AVGN: Ninja Gaiden

Playing the Gaiden games....I honestly think they had to nerf the shit out of Ryu Hayabusa in Dead or Alive 4. Lol~

California....

I love this episode...the training montage was hilarious, and the performances were spot on! Well done, James! lol

MORE FUCKEN PORN BITCH

You know, Guy Den, actually sounds gayer than Gay Den.

This game is such a beast. It took me so many hours to beat it.

Actually no matter what you have if you die on the boss it sends you all the way back.

Say, if he had infinite lives, wouldn't that mean he could continually keep playing the boss? Infinite lives means no continue, therefore, no start from 6-1. That's just an observation I saw, not a critique.

So, far, this has been my favorite episode! Funny as hell!

man i play nes all day evry day ima die hard nes fan i have evry nes emulator known in the us

Probably the best AVGN episode made so far.

Hey James what do you think of the remake ninja gaiden the 1st is on xbox 2nd is on xbox 360 so is the 3rd coming out try the remakes if you have them man.

One of my favourite AVGN videos. Glad to see an AVGN review about an awesome game like Ninja Gaiden. As a Martial Arts movie fan, I also enjoyed the "training scene" :-)

Even though the first two had unlimited continues, I never beat those games, never had patience when it came to Jaquio. Despite the third having limited continues, its actually the easiest. Fewer enemies and the jump back after getting hit was A LOT smaller. Beat that one many times.

reminds me of castlevania 3

I just got this game yesterday for nes and got to the 4-4 boss down to 2 bars left and gave up because it was late. and shit man. stage 3-2 is a fucking bitch. i had to redo it so many fucking times i was able to go through the whole level without getting hit once all because of the fucking asshole that blocks the cliff you have to jump on to enter in the boss's cave.

If it weren't for the ZSNES emulators "load from saved game position"option i would've never beat this game.Jaquio was an ass to beat.His first form was so damn hard,but his last form was easy as hell.

But where is the "Eye of the Tiger"?

Loved it when Ninja Gaiden came to XBoX. Taught this current generation of "gamers" that the shit was harder before auto-aim and regenerating health.

Best game ever :D

best video game review ever....EVER!!!! loved it!!!!

this episode is fucking epic. i love the montage with the ninja gaiden nintendo metal. amazing work as always avgn crew. i can watch this shit all day long.

Yesterday, I have finally finished NG1 on the NES.
What I did is use the diagonal fireball rings on all 3 final bosses. Unfortunately, that means I re-did all 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3 an insane number of times but I finally did it! What I do is, in the final stage, I get all the weapon energy up until the boss. I try to avoid using any of the special weapons until the boss. And if I die somewhere in the stage or lose too much health, I get game over on purpose to restart from the beginning of 6-3 and get the opportunity to collect everything again without getting hit too many times or dying.
At the beginning of the last section of 6-3, there is a health power-up that you can re-collect by backtracking to the last section and coming back.
About that motherfucker in 6-2, all you have to do to make it disappear is to take babysteps and leave him on the very edge of the screen until it disappears, then you jump the hole while slashing to take out the bird. (After the mofo disappears, don't stop on your way to the hole, or the bird will have enough time to hit you.)
Well, all of this is easier said than done, but after playing those 3 stages so many times, you actually become a real ninja and are able to blast through with minimal damage. Still hard as shit though. : P

this is such an awesome video! so creative and funny! you're a genius James!

@SpideySnooch: I'm fairly sure that's a Yuengling bottle, given the label, what of it we can see.

This is the first time I noticed that the ninja drank either a Japanese beer or sake. Nice touch!

out of all of James videos that he created for the angry video game nerd, i can say that this was his best and my fav one i would watch this review any time (as well as zelda 2 and the castlevania review) keep up the great work

Jeah I also thought of that, the Layout is EXACTLY the same as in Castlevania, furthermore you get upgrades and valuables out of... CANDLES!?^^

I think this episode is the best I've seen so far. Love the whole training part and stuff. Are the Ninje Gaiden games developed by the same game company as the Castlevania games?
I'm probably a noob asking this, but I noticed the game has exactly the same life bar and power ups system in as in Castlevania.

Furthermore, Shinobi on the Sega 8-bit was also an excellent game, as was The Last Ninja trilogy on the C64 :)

Thanks again for an epic episode of AVGN James :)

at least the nerd now has a montage!

The skits killed this episode for me.

I want to see game reviews, not pointless skits.

The training montage with the ninja and James is a masterpiece

I have to say this is great episode, just excellent. Every NES player in the entire world can relate to the hardness of Ninja Gaiden. AVGN in this episode is hilariously frustrated rather than just angry and Kevin Finn makes the perfect ninja. Great stuff man. :)

one of the best AVGN videos. I love the performance of Kevin Finn, just brilliant. I love the bloopers for this video too.

I'm rather surprised if you've never beat this game. I duno if your saying that just for the video or not but it is beatable. I have taken down the 1st and 2nd one with no cheats and very little assistance from glitches. These games are doable but it takes alot of time and pationce. Good luck if you ever do decide to try and beat the game again.

best episode of all, great job guys. Just awsome

Would be cool if you would publish the training montage in a seperate video. Keep up the work

This was one of my favourite episodes. The ninja guy was a great addition. I remember also making it to the end boss as a kid and never being able to beat it. Damn that game was hard!

Nun chuck fuck!!!!! lmao :D
