Arcade Longplay [343] Shadow Warriors

[@Lauren_Tyler]

This game had one of the most memorable continue screens.

[@TschimmiCash]

22:21 Song: Iron Man by Black Sabbath

[@VirusX999]

The cut scenes are hilarious. End of act 1: Ninja goes to the sushi parlor. End of act 2: Ninja reads the newspaper on a train, while it's under siege by tribal natives. End of act 3: Ninja puts on a tux, and gambles with bunny girls. End of act 4: Ninja goes kyaking. End of act 5: Ninja rappels down a skyscraper, and gives a thumbs up to the window washers. End of act 6: Ninja goes back to Tokyo, and sits on a throne. This has to be the most laid back ninja I've ever seen.

[@anthonygerardotorresgonzal6269]

That Ninja Can't be Ryu Hayabusa, maybe is his laidback cousin from America

[@aodhablackheart]

It's not up to you how he soends his downtime :)

[@Religious_man]

You forgot the part where the traffic is going in opposite directions.

[@AutoNomadic]

Nothing made me happier or more fearful in 1988 than ninjas and Jason Vorhees.

[@rsuriyop]

Ninja Gaiden meets Double Dragon? Interesting mash-up

[@Krendall2]

I always thought it was dumb that Ryu's sword is always there but he needs a power-up in order to use it.

[@HKDon]

20:45 wait is that just a pillar man from Jojo in the back? man anything goes

[@DavidBarze]

Always loved the theme music to stage 5!

[@bubbleguminserts_surprizeguma]

I remember playing this game, back in the old days, at an arcade. The controls were so messed up.

23:33 Kars from jojo??

[@smoothALOE]

I never really thought about it before, but this one would’ve made for a really good port to the Genesis. Even that music sounds like something Sega would do.

[@rucu8311]

theyd def censor it

[@smoothALOE]

@@rucu8311 boo!!!

[@HunkWhite]

They kinda did, look for Ninja Gaiden on the genesis, it's a prototype so it's unfinished

[@Renasense]

My first arcade board I purchased; December 1993. Fond memories...

[@Sansanmar]

Stage 4 music is awesome! Ahh... It takes me back 😅

[@gimtek]

Used to have this game in my dad's arcade he managed. Fun times growing up

[@EvilRyuGuy]

You were expecting a Ninja Gaiden final stage background, but it was I, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

[@JeshuaMorbus]

20:55 Yep...

[@billybobs1705]

i used to like ninja garden

[@vidlover69]

oh great, let's associate Ninja Gaiden with a basic Anime

[@darrenclements6028]

Shadow Warriors is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME arcade game This is 2Fast 2Furious and breathless gameplay 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@gustavoaffonso6397]

I remember this game. Good times.

[@chadevans4922]

The game has music? wow. The arcade I used to play this was too noisy to allow the music to be heard. I would love to see some of these older games updated with modern technology. I'll bet they would rock.

[@Religious_man]

4:40 I love how the Japanese screwed up our directional traffic custom. We're right-sided drivers. I probably would have sued them for that "mistake."

[@theseus27]

Looked as though one of the vehicles went right through him in the 2nd level....hmm Anyway, me and a school friend of mine used to play this game a lot some time ago, and it didn't take long to complete it. Happy memories! :) Great game by Tecmo!

[@moviemetalhead]

Didn't take you long, but I know it ate a shit ton of quarters. :)

[@theseus27]

Yeah, same thing happened to me too. I don't know how much money I spent playing this game. I enjoyed it though :)

[@moviemetalhead]

+theseus27 yeah I enjoyed it too. ☺

[@Conan_the_Based]

I love how goofy the Round Clear pictures are.

[@guidofaoroconti2928]

22:28 Paranoid - Iron Man

[@kerbal666]

Black Sabbath. Paranoid was another song by them though :)

[@liquid49286]

I remember putting in another quarter to keep him from getting sawed

[@sergiofernandes2138]

4:44 driving left in USA???

[@Religious_man]

The game was released in 1988???? 27:56

[@tcmjr8red]

My God! so many quarters went to this game!

[@Vrangsynn]

Wow I had no idea the original Ninja Gaiden arcade was a beat em up

[@JoLiKMC]

Does anyone remember anything about this game other than the pretty decent soundtrack? Maybe that's just me. Also, what the heck happened to the sound when the motorcycle gang drove in around 6:27?

[@only1jamesp]

At about 8:00 the 2 big bosses are copied from the road warriors.

[@MichelChirac]

my god what a memories..

[@epcotman32]

Stage 2 bosses, the road warriors.

[@cmatin01]

Was was so unforgiving . For the longest time I could never even get past lvl 2. Sunk many quarter into it until I was able to finally beat it on one quarter

[@DemeseJuega]

Wow... Very well played! Skipping all 1up items but one. Like a boss hehe... Congrats!

