Ninja Gaiden/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: Somewhat of a subversion. Most of the fans who are aware of the 2-player [[Beat'Em Up]] version of the arcade believed it came before the first NES game. In reality, the arcade version was developed simultaneously with the NES version, with the two teams making their own game based on the same basic concept.

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Sort-of with the Dark Disciple, who claimed to have the power of the "Devil Incarnate", but gets punched out anyway

⚫

** He was piss easy in the original game, but ''Ninja Gaiden Black'' significantly upped the difficulty by [[Nerf|nerfing]] the Flying Swallow (a diving sword strike that would be a [[Game Breaker]] in the original, if it wasn't already [[Nintendo Hard]]).

⚫

** Considering that roughly 70% of the game is spent chasing her down, Elizabét in ''Ninja Gaiden II'' isn't much of a challenge. She's arguably easier than Volf.

*** Until ''Sigma II'' rectified it: like with the Dark Disciple, good ol' flying swallow spamming won't work this time!

⚫

** The [[Final Boss]] in ''Ninja Gaiden 3''. Not that the fight isn't visually impressive, but you spend 50% of it fighting fiends it sends at you, another 30% doing QTEs and 20% actually fighting it (the way you fight the Statue of Liberty in ''Sigma 2'' more or less). All in all, it is probably the easiest boss of the game.

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: For Nintendo fans, the fact that ''Ninja Gaiden 3'' will hit the [[Wii U]] ''and'' along with the dismemberment back.

** And for added bonus, new weapons and ninpo are in for [[Wii U]]. Needless to say that [[Play Station 3]]/360 fans are ''not'' happy with this.

** Also the inclusion of two additional weapons as free DLC in the Xbox/PS3 game. The choice of removing all weapons except the katana wasn't exactly received well. [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|Though "rejoiced" is a big word considering how bad the fandom reacted to the game.]]

* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: Has its own [[Ninja Gaiden/Awesome Music|page]].

* [[Complete Monster]]: If you're thinking that Jaquio is a sick bastard, you're ''very'' right.
