Play Ninja Ryukenden II - Ankoku no Jashin Ken (Japan) Online – Nintendo (NES) Game

Game Overview

"Ninja Ryukenden II - Ankoku no Jashin Ken" (better known outside Japan as Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos) is a pulse-pounding NES classic that takes the series' signature high-octane action to even greater heights. Step back into the shadows as Ryu Hayabusa, slicing through waves of enemies with your razor-sharp ninja skills—only this time, you’ve got a few new tricks up your sleeve. The game amps up the challenge with eerie new stages, brutal bosses, and the awesome ability to create shadow clones of yourself, adding a fresh layer of strategy to the chaos.

Fans of the original will love the tighter controls and even more cinematic cutscenes that made Ninja Gaiden a storytelling pioneer on the NES. But be warned: this sequel doesn’t pull its punches. With relentless enemies and some of the most unforgiving platforming of the era, it’s a true test of ninja mastery. If you crave fast-paced action with a side of nostalgia, this is one retro gem that still shines—just don’t throw your controller when the difficulty spikes!"
