HAHAHA!

Yeah Ninja Spirit is a brilliant ninja game like no other. The variety of weaposn and the cool add-on features, along with huge boss fights, makes this one well designed game!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

There's one part in this game that should make the "Top 100 Anger Inducing Moments In Video Game History".

The end of the final stage when you jump down that pit through ninjas and you're at the last boss. The way the ninjas are positioned are almost random every time.

Yeah, that's actually the level I think of every single time someone mentions that game.  I remember playing through that for the first time.  I hated it.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

The only thing I didn't like about Ninja Spirit is that it was packed with the Duo and I bought it about a year earlier.
I'm not cool

That part pissed me off so much the first time I played it, but there is a trick! Simply check out this issue of TurboPlay from Steve's wonderful site and read pages 16-23 for  strategy throughout the game and towards the end will give you a full view of the path you need to take without getting hit. It takes some tries to get used to the alignment, but you'll get the hang of it (this is making me want to play Ninja Spirit now). Steve's TurboPlay Magazine Archives site helped me beat games like Bloody Wolf and Ninja Spirit; Thanks TurboPlay Archives!

I have fond memories of beating Ninja Spirit for the first time on a family road trip from NC to Cleveland, OH. I was at that very pit stage for the longest time, and I finally passed it as we pulled into our destination. I didn't even talk to relatives until I finished the game.  (they were kinda cheezed at that too, but I was young)

Great game, one of my all time favs.

You know, another really underrated game is Keith Courage. If you completely and totally ignore the crappy cutsey-world stages, the game is a lot of fun. Good graphics, good gameplay, and just fun. If it wasn't for the crappy cutesy-world stages, that is. (Oh how I despise those stages)

I was always hoping for a sequel...

That's the funny part right there :lol:

Go through all the trouble to pass the pit, and you fight the (final boss) wich is easy i might add then.. it ends wtf :P

Yeah, Ninja Spirit is loved here :)

Now, KC, on the other hand is split between folks who hate it and folks who feel it is under-appreciated. I think KC was a decent start, and a sequel, done right, could have been killer if they made the overworld like Dragon's Curse and added variety to the underworld stages. I'm thinking of a gameplay formula similar to Blaster Master, in which you do some genuine exploring, but you have some good old action sequences as well.

Well after all, Keith Courage was stripped of its anime roots in Japan, which is usually stereotyped of being cutesy.

Like most unsequeled-but-expecting-a-sequel games for the TG, I started to write a sequel of my own to KC..but also like most of them, I never had a chance to finish it. :shock:
