Game Overview

Ninja Gaiden on the Master System is kind of a hidden gem—it’s not just a straight port of the NES version. Sure, you’re still slashing through waves of enemies as Ryu Hayabusa, but the levels are totally different, and the story takes some wild turns. The first stage throws you right into a burning city, and the music? Way moodier than you’d expect from an 8-bit game.

It’s got that classic Ninja Gaiden difficulty too—enemies love to ambush you from off-screen, and the platforming can be brutal. But the controls feel tight, and there’s something satisfying about mastering the wall jumps. If you’ve only played the NES version, this one’s worth a look just for the fresh level designs.
