It was fairly common to make console versions of arcade games different back then but I agree it's annoying. There are five completely different games called Ninja Gaiden, six if you count the MD prototype. It's a bit ridiculous.Quote:

Yeah, I know (now) it was common, although they were usually more similar (like Bionic Commando and Strider were still the same perspective and genre). And it was the first time I personally experienced it and it was really frustrating for me.
Yeah, NES NG was incredible at the time. I just don't think the arcade game looks that shallow compared to it.
While we're off topic here, no game disappointed me more than Wrath of the Black Manta. WTF was with that?
Wrath was mediocre. Luckily I had read reviews of it ahead of time and rented it instead of buying it.
I bought it from TRU for like 39.99, popped it in, got pumped from the intro and them proceeded to cuss my little 12 year old mouth off at how rigid the game was.
I have never seen it played that way. :eep:Quote:

I loved the heck out of arcade Ninja Gaiden back in the day, wasted like 4 bucks in 80s kid money to finish it with my friend, but I'm pretty sure Final Fight was officially declared Best 80s Beat 'Em Up by the United Nations Council on Bestness.Quote:
