Played through Ninja Spirit today

[esteban]

Bamboo bombs just feel so good to use. The sickle-n-chain is also a treat to use. Add the "dopplegangers" (that's the Gradius terminology, I forget what IREM/TG-16 called the them) and you have a literal WALL OF DESTRUCTION at your fingertips.

I encourage you to play the Arcade Mode. It really makes you appreciate the game even more (some of the confrontations  become far more satisfying to overcome!)...

NICE!

I remember being a kid and seeing THIS in a mag



I was f*cking sold!

Congrats!

Hell yes .

Definitely one of the best Hucard games and best Ninja games on any system period.

[majors]

Agreed; solid, must have Hu for everyone!

Um...Spirits? That what I have been thinking the "shadows" were for the past 20 years.

[nodtveidt]

Yes, they're invincible spirit warriors, which is why I think it's called "Ninja Spirit".

One of my favorite too though I never was able to beat it in arcade mode

[nodtveidt]

I've cleared arcade mode once. It's worth the effort to do, as the ending is quite different.

I didn't know this.  I've never put any serious effort into Arcade Mode, but now I'm tempted to.  Thanks!

Didnt know it had a different ending, might have to give that a shot

I may have to give this a shot, although I barely made it through PC-Engine mode.
 
Right now, I'm struggling with Ninja Gaiden.  Great game, but man is it hard.

I've hardly played the PCE version yet, but of course the NES version was infamous for it's difficulty.

Haven't cleared Ninja Spirit on arcade mode, though.

These two games are not related and nothing alike except they both have "Ninja" in their names.

Speaking of ninja spirit, here is a pix of my daughter playing it on my newly LCD modded TE:)
