Inside Arcade Archives: Ninja Gaiden

What it is

Arcade Archives: Ninja Gaiden is a port of the late 80's action game Ninja Gaiden. Play as a ninja using the Five Ninja Fighting Arts passed on from the chaotic times of feudal Japan, as you take out an assassin organization through the horrifying stage "Jungle," an American city. Perform a Phoenix Backflip off of obstacles or walls to land behind enemies and then defeat them with a Triple Blow Combination or Flying Neck Throw!
