34 year old here. I devoted several months of my life to playing this game after school and on the weekends all the way through until completion. It's a solid gem and soooo hard. Once you start unlocking and advancing the different weapons it gets so good. You can definitely see how this game paved the way for souls and souls like games.

Same age as you. I only played the black version of NG. This was right after I made the stupid decision to drop out of high school. Since I had nothing but time, I became so good at the game that I was getting all the time bonuses on every battle, even boss battles Then I started playing Master Ninja. I kid you not, it took me THREE WEEKS to get to the first checkpoint on the first chapter. That difficulty was a whole other beast. It was even worse in the sequel with the incendiary ninjas. But I’ll never forget those feelings of accomplishment and reward when you finally beat that one battle that’s been taking you days to beat. What a rush. And yeah once you get the Lunar and learn the tricks like instant UT’s by jumping, landing and pressing Y, while also learning how to block essence until you need to use it… that’s what really gets you through.

We had a self-set challenge with my friends at high school, and it was to beat Ninja Gaiden at Master Ninja difficulty by the end of high school. All three of us played the same playthrough and when one of us lost his shit, we changed the player. It was honestly the most difficult time I've experienced in a videogame, I even thought I'd be done with gaming. By the time it was the final spring, really close to summer, when we finally did it and I think beating this game meant more than finishing high school. It made good memories!

Ninja Gaiden 1 (NES) is hella cheap but not hard. The most difficult parts are a bullshit jump in 6‐2(?), Jaquio's patterns and the fact you need to redo all of Act 6 if you die to the final boss. Everything else is very manageable. Ninja Gaiden 2 (NES) is the easiest game in the series and a good introduction point for any newcomers. Highly recommend. Ninja Gaiden 3 (NES) is the toughest of the NES games, primarily due to bullshit regional difficulty (International version has limited continues and enemies deal double damage; Japanese version has unlimited continues and enemies deal normal damage). Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360) are definitely the hardest games in the series. A brutal challenge that will destroy your sanity. While I appreciate the performance boost of the Sigma versions, the lowered difficulty is a tough sell. I'd recommend people to stick with the originals. Ninja Gaiden 3/Razor's Edge is weeeeeeeird. Play the updated version for sure. The original was embarrassingly easy.

Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2 are in my all time favourite games. I spent hours and hours trying to beat this game: it's very hard especially on Master, but if you mastered this game it really made you feel like a ninja and yes I beat it multiple times when it first came out. This is the Sigma version which is like version 1.2 of the first one so for some reason it expected you to know what you were doing and just threw you straight into the fight whereas the original gave you a bit more time to learn. Either way, this is absolutely hilarious watching someone trying to play it now 😅

That nunchuck guy is one of the hardest first bosses any game I've ever seen. I ended up finding out that you could max out the wood sword and it's better than the dragon swords, so I ran in a loop and grinded for it,and the game lost a lot of its difficulty afterwards

Ninja Gaiden Black and Sigma are rare examples of a game that actually consoderably changes with each harder difficulty beyond just enemies getting more HP and you taking more damage. You fight newer types of enemies with each difficulty level (including bosses that are exclusive to the hardest modes, Very Hard and Master Ninja Mode), and having you fight late game enemies later. Master Ninja Mode in particular is infamous for placing traps in areas and objects that used to be completely safe, sometimes insta-killing you. As if that wasn't enough, the Mission and Ninja Trials Modes in these games are also easy contenders for the hardest challenges they pose (check Eternal Legend in Ninja Gaiden Black and Sigma)

It was the best and worse decisions I made as a child.I was stuck on the first level for 3 days I couldn’t beat the nunchuck guy for shit😭😭. I didn’t wanna quit tho cause I imagined I was the ninja and I didn’t wanna go out like a bitch and just quit. That game brought the worst outta me and I didn’t beat it till almost my next birthday. It truly was amassing for its time and the satisfaction of beating the levels is almost as equivalent as beating malenia😭.

Honestly, I didn’t beat this game till after beating the sequel and since then have only done again less than a dozen times. It’s another one of those games that’s difficult to beat but very satisfying when you do.

Beat this Game as a kid! Don't feel bad spamming moves, like flying swallow! also wall running and jumping is important to stay off the ground and away from enemies. You can the strike from above, also jumping off their heads is a good way to stop them and avoid at the same time. Make sure to use your lives of a thousand gods! it will increase your total life bar! also in a pinch you can save them for bosses and use them as a healing item!

I remember beat this game on normal mode. Few months later, they updated for Ninja Gaiden Black for more enemies and difficulties it was tough. The director said with difficulty update not many people could beat it. One day later update, more than 3,000 people beat this game in day one. He felt bad already 3 thousand people beat this game. Also when Microsoft Xbox team was testing this game for QC, they couldn't beat this game. They sent it back to Xbox Japan saying that this game is broken. They simply cannot progress certain stage. The director, Itagaki, said it's easy to beat this game. Xbox team fly to Japan to meet him. He shows how to beat this game. He shows completly different move.
