About this product

Product Information

"Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom" is the final game in the "Ninja Gaiden" series for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This NES title has you play as Ryu Hayabusa. In this game, Ryu has been framed by someone who looks like him and uses a replica Dragon Sword. After the murder of his friend, Ryu must clear his name and eventually uncovers a plot to destroy the Earth. This game was released in 1991 and uses the same cutscenes as earlier versions of the series. However, the cutscenes are more advanced than prior versions, displaying extra bits of action in each one. This game is similar to previous "Ninja Gaiden" games for the NES. Ryu still jumps, slashes, and climbs throughout each level, destroying all enemies in his path. "Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom" takes place across seven acts with three stages per act, for a total of 21 levels. Fight an array of unique foes, ranging from soldiers and ninjas to robots and helicopters. Unlike past games, which dealt with demons and spirits, "Ninja Gaiden III" has adversaries with a technological feel. This design applies to the levels as well, which feature high-tech gimmicks and items. These levels are still chock full of traps, including bottomless pits. In the game, you have a wealth of items at your disposal with which to dispatch enemies. These include returning favorites such as the Windmill Star and the Invincible Fire Wheel. New items also make their debut, such as the Vacuum Wave Art. This powerful weapon throws blades above and below Ryu simultaneously. Like its predecessors, this game is a challenging one to complete. Your foes are still perched in front of bottomless pits, throwing players to their doom. Many of the jumps in this game require pinpoint accuracy to land. If that wasn't enough of a challenge, your foes also have increased strength, meaning that they do more damage when they hit you. You must harness all of your ninja skills to make it through to the end of this exciting adventure."Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom" features great graphics for the time it came out. The environments are colorful and vibrant, making it easy to locate your foes. Ryu himself sports more detail than he did in previous NES "Ninja Gaiden" games. Keiji Yamagishi also returned from the first title to provide the soundtrack. As a result, this title features remixes of classic tunes from the first entry.Because this game had its release before the advent of the ESRB, the NES version of this title has no official rating. However, Tecmo originally designed the title to be suitable for all ages in 1991. "Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom" is a fantastic end to the "Ninja Gaiden" trilogy. It features challenging gameplay mixed with excellent graphics and sound. New and old fans of the franchise both enjoy this title.

  • NG 3... Why so much?

    Great Game, Great Graphics, Game controls are good, "floaty physics" not my style, but just my opinion. Based on gameplay it is great, but no better than ng2 or ng. ..I do not think prices should be marked up, because of rarity. A game's value should be biased on the game's play. I was happy to get it, but paid a little too much.

  • Ninja Gaiden III

    While the game was a good combination of the first and second titles, the cost and value should have brought it up to it's original cost. While it's popularity in an older category has become higher once again, the rareness has been exaggerated too much. I would say for it's value, I bought the least expensive for what I found. For car enthusiasts; if the engine works good, it's worth the drive. Sure, I could have downloaded a copy somewhere, but a real cart just has better definition.
