Ninja Gaiden — About this game
Ninja Gaiden on Game Gear follows Ryu through a timed side-view action journey. Learn the sword’s reach before closing with an enemy and look at the next landing before jumping. Wall movement gives another way through a difficult area, but it still needs careful timing. Ninjutsu adds an attack option at the cost of force, so pay attention to the item you carry and the energy it uses. Picking up another ninjutsu item replaces the current one. Break the magical spheres for supplies while keeping enough space to respond to nearby enemies.
