Ninja Gaiden 2 and Streets of Rage 3 are the first titles to be reviewed in GameArgus.com's Wii Virtual Console Corner. Read on to see what Peter Skerritt, Jr. thought of them.
Brawlers reached their zenith in the early 1990s, but declined in popularity soon after. Put in your gumshield and prepare for fisticuffs as we find out why.
Games like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry pride themselves on their often intense difficulty levels, so it is only fair that less skilled players are given option of making things little easier for themselves. After all, they paid for the video games and they have the right to experience as much of them as possible.
A lot of these developers forget that videogames are supposed to be fun, I understand that gamers love a challenge but don't mock or make fun of those that like to play for fun. Me personally if a game starts to feel like a chore or job I'm done with it there are some games I think are more fun playing on higher difficulty like Resident Evil & Borderlands but other gamers might not agree, I hate playing Halo, Madden & COD on higher difficulty but I have friends who love it. So don't belittle someone just because your skill level better that theirs, have fun at the expense of the game not another individual.
I play everything on the easiest. I want a good story and good fun, not a headache.
I want hell, I love to feel the heat and flame of max difficulty. Give me hell.
For the first NES Ninja Gaiden game, Tecmo created a tough but fun action platformer. It was very different to the scrolling beat 'em up action of the arcade game, but people liked it; sales must have been good too, because Ryu Hayabusa returned for a second NES outing. Gameplay in Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos is much the same as before with Ryu running and jumping through several levels, slashing away at a variety of enemies as he goes.
The story takes place a year after the first game and sees our Ninja of the Dragon Sword up against Ashtar, the Emperor of Darkness. Ashtar is a man prone to standing in thunderstorms when talking to underlings and who has an interest in using the Sword of Chaos to cast open the gate of darkness. Well, we all need hobbies. Returning to help tell this story are the "Tecmo Theatre" cutscenes.
The game is impossible. Maybe with infinte lives, you could beat it, but limited continues kills it for me.
This is the easiest one of the NES trilogy. The first one is the hardest, but this one is my fav. Ashtar was my boy, and fantastic sdtk.
It's only the american Ninja Gaiden 3 that has limited continues. This game and the first has unlimited.
