3 of the greatest games ever!

The Ninja Gaiden series had some of the greatest games on the NES. Ninja Gaiden trilogy has all three of these games with slightly improved graphics. The controls are a little quirky, and the graphics aren't that much better than the NES version, but the games are great nonetheless. This is a must-buy for fans of the series.

3 in 1 three times the fun

This shows what the SNES was capable of, compact wise. Being able to fit three games in one is excellent. It has a quality to it not seen in some games today.
the graphic upgrade makes the game memorable. More detail to certain levels and Cinema enhances are worth the price alone.
The music however was slightly altered. Some I don't mind (most of the stuff form Ninja Gaiden 2) but Act 2 in Ninja Gaiden 1 was a big dissapointment.
The challenge was altered only for certain levels. Thus it makes some games a little easier. Also another welcome is unlimited continues added to #3.
Buy this game, just do so.

[For those of you that may have been mislead, this is NOT a Castlevania rip-off. This is a classic series that should not be ignored. Also, you are a wimp if you complain about the control scheme.]

The trilogy, originally for the NES, is here for Super NES and with excellent results.

The graphics are generally the same and have been improved in many areas. The sound and music also got an uplift. They also added a password system to this and IT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER.

Let's face it, these three games are some of the best NES games ever made. Sure, they're hard but you know what? These were made back in the day when NINTENDO GAMES KICKED YOUR [...] AND MADE YOU LOVE THEM. Ninja Gaiden was no exception, and it ranks as one of the best NES games ever. To have it along with its sequels onto one cartridge (and improved) is awesome, pure and simple.

My only complaint is that they let the buttons (A is Jump, B is Attack) stay like the NES rather than shift it to the Super NES style, which would've made Y the attack button and B the jump button. However, it DOESN'T detract from the game AND TO RATE THIS GAME LOWER BECAUSE OF THAT WOULD BE FRIVOLOUS. I give this 5 stars, simply put, because all three Ninja Gaiden games are milestones in video gaming history.

This is the SEXIEST game ever

Ninja Gaiden is the best video game series of all time. The ones for original Nintendo will never be outperformed by any other game. The soundtracks on these games are awesome too, a must buy!

Could've been the greatest game ever, but

A JUMPS AND B ATTACKS? THAT MIGHT WORK ON THE NES, BUT NOT ON THE SNES. ON THE SNES IN MOST PLATFORMERS, B JUMPS AND Y ATTACKS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS STANDARD PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED THIS GAME. THERE'S NOT EVEN A CONFIGURATION MODE TO FIX THE CONTROL PROBLEM. ALSO, GRAPHICS ARE UNIMPROVED OVER THE NES! WHY!? The game's not all bad though. Passwords allow you to continue from the level you left off on, which is a major convenience. Because of that alone getting this is better than getting the NES titles separately.

Best trilogy. Ever

I must admit I was wishing that Tecmo would have improved the graphics, but after a few trips down memory lane, I was hooked back on one of my favorite series. The action is just as intense as ever, and the music is sweet. The cinemas have been redrawn as well. The effect of the new graphics will make you drool. If only Tecmo worked on the rest of the game. Three games on one cart is a great deal. For those of you who missed out, try playing these classics. You won't regret it.

The gameplay is great,but the remade music is not

I was a HUGE fan of Ninja Gaiden 2 back in the day.In fact one of my most lasting impressions in video game history was rescuing Irene Lew from the Tower of Laja.

So this should be perfect for some retro-gaming quality right?Well,not quite.For one the music has been "enhanced" as the box says.To be honest I think it sounds pretty terrible.Tecmo has replaced the flutes with horns and it just doesn't sound that good in Ninja Gaiden 2.

Also in one of the last scenes where Jaquio has been killed and his blood flows toward the Sword of Chaos;there was some major editing.In the original his blood was red,in the remake it is now green.That really takes away from the effect in my opinion.

There is also no end credit roll for Ninja Gaiden 2;which means we don't get to hear that cool theme as all the various cinemas play out.HUGE disapointment!!

I will agree that the password system makes it easier to a degree.

On Ninja Gaiden 3 however,the last password you get still puts you two levels behind the last boss.I think the same holds true for Ninja Gaiden 1.

All and all,a great attempt;but I would rather play Ninja Gaiden 2 (which is my favorite of the series anyway) on my top loader NES.

Tecmo,if it ain't broke don't "fix" it! --original Irene/Ryu music plays in the background--
