Every cinematic, in order, from the original Ninja Gaiden for the NES. Pretty epic!

It’s pretty simple today, sure, but I can’t imagine how mind blowing these cutscenes must have been in the 80s when this came out. You gotta think of how many console games of the time just had a text screen at the title and maybe an ending image, then in comes Ninja Gaiden with this awesome story that plays out over the course of the whole game. Hell even today it’s still got a really cool tale to tell, and the translation is like actually good which is something not even Metal Gear got back then. An awesome classic game all around!

I've heard Golgo 13 has cut scenes too, though I've never played it.

Analyzing these cutscenes, the Japanese know how to minimize using animation and still the content grabs your attention. It is many of the illustrations that are repeated and upcycled if you really think about it to minimize cost while it continues to create an impact with a modest budget. These are good modest budget techniques that have minimal animation. Alien vs Predator Capcom Arcade version has minimal animation and the music draws you in the most. Only mouths move, heads turn, it’s a moving illustration or storybook.
@TheZmusicGroup Жыл бұрын
Yeah even nowadays it holds up pretty well given the support, id say the Ninja Gaiden games (all of them) have the most pleasant cutscenes for 8 bit games. Tecmo knew how to do it. That's how you give live to a really minimal system of representation

I wouldn’t say it was to minimize on the budget, but more due to how much limitations the NES/Famicom had.

A designated 'classic', yes. But I don't think this game gets the proper credit it deserves for how ridiculously groundbreaking and innovative it was for its time.

@11:41. That look like Hugh Laurie on acid to anyone else? LMAO! This was one of my absolute favorite nes games, and the one it took me until adulthood to actually beat! It had the deepest plot, scariest imagry (to an 11 year old, demon resurrection and moons turning to blood are indeed scary😮) BUT the DUMBEST outfit for a main villain Ive ever seen, to this day. Jaquio looks like the mascot for a team called the dung beetles! Otherwise this game is an 8bit masterpiece, although with an incredibly difficult final boss. I vividly recall ending playthroughs in FURY, after going the whole way through and killing every other boss, only to get pwned by the Demon and run out of time and shut the system off!

По-моему мнению, эта игра обладает самым бесподобным музыкальным сопровождением на NES, также как и классическая серия «Mega Man» (без 7 и 8 части, но включая 9 и 10).

Was Irene the girl who shot Ryu in the bar? If so, why is he making out with her? What did "I see the anesthetic is wearing off" mean? Who was anesthetized? What is a sea swallow? Why didn't Ken even draw his sword when battling Malth? Who is Lukifell?
@zulu32742 жыл бұрын
Yes, Irene was the girl that shot ryu at the bar?... She shot him with a tranquilizing dart and Kidnapped Ryu... Sea swallow was Irene's code name... I'm sure Ken did try to fight Malth but he lost to him but they probably wanted to turn Ken into the mask devil because of how strong he is... Like a new soldier in Jaquio army... So they transformed Ken because Ken was probably one of the few people that could challenge them.... But none of them knew Ryu was this strong... Lukifell is probably the center they was holding ryu at.... At what point did you see something about lukifell?...

@@zulu3274 I thought that what you said about the tranquilizing dart was true. If Irene had used a bullet, Ryu would be injured or dead, right? Stage 5-3 was called the East Town Outer Wall/ the Nails of Lukifell. In the very beginning, it didn't look like Ken even drew his sword while battling Malth. He looked like the worst Ninja ever.

@@tenderpawsm473 😁 That's not true, ken had his weapon drawn while fighting Malth... In the very beginning neither ninjas had their weapons drawn until they was in the air (look closely) then BOTH had their swords drawn to strike mid air but the one in the red (ken) fell and one in grey still standing was Malth... Which is why malth would know how good ken was as a swordman... Then later on Malth put on the ram outfit... lol Or maybe malth was standing there observing Ken duel with another Ninja that was good as ken... LoL Okay, so I'm guessing leukifill must be a name/part of the city ryu was in while he was on the mission?....."nails" of Leukifill would indicate some sort of hand structure right?... Maybe it's metaphorical for someone or something that's unknown but included into the game story....... But I'm thinking Lukifill is is some sort of building......lol
