Line 156:
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: In ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2'', the bow is aimed and fired with the triggers instead of O in ''Ninja Gaiden I'' and ''Ninja Gaiden II''. Justified since it allows to fire shurikens even with the bow equipped, but it does take a bit of time to get used to it. The opposite way is even worse: in ''Ninja Gaiden II'', many a ''Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2'' player will try to throw shurikens mid-jump and fire an arrow. [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|And get killed]].
** Same deal with the guard button: in the Xbox games, it's on the left trigger; in the [[Play Station 3]] ones, it's on L1. Considering the consequences of letting your guard down for one second in ''Ninja Gaiden II'', this can be a problem.
* [[Deadly Lunge]]: The Flying Swallow and Guillotine Throw techniques can make short work of the standard [[Mooks]].
** A lot of enemies like to pull these stunts too.
* [[Death From Above]]: A gameplay mechanic in ''Ninja Gaiden 3''. You can jump from a high building and [[Artistic License Physics|glide in the air]] towards the poor mook, before impaling him as you land.
* [[Desperation Attack]]: Unlaboured Flawlessness.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: [[In-Universe]], there's a plaque on Liberty Island on which Ryu remark, "They are teaching the ways of the ninja...unfortunately, their information is all wrong."
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Both incarnations of the franchise involve Ryu eventually fighting giant demons.
* [[Difficulty by Region]]: The NES version of ''Ninja Gaiden III'' increased the damage sustained from enemies by twice the amount compared to the its Famicom counterpart, while limiting the number of times the player can continue after a [[Game Over]] and removing the password system. Moreover, if the player loses a life in the NES version, he will respawn at the beginning of the entire stage instead of the last area he was like in the Famicom version.
* [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]: The [[What Measure Is a Mook?]] message in ''Ninja Gaiden 3'' is severely undermined by just how glorious it feels to perform the steel-on-bone finishers, all with flashy camera angles, juicy sounds and subtle vibrations. Although the more sensitive players may want to let the mooks live when they are scared shitless after you perform the fire-dragon Ninpo.
