Fans of the original Ninja Gaiden trilogy for the Nintendo Entertainment System, or the later games like Ninja Gaiden Black, might see this arcade release and think, "Oh, an arcade version of the first game! I should try this."
These players will be deeply disappointed. Ninja Gaiden for the arcade is almost completely unrelated to the beloved series starring Ryu Hayabusa. It is instead a clunky, sluggish beat-'em-up in the vein of Double Dragon.
This game released in 1989, the same year as the seminal NES release of the same name, but it appears there was no crossover between the two development teams. The NES game's superb music, solid graphics, and speedy twitch gameplay are not found here. Instead, we have a deeply mediocre brawler that happens to feature a ninja named Ryu.
I suppose one thing the NES and arcade games have in common is that they are both very difficult. The difference is this arcade game is not fun, and you won't want to keep playing or come back again.
Not recommended.
