Any1 think Ninja Gaiden on the NES was....

The best Ninja Gaiden game? They are all good but the 1st ever Ninja Gaiden on the NES is still king imo.

Ninja Gaiden Black was better.

NG 1 or 2 on the NES. Both were great. 3 sucked.

no. stuff from the NES era is just to old for me to enjoy now. sure its was great at the time, but i can't play that stuff now

The old arcade ones were fun, I didn't like the NES ones though, but really Ninja Gaiden Black on the Xbox may be the best action adventure game ever. It had such good game mechanics and pacing in the level design and some of the best best bosses out there. Oh and those birds in the NES games suck.

I liked NG2 more, but yeah, NG1 on the NES was pretty sick too, i also liked 3, don't know why the constant hate, however, nowadays i think NGB is overall better, since is hard has hell but not cheap like their NES counterpart, sure, technology and all that stuff, but still.

have you played the master system version?ohthemanatee

Yep, that version rips apart the NES games. Better graphics, better presentation and much faster gameplay...

Ninja Gaiden Black was better.

I loved NG1 as a kid and remember that the game was not only slick but pretty refined in its design. I HATED how hard it was!!! but who didnt? I actually like NG2 best, but im not a huge overall fan of the series. theyre great but nothing I write home about.

Has anyone who thinks the old school Ninja Gaiden games are good played them in the last couple years? They are utterly broken games that are only "hard" because they are broken. Much like every subsequent NG game except Black.

Maybe good is the wrong word then. I still play the NG games quite often (played NG 2 last week) and while agree they are very broken (mainly due to huge glitches) I guess calling them FUN would be better than calling them good.

This is true for me also. The only one I can think of that I could still tolerate is SMB3. Everything else popular that was good at the time, that I tried totally failed (Zelda, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Ninja Gaiden, etc.). SNES era I can still tolerate many of the good, popular stuff still.

Still prefer NG2.
