Ninja Gaiden: Difference between revisions

* [[Press X to Not Die]]: One of the most frequent complaints regarding ''Ninja Gaiden 3'' is the heavy use of scripted sequences --... of the "you can take a shower and have a tea before pressing the button" type.

* [[Prequel]]: The X-Box games and the DS Game ''Dragon Sword'' compared to the NES originals.

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Ayane's alternate costume in ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2''.

* [[Product Placement]]: ''Ninja Gaiden II'' has some in the New York level, notably for Toshiba. Strangely, you don't see them in ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2''.

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Arguably the Special Forces and Vigoorian Military, though the journals found in ''Ninja Gaiden II'' show the Black Spider ninjas to be something of this as well.

* [[Race Against the Clock]]: In Act 7 of ''Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom'', should you make it to the [[Final Boss]] without dying, you will notice that the timer is '''very close''' to zero once you reach Clancy.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: Genshin.

** [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|The Tengu Brothers]] in ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2'': first, you fight one alone early in Chapter 5, who flees in the middle. You fight them together at the end of the same chapter. Then in the beginning of chapterChapter 14, you fight the two but one of them escapes in the middle. You kill the other, and the one that escaped reappears at the end of the chapter, [[Flunky Boss|with a few other ninjas]]. And finally, you fight the two in chapterChapter 16. What's interesting is that you almost ''always'' have to fight them after going through several long and harsh fights, [[Check Point Starvation|with no possibility to save between the fights]], meaning you will rarely confront them at full health.

** The Regent of the Mask in ''Ninja Gaiden 3''.

* [[Red Right Hand]]: In the third game , {{spoiler|Ryu. After fighting the Regent of the Mask, he has his Dragon Sword absorbed into his right arm, making it red. It's apparently some kind of "punishment" to make him feel the pain of the people he killed.}}.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: The boob-jiggling feature in ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma II2''. You can even do it during ''cutscenes''.

* [[Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated]]: In ''The Ancient Ship of Doom'', Irene is supposedly killed by Ryu's doppelganger on Foster's orders. In truth, she had faked her death and was working with the U.S. Army to uncover evidence on Foster's crimes.
