. THEY'RE EMPTY! NOBODY'S DRIVING THEM!

[@Syklonus]

@@bo7ka *steal

[@coolnut99]

And they're driving on the LEFT side!

[@nowonmetube]

0:35 that butt crack though

[@rubenel7993]

Thats the coolest rain effect Ive ever seen in a 16-bit game

[@az_esteemed]

This game is now downloadable on the Nintendo Switch eShop. I remember seeing it at an old arcade place years ago. Can’t wait to play it again!

[@ShinobiEngineer]

Thanks for posting this... I could never finish it back then!

[@machiavelli6996]

I use to play this in my local swimming bars about 32 yrs ago.. wow!

[@manu.q9630]

Recuerdos y nostalgias de la infancia arcade .. de los mejores de aquel maravilloso tiempo ..

[@mon.mayt.pez.4632]

Intro: Rest in peace Jason 😶

[@RobertKangchristianunix]

The main character has two swords and the enemy ( Jason ) has none

[@derekabdullah5912]

Ryu hayabusa is the greatest ninja of all time

[@AshBloodfire]

That moment when you realize...this was essentially the ninja's vacation.

[@theodorehsu5023]

11:43 Ryu must have hocked all the point items he found for the cash to play, then rolled that stack of chips into many stacks of chips thanks to a silver ball and a wheel :)

[@Wardner213]

Shadow Warriors? I always knew this game as Ninja Gaiden...

[@chrisnightingale5529]

Yeah I think one of the reasons certainly in the UK was the use of the word "Ninja". Same reason that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was called "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" in the UK!! The BBFC were pretty strict back then. Even heard that they cut a scene from a film of two people just walking along just because there was a poster of Bruce Lee holding chain sticks in the background!!!

[@LordBrimstone1]

If that is the case, then I wonder how the big "NINJA in USA" text at the 0:48 mark got past the censors? Edit: Also Ninja at the 28:04 mark

[@brainimp]

@@LordBrimstone1 Ninja was never banned, it was just its use in marketing material to children, there was many games with Ninja in the title like Dragon Ninja and The Ninja on MS to name a couple, people over play the whole ban thing, but the only objection was using it in Kids TV/Movies and it didn't last long and was very inconsistently enforced any way because there was Movies like 3 Ninja Kids certified a PG then U around the same time. I dont even think the name of this game was changed because Ninja as it had a different Name in each region, just like many other games from Japan at the time that had nothing to do with Ninjas and this was released a few years before the TNMT scandal so im guessing Ninja had zero to do with the name change just people like to think it did

[@SergipeCycling]

This game had the title "Master Ninja" here, wonder which region used this name.

[@mr.selfdestruct]

in the arcade I think it was called Shadow Warriors and on home consoles it was Ninja Gaiden

[@boostmeup]

lol even had the road warriors theme with the road warrior copies

[@dolst]

Level 2 boss music is definitely... inspired by... "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. 😂

[@nowonmetube]

10:31 now I know where the original F-Zero theme comes from 😂

[@FlydingVent9296]

What a bizarre adventure at the end, this game clearly has some battle tendency

[@Syklonus]

Why does it feel like Round 4 and Round 5 should be the other way around? The big cave entrance at the end of round 4 suggests that the start of the final level, but you just end up on a railway track? Doesn't make sense.

[@nebularain3338]

I noticed that too. Would have made much more sense to go from the Casino (which is presumably in the middle of the desert) to the train tracks, and from there head to the Grand Canyon.

[@literallypuni4091]

15:35 What 80's movie music track does this remind me of?! EDIT: It's the *Unicron Medley* from Transformers: The Movie (1986)!

[@Ready_Fire_Aim]

I loved this game. no one remembers it

[@Syklonus]

I do. Played it in the arcade and on my Commodore Amiga. It does get overlooked mind you, even though it was the first beat 'em up to have breakable objects.

[@aaryaputra108]

I do, I loved playing it after primary school almost every day. Great game that I still can't find on any system to purchase and own.

[@Ready_Fire_Aim]

@@aaryaputra108 its arcade only. the amiga version isnt the same. get mame and the rom and your away =)

[@judgedreader4011]

@7:44 best to just avoid the smoke with them thugs and get to higher grounds 😅

[@shinzo88]

:'( chapter 6 soundtrack, goosebumps !!!!! memoriesssssssssss

[@dedge8060]

Great game. The spectrum had a good version of it.

[@chrisrichards6139]

You make it look easy. Well played

[@capcomcomp4791]

1988

[@WinLoveCry]

Out in 1988 didn't know that...

[@patriciotroncoso4764]

This is my favorite in time of the...colege...even is my loveit game.

[@TheSecondcitysaint]

hawk and animal the road warriors

[@dinocap72]

Great game

[@yeahtbh.161]

00:38 dat ass.

[@drumatic]

Ninja Gaiden - First run and gun beatemup

[@JC_wonderland]

This was the best arcade ever I spent a lot of quarters on this and I believe it was on sega genesis at the time

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

A Sega Genesis version was in development, but it was never finished. A version of the ROM exists online though.

