There's no way KZfaq going to keep me away from this channel.

I thoroughly enjoy how you respond to criticism with a sarcastic and metaphorical middle finger.

"I've heard better tunes coming out of the bathroom on taco Tuesday..." CLASSIC!

Ninja Gaiden II for 360 is a classic. That game is super badass

I've seen every single video you've posted , I can't get enough ! Your a truly amazing guy 🤜🤛 keep up the great content

So pleased to come home to this video tonight after a brutally warm day outside.

I'm a pure Ninja Gaiden fan and i finally found this second video of yours - awesome 👍.

Oh, wow. I forgot all about the Tiger wristwatch version. Now that I've seen it on here again, I now remember a kid in 1st grade had it and showed it to me back then. Thanks for the reminder!

Even though the games are so different (NES, arcade, Xbox/PS3) in design... they all have that "way too damn hard" factor.

Remember if you beat momji's initial seemingly hopeless boss fight you unlock a brand new campaign with her!

Still Sub'd and still loving the videos! They have given me comfort through the Covid epidemic and my wife leaving at the same time! Thank you so much!

The original arcade, and the first 3 Xbox versus were just pure class.

Ninja Gaiden is one of my favorite series even tho I only got to play the nes version a couple of times as a kid I was hooked. I got to play the Xbox version a lot more later at a friends house but had no idea of the unlocks. So I learned something new today, thanks. I’m now playing the 360 & pc engine version & they are difficult as usual but a lot fun. Great video.

Was just about to hit the bed and I see your video was uploaded. It was definitely worth staying up for. Great video as always. :)

I’ve recently picked up a factory sealed of Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z at a mom and pop store a few days ago before you upload Part 2 series. I’m still soul searching for Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge for PlayStation 3, still no luck. Keep it up with your document series!

Those later Ninja Gaiden games were extremely difficult I can't tell you how many times I cursed playing those games but I passed them all and there is no greater feeling then passing a game that's very difficult like Ninja Gaiden.

*PatmanQC* thanks for posting this video. I fondly remember playing the original Ninja Gaiden in the arcade. It was certainly challenging but oddly addictive at the same time. As per your PSA at the start of this video, I noticed I'm still subscribed to your channel and the notification bell is turned on. Since you took the time to correctly pronounce Ryu, I went ahead and gave this video a 'Like' as well. All jokes aside, I truly enjoy your content. Your videos are not only educational for nerdy gamers like myself, but you manage to turn up the nostalgia factor to 11! 😂😂

I love your videos they're very educational especially to those that never grew up in the '80s I love video games always and forever

I’m here early because PatmanQC is the best!

When I first saw the PC-Engine version years ago, I was surprised that it was the same as the NES but with an entirely different soundtrack, except for the Stage Intro. It also goes by the full Japanese title of, "Ninja Ryukenden."

Roo like the end of the word kangaroo is close enough. Plug this in and it will help リュウ・ハヤブサ. I have a friend with this name and he goes by your pronunciation in the states. This is because the Japanese is difficult for most non-speakers to say. I love your channel, and I love your videos.

I miss those days, back when Chad producer Itagaki was making Chad ultra-violent and ultra-sexy games. They've gone down hill without him, NG hasn't had a new game since 2014 Yaiba, and DOA6 got such a low player count for a fighting game that it's barely getting any updates anymore.

Currently I'm still subscribed to this channel.

3 minutes. A new record for me!

That kid in the Tiger Electronics ad sure did spin around a lot. Just like Superman did in his Genesis game, when prompted by the "Spin Here" sign. Lots of spinning in your recent videos.

I always check my subscription status on your channel. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next. Hope you're well and thank you again!

That intro logo always makes me think I’m about to watch a Popeye cartoon!!!! Love it man!

Thank you for the video game history of ninja gaiden. 😀👍🎮

I use to own the Tiger Ninja Gaiden game. It was a great little game, lol!

Great 2 parter video , I recently completed my Ps3 NG collection when I found and purchased razors edge and watching this was such a refresher to the series 👍

Dragon Sword was such a guilty pleasure :>

The 3D ninja gaiden games are where it's at! Though I've only played the ps3 versions.

Entertaining as always, Patman. So glad I found your channel.

I played the NES games as they came out but didn’t play the newer ones until the Vita releases. They were so fun on that system

You missed the fact that Team Ninja included the dragon ninja outfit and sword in the game Nioh as well as a secret boss fight with Ryu's ancient ancestor who was the dragon ninja of the era.

I remember as a kid renting the original Ninja Gaiden for the NES from the local video store. They had it listed as "Ninja THE Gaiden", because they thought the Kanji for Gaiden on the cover was just supposed to be the word "the" in English. I... can kinda almost see it I guess?

This is good, this was the 1st Ryu of the gaming world then way before Ryu of Street fighter .

Just discovered your channel sir, and I can say I love your content! Thumbs way up!

This is my favorite series of video games. I had no idea how many ports there were. I had that ninja gaiden from tiger electronics game. I believe it craped the bed but I had fun with it. Awesome job with the vid! 👍

I'm never walking pass this gentleman's house on Tuesdays. Depending on wind conditions, I'll wait until late Wednesday afternoon to be in the area. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Forgot you were doing a part 2 to this!. - If there's one thing you can guarantee it' s that all videogame characters will end up in a golf game at some point.

I'm still subscribed and it better stay that way dagnabbit.

Still subscribed.. Very much still love your content. Thank you, Bruv.

Great coverage and as always great video

Seeing the footage from the Xbox games, the Nioh franchise seems to be a spiritual successor.

