    Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom is a side-scrolling platform video game developed and published by Tecmo. It was released in Japan on June 26, 1991 for the Famicom and in North America in August for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The NES version was not released in Europe.
    This was beaten as part of my quest to complete every game in my Extraordinarily Hard Games series.

    I beat 1 and 2, and I still occasionally come back to this one and attempt to beat it. But the limited continues in the US version is absurd, it's hard af.

      Yeah, I pretty much gave up on the US version ( I'm in Canada ) because of the continues limit, but then came all three games on SNES, ( Ninja Gaiden Trilogy ) not the best version, but at least they fixed up this continue limit....

    Man, I finished the original Ninja Gaiden back in the day for the NES and I'd put it up there with the top 3 or so most challenging games to finish. This one ups the ante once more!

      Great work. Yea the third game took me around 16 hours to beat with isolated save state practice to really learn sections. It has limited continues, sends you farther back and I believe you take more damage too. The first game only really had one roadblock for me and that was the middle form of the final boss. Had to really learn that with isolated state practice before I could get there and beat him without the spin attack.

    The title makes me feel better. I rented Ninja Gaiden 3 from Kroger when I was a kid, and I couldn't beat it. I was a pretty good gamer back then (for my age, which would've been 10 or younger), but I was so disappointed I couldn't get further. I hadn't played 1 or 2, so wall climbing was SUPER fun! Not many games had that mechanic back then.

    The third boss is just like the Kelberos in the first two games. Only one of them taking damage will count towards the boss life meter. The other one can't be damaged.

    That level 7 moving platform thing just looks like the track for the second platform is shorter. I'd assume you just have to wait and every other or every 3 cycles matches up. It also looks like you can farm lives there. Grant it there are still 20 minutes in the video, so maybe he figures that out.

    I remember going through my Ninja Gaiden games as a kid but other games I never did because I would get lost and get bored trying to find where to go next. I found it fun memorizing the locations of enemies and not using abilities. I would do the same thing in RPGs not using items and abilities

    I still think the original is ten times harder than 2 and 3, and 3 is the easiest of the trilogy, but I guess that's just me. 3 was also the only one I owned as a kid so I played it more than the others, which I suppose could explain why I think it's the easiest.

      @@JD-mz1rl everything moves slower, the enemies respawn way less, and lastly because it was the only one I owned as a kid so naturally I'm going to be better at it. I don't really feel like having more continues makes a game "easier," just less tedious. for example ghosts and goblins for NES has infinite continues, but it's still hard as hell to beat. hopefully that answers your question :) also... I have a no-death playthrough of NG3 on my channel if you're interested in seeing it.

      Yeah, all of these observations are true. There's also how some of the sound effects were changed. The sword slash from the first two games sounding like a vocalization, damaging a boss is the same sound as Ryu getting hit in Ninja Gaiden II... I guess that and the floaty jump mechanics are the main things. Plus the short timer in the final stages. And in the story, who in the heck is this Clancy person anyway? Why did he want to claim the power of the ruins to destroy humanity? Jacquio just wanted to awaken a demon, and then in the second game became one himself! And if Clancy was using the same power from the same dimensional rift, how was Clancy's final form more mechanical? So many questions...
