Runtime: 55 Minutes
Rob and Dave take a look back at one of the hardest games in the NES era in 1989's Ninja Gaiden. We talk about playing it in the modern era, and its punishing difficulty. Dave gives a lesson on historical depictions of ninjas, and compares them to their video game and movie counterparts. They look back at some reviews on the game, before wrapping up by answering the question, "If you could have one power from any video game character, which would it be and why?" Join us for a ninja-filled trip down Memory Card Lane.