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

Always preferred this over the NES game, the cool acrobatic moves were essential to playing this game right, something that many of it's derides don't understand and therefore ridicule it. Awesome game! Now if only someone would make some cool custom action figures with awesome cardback art...

[@akaTheWilyFox]

Me and a friend I made on holiday finished this game on a single credit each on co-op. We both hated those three wolverine rip offs at the end of stage 3.

[@cbozo8980]

Shinobi version of Double Dragon

[@CyberLionGT]

Oh shit he was moonwalking through traffic!!!!!!!!!

[@Deathkicker666]

Well done!Schlauchi :)

[@Xeriphas1994]

Wow. This game is demanding enough even spamming grab-kicks for crowd control -- I don't think the grab button is used once!

[@EightOne01]

Anyone else catch the Predator nod at 2:46?

[@MrAsaqe]

Or known as "Ryu Hayabusa's adventure in USA"

[@retrogameslover2023]

Can somebody please explain to me, what's with the Jewish theme at the end of Stages 4 & 6? i.e pictures of the Rabbi and the Star of David?

[@pumpkinpie78]

That 8 bit music is the bomb!

[@RaceWithDevil1]

Favoloso !

[@shaolinlueb]

best reply yet so far.

[@The_PolterGhost]

Shadow Warriors: The Battle of Ninjitsu versus Jewjitsu

[@LORDKALIBURTHE7TH]

Is it just me? or is that macho man with slim jims as weapons at 1:08 :)

[@ANoDYNUSjosh]

The music when he fights the wrestlers sounds suspiciously like Iron Man by Black Sabbath.

[@stonetic2515]

It was. The bosses of Stage 2 were based on The Road Warriors pro wrestlers, who used that song as their entrance theme before they got to WWE.

[@Desonic310]

SCHLAUCHI that you use for arcade emulator?

[@kerbal666]

I love how the first two massive guys music was a slight rip off of Black Sabbaths Iron Man

[@suchiuomizu]

There's a reason for that. Their design is also based on a wrestling tag team (Road Warriors), one that used that as their entrance theme at times.

[@kerbal666]

@@suchiuomizu Ah cool bit of trivia there

[@nobodycares9579]

Ryu has cake.

[@BETMARKonTube]

20:43 Round 6 JoJo 2nd Season all over the walls!!!

[@Pai3000]

Indeed!

[@ahmanburrs1459]

Sunday afternoons at the bowling alley...good times....a lot of quarters...Mom didn't like it...lol

[@jasonlee7816]

did she ban you from the bowling alley?

[@The_PolterGhost]

Oh hey, Ninja Gaiden.

[@mikedski9698]

SHADOW WARRIORS A.K.A NINJA GAIDEN!

[@daamii25]

how i download torrent this game??? i cant find

[@aelfredhauscarl]

Google emu pardaise. You will find emulators and whole host of games there.

[@Tue_]

At the intro*/titlescreen "Butt shot".

[@Shmey]

Waaaaaaiit... This looks an awful lot like Ninja Gaiden... It could be my memory playing me for a fool, but I always thought this WAS the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden...

[@mikedski9698]

💯

[@LeoVaderBR]

I remember playing this game

[@servecomp]

ninja never uses his sword yeah that seems legit

[@DragonHeart613]

Shadow Warriors??????? This is the original arcade game version of Ninja Gaiden!!!

[@RodrigoOrlov-om2ql]

Wonderfull game !

[@MADxDOG1999]

lol have this game#thanks mame

[@TheBlackStar999]

Maybe Tecmo had to put Jewish symbolism in the game in place of Christian crosses, because the censors complained. It's been done in other games.

[@Proxybuster]

Ninja gaiden = Shadow warriors in EU yes, but i have seen some Ninja Gaiden thats EU games aswell :)

[@Workingplayer53]

I was hoping for the PC game by 3D Realms. Oh well, can't have everything ...

[@sketchturner73]

Ninja gaiden vs the jason voorhees gang lol

[@martinnel2385]

amazing how this entertained back then ... looking at it now its so repetitive.. same enemies, same moves same enemies same moves, same enemies same moves .....

[@huaxiong90]

Same game. Just, this is the EU name for the game.

[@CassioFranco0211]

Brasil

[@ONIKdeftones]

the graphichs nd gameplay hurst my eyes LOL

[@babybuntin1]

People constantly refer to this game as "Ninja Gaiden."

[@suchiuomizu]

***** Ninja Gaiden was the American version name. The Japanese name was Ninja Ryukenden.

[@babybuntin1]

Thanks guys!

[@austinreed7343]

babybuntin1 I’ll just call this Shadow Warriors to differentiate it from the better-known platformer franchise.