Big fan of the Ninja Gaiden series. I played the SNES and XBOX games. Good stuff Really hard (yet satisfying) I love the jog down memory lane. I don't game anymore but I'm interested in booting up my xbox360 just to play Ninja Gaiden II, which I still have lol

Very informative video. You left one cameo out though. The series, Nioh, also by Team Ninja, has a secret fight where you fight an ancestor of Ryu, Jin Hayabusa. Donning the same blue dragon ninja attire as Ryu, he is extremely formidable, and has near the same skills as his Xbox incarnation. Defeating him nets you his weapons and costume, and a chance at 2 special skill drops that allow you to learn the Art of the Inferno ninpo, and his famous Izuna Drop technique. Have a great day!

I beat Ninja Gaiden Black on normal on Xbox. I don't remember much about the game other than the feelings of frustration I had. One of the most difficult games I ever played.

"If these the kinda girls that are attractive to ninjas; I'm going to start training to be a martial artist as soon I'm done with this video." That's a good one. After, watching the Tiger Electronic commercial. A though just came to mind. There is also a Ninja Gaiden commercial for the NES. Yes, I check the subscription tab and it is fine.

OMG! Im still rolling laughing about what Patman said about the music in Ninja Gaiden III for Atari Lynx. "I've heard better sounds coming out of a bathroom on Taco Tuesday" 😂😂😂😂 What poetry!!! Too Funny Patman!!

Love your videos sir. Please keep up the good work!

Ryu in Japanese not only sounds like one syllable but the R has a trill so depending on the accent it can sound like Dyu

Great set of videos

awesome some RYU and Herb Alperts Spanish Flea!! That Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox looks like an Onimusha knock-off

Rye-Yoo is one of my favorite characters.

If you are into the original series, There are quite a few games in the app store that play similar to it & are alot of fun.

Honestly u one of my favorite youtubers always entertaining and u seem like a guenually good person keep it up

I was able to beat Ninja Gaiden NES with no deaths! My best gaming moment!

You think it's bad how he pronounced Ryu? Back in my day, we called it Ninja GAY-DEN.

Very informative video thanks!

Great retrospective, a comprehensive look at the wall-jumping adventures of Ryu (REE-yoo) Hayabusa! I still have my PS3, I gotta check out some of the Ninja Gaiden games for that platform!

i love this guy!!!! love me back dude

Aw yeah Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox 360 is still my favourite game of all time, I'll have to watch this alter, was in recommend.

Ninja Gaiden on Xbox was difficult. Kicked my butt.

*I watched Part 1 and Part 2 of The History of Ninja Gaiden videos you made . I love both of the videos. Can you do a Bonus Video called " What we want to see in Ninja Gaiden 4 for PS5 ?*

You the man Patman!

I have subscribed, my friend. I have been watching for awhile and making comments and just realized I had not yet subscribed. My apologies. Still looking forward to a video on Gauntlet games.

2:19 oh I see the Tree Sentinel came a long way from Limgrave

Still subbed... Ya'll want to see awesome Ninja Gaiden play just lookup Arcus

What kind of sick, son of a!! What button was that for the shaking, I mean secret ninjitsu shaking art again?? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

You forgot to mention that you could unlock the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden on Ninja Gaiden Black!

I hear KZfaq unsubscribes people that haven't logged in 6 months. Then when they log in again, they're resubscribed. Or so I hear as of maybe 5 years ago.

The Xbox ninja Gaiden Still one of my most favorite games of all time

Great video as always Patman, I appreciate the work you put into it, oh and I'm still subcribed

perfect video man. I loved it. Now I hope we get a had remake of the sima series on PS5 one day. It will ever happen but a man can dream

I'd love to see how the Hayabusa clan/ village schools and trains their children. "Ninja Gaiden: Children Of The Hayabusa Clan/ Village", a game where were see Ryu, Rachel and others like Ayane as kids in martial arts training with a Naruto manga art style to the character designs.

The correct pronunciation is: "Ree-Yowza this is too damn hard!"

still subscribed great videos keep up the good work good sir

I remember playing ninja gaiden black when I brought my 1st Xbox good times

What a great episode. Surely i remember the DS ninja gaiden. I bought my copy when i used to work at blockbuster. Great retrospective on the series Pat. KZfaq had unsubbed me. I dont know when but i have returned haha. Time to binge on some of your videos. I have alot of catching up to do. Hope all is well my friend. :)

Great video. I'm a big fan of Team Jiggle..I mean Team Ninja

Yea I'm still subscribed 👍🏻👍🏾

Another great episode. Btw I pronounce it Roo I’m im sticking to it.

top stuff

I played that Tiger game. It was a Tiger game. It was a lot like those what those Tuesday tacos became on Wednesday.

I still prefer the first ninja gaiden on the nes over everything that came after it

Still subscribed! Thankfully

I was told by someone who speaks Japanese that Ryu is pronounced similar to "roo" like kangaroo.

I love your tongue in cheek style

The NES trilogy is where it's at and I still like getting my butt kicked by it. I wasn't aware of Ryu in the Die nasty Warriors series though I guess I shouldn't be surprised given that Koei and Tecmo are one now, I'll have to check that out, thanks😁👍

You forgot about Jin Hyabusa’s in Nioh and Ren Hyabusa in Nioh 2 :)

The return of NAViGaTR

Fun Channel for sure

I pronounce Ryu the same way you initially did. Same as how we pronounce RIE-U in Street Fightger. People can debate how it's pronounced forever, but I'm sticking with RIE-U personally :)

checked and still subscribed. :)

I always got lost in one of the last levels for Ninja Gaidan Xbox so never did beat it

Been a while since I've seen your vids Pat! How are you? Great 2-parter btw!

Ninja Gaiden on XBOX looks to be a Devil May Cry clone. God, that jittery background on the TG-16 OG Ninja Gaiden port is so jarring. They should've programmed in proper parallax shift.

Wish Shinobi got a proper reboot

Good video
