I'd say it's the hardest of the trilogy. Somehow the hitbox on Ryu's sword seemed a lot crappier than in NG1. Then again it's also the one I've played the least so I'm incredibly biased.

***** Yes it is, The only thing though is that since this is a Speed run so he s trying to save time and finish the game efficiently no items are grabbed to save the frame per seconds players waste in doing so.. And sword-only almost evens it out with the 1st NG but still Ninja Gaiden 1 is the mother of them all in DIfficulty. Some people find this game harder than the first. admits that it is the first NG that is the hardest, To me is... In difficulty ! Ninja Gaiden 2 Ninja Gaiden Ancient Ship of Doom (US Ver) 3 Ninja Gaiden 2, 4 Ninja Gaiden 3 (Pal/JAP Ver)

Always enjoy your videos! These are games of my childhood. They still work on my original system with my original cartridge, but these days I play emulator. Even with state save abuse some of these games are very hard to beat. Ninja Gaiden 2 is one such game. I did beat it on the real system and cartridge back in 2002. Took almost a week pausing on and off (system stayed on, amazingly) but did it. I just finished Ninja Gaiden 2 on emulator using state save abuse prolifically and don't know how I ever beat it on the actual cartridge!! Anyway, after revisiting an old NES or SNES title on emulator I sometimes do visit here, and I do very much enjoy your speedruns of such games. Not only is it in admiration, but it is an education to watch your very cool videos. Plus commentary on glitches/hit boxes is always enjoyed. I like every bit of your treatise on these games. Incredible the technology we have that mediates your experience of such game to mine!

It's easier than the first one just because the controller respond so much better specially when doing Wall Climbs (climbing to the top of a wall out of a wall jump, you know what i mean, forgot how that mechanic is called).