[@arubinojr5670]

The beatemup-standard storefronts and signs nonsense is extra nonsensical here. 8/10.

[@steven-vn9ui]

Anyone else hear Black Sabbath in the boss music?

[@nowonmetube]

You mean Iron Man

[@yasser3268]

Yeah and it’s the iron man

[@EightOne01]

It was removed from the Arcade Archives versions.

[@ozwizardof5235]

How do you use your sword?

[@SluffAdlin]

Had a sword 🗡️… never used it 😢

[@edparadis6685]

ahhh the preguil to Ninja Gaiden. Ryu was 15 to 16 years old appently and kicking a lot of ass. Not very ninja like but still very effective none the klest

[@mikaeleiese5165]

clocked this game... 72 times.

[@carloszuniga1911]

I always knew this game like Master Ninja

[@danielpetrusevski2572]

Ya got Blood Jasons. Then Crip Jasons. Juventud Guerreras. Mongolian big guys.

[@robertennew]

I used to waste a pocketful of 20ç pieces at the arcades playing this 😂

[@allenscott68]

Zulu swashbuckler. Wow I had ninja Gaiden on Nintendo didn't know that it was a side scrolling beat em up i I mean damn look at Ryu he gangsta on here straight up on gymkata stuff man I would have loved to come across this game in the arcades🗣‼️

[@sneekyweezel]

That was awesome- you no death ran it!

[@chriswaudby5580]

Proper class act

[@gesheed]

Great upload!

[@seyyedhosseinahmadi]

Yes

[@SteveFusionX]

nice upload! well played too. I never noticed before but theres a lot of overlapping/ordering issues in this game! especially on stage 2 with the cars. Great game though.

[@castieldiallo2945]

+SteveFusionX true, but this was 1988 and the concept was a little new back then of diagonal stages. A lot of people stated that this game was too difficult to complete with one credit. this fella proved, along with myself that it can be done without cheats.

[@notsuoh16Bit]

Called Ninja Gaiden here in Australia.

[@gilbertmadril2425]

I have access to this game on mame but I can't figure out how to swing from the bars to get over the water...any help???

[@nowonmetube]

Maybe the same as you do swing from pole to pole in stage 2?

[@coolnut99]

There's a third button you can hold or press to hang on the bars.

[@franklinfajardo9075]

recordar mi infancia cuando con una moneda me pasaba todo el juego jajajaj

[@djflashmusic]

Bravo!!!

[@glecyoaraujo6335]

como é que faz pra se em pendurá nas coisa neste jogo

[@briancho8656]

I had to insert about 5 dollars worth of quarters to beat this game.

[@nowonmetube]

Still cheap, when you think about it

[@hate3333]

used just one coin to beat it up) but had a lot of time to watch how another guys finished this game

[@reynaldolopez8902]

Como comentan aquí, hace 30 años lo jugaba en las máquinas de fichas.

[@rojasperez8215]

Ame este juego solo llegue al nivel 4

[@marcolamanna3955]

Super game

[@angeldeb82]

This feels like the European version of Ninja Gaiden. And that bland name product of HalrBord [Marlboro] cigarettes and the suspiciously similar song version of Black Sabbath's Iron Man. And that continue screen that would have sawblades coming down on the hero to kill him... yikes!

[@malikholmes5045]

My nigga brought a fist to a sword fight😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😭😭Rip

[@dranzer26]

I thought this was Ninja Gaiden.

[@suchiuomizu]

Why are so many people too stupid to realize some games had different names in different places?

[@БаракОбамов-ь2ц]

Alguien sabe como descargarlo para celular?

[@AllanjoseMullerGatto-mj2cw]

Jogo e show de bola

[@Religious_man]

The gameplay is better than the _Ninja Gaiden_ NES version. There is no rush at all and the music is fine. The ninja moves are better though.

[@persona83]

Debatable, to say the least. I'm NES version all the way.

[@JohnnyCasey]

How do you compare a side-scroll platformer to a belt-scroll beat'em up? That's like comparing Final Fight with Castlevania.

[@ShinobiShowdown]

WTH are those things coming out of the water on that one level? It looks like mutated members of Van Halen. LOL!

[@nowonmetube]

Merman?

[@cmatin01]

Another hacked play through. Chester!

[@nebularain3338]

Chester? I assume you mean "cheater". However, to cheat one must have rules, and there are no rules or game police. Also, he never claimed to be doing a standard run, so I don't know where you are getting your conclusions from.

[@MaDrugaDaoGamers2015]

eu vim aqui pelo comentário no video do celso ! :)

[@nowonmetube]

I'm ready boss

[@fredytomasgutierrezherrera328]

Ninja full😀

[@dereklarner6298]

I thought this was called Ninja Gaiden.

[@JerBuster77]

It was for the U.S. version. Shadow Warriors is the European name.

[@o0oanaboliccamelo0o86]

Bro yer Invincible are you cheating 🤔🙄🤨 how could they hitting you don’t get hit

[@nowonmetube]

Top Gun, PLDT, what about all this surreptitious advertising? 😂

[@coolnut99]

You watch them, then have some IceCeCrem after you fill your car with Esso Gus.

[@nowonmetube]
