Throwback Thursday - Ninja Gaiden Gameplay

The original NES features some of the first cutscenes in a video game and walljumping.

It's Throwback Thursday and we're serving up another retro gameplay clip. Very high difficulty, wall-jumping and ninja powers were already the selling points of Ryu Hayabusa's very first adventure for the NES in 1989. We play and die through the first levels to the rhythm of some great chiptunes, and learn about the story thanks to some of the first cutscenes on a console videogame.
