Retro Game Spotlight of the Week: Ninja Gaiden

A truly classic game renowned for its difficulty. Ninja Gaiden featured many interesting design concepts that made it stand out for its time. Among of which were its “cutscenes” telling the story of Ryu, as he pursues the one responsible for killing his father. A lot of older gamers joke about how they must have been better players as kids, and there is some truth to that, but not because we are older or slower. These games took serious skill and practice to conquer, and Ninja Gaiden is definitely up on that list!
