Ah yes! Ninja Gaiden! Now that NES game is the awesomeness as most people with a brain would know. Little do people outside of the *cough* PCEngineFX forums *cough* know that there is an alternate version of the game released for the PC Engine console. Is that version worth getting? Lets find out.

NES version

+ Affordable
+ Much better music
+ Great controls
+ One of the most badass cover arts ever.
- Chances are you will find a used cart with somebody's name written on it.

PCE version

+ Better graphics in the cutscenes
+ You can play it in English via a code.
- The music is different and is inferior in every way
- Controls aren't as tight as the NES original
- Worse cover art
- Pointlessly choppy paralax scrolling
- Expensive. $60 expensive.

Verdict: The NES version by MILES. If you PCE fanboys want ninja action, get Ninja Spirit instead.

I wasn't even aware there was a PC-E version...

Here you go. It is called "Ninja Ryukenden" in Japan.

The SMS version is moot since the game isn't anything like the NES and PC Engine versions.

And second best, Lynx version:

NG SMS is actually a great game believe it or not.

[tomaitheous]

NG SMS is actually a great game believe it or not.

It's OK. Actually, it's pretty decent. I've played through it and it's doesn't compare to the NES versions. The graphics are nice, but the music is ear splitting (like most SMS music) and game/level design is only average compared to the NES ones. It is better than the arcade and GG versions, though.

I have find that Marble Madness is better on the Nintendo Entertainment System than the Sega Master System version of Marble Madness…
and personally, I find Space Harrier to be far better on the Turbo Grafx-16 while the Sega Master System version is lacking…
otherwise, Sega Master System is a console of wonderful and is being very underrate and underappreciated…

To let people know which version of the same game is superior?

[tom]

I like 'em, I also like NG on NES...but the NES was such a sucky system. you Yanks been had....

[Nintega Grafx-16]

but the NES was such a sucky system. you Yanks been had....

ROFL

More like you Europeans had been had. Yes SMS is a good system but the NES despite its inferior hardware specs had much better games.

[CreativeOnlineSurname]

The music was questionable, the parallax scrolling was terrible, the Engrish translation was worse than normal, but all in all I don't regret giving the PC-Engine version a playthrough. The NES version is leaps and bounds ahead of it, though!

True. You can't play Megaman 2 on a SMS.

[jperryss]

I picked up the PCE version awhile back, haven't played through it yet, it's on my list.

I did play it for a few minutes when I first got it, and the 'parallax' scrolling is REALLY annoying. I think Ys 3 for the SNES has a similar effect.

I figured you were just trying to break some kind of record.

[PC-ENGINE HELL]

I did a couple of videos a long while back basically running through the exact same spots on both the Pc-Engine and Nes releases. Basically I edited both videos to match up as close as I could the story scenes and stages incase someone wanted to compare them.

Cant blame you when you are being pointlessly attacked. :mad:
As far as your comparisons go you are spot on. The Nes version is very good.:-P

You obviously haven't seen most of his insulting others for no reason, trolling/baiting, or spamming posts eh? Pointlessly attacked lol :above me:

[Peonpiate]

Correct I havnt.

[Nintega Grafx-16]

You obviously haven't seen most of his insulting, trooling/baiting posts, or topics eh? Pointlessly attacked lol :above me:

Of course YOU show up. :grumble:

Oh noes! I said Ghouls 'N Ghosts is better on Genesis than SGX. Are you going to cry now?

You couldn't more obviously be an alt of Nintega. Fuck off, dude. But if you're not, I'll tell you why he's a jackass.

1. He was banned from PCEFX for making racist and Sexist remarks.
2. He admitted to dressing in drag. (total flamer)
3. He joined PCEFX again under several accounts, banned for the same stuff.
4. Because he was banned, he made a rant on Youtube rallying people against PCEFX.
5. He stole others videos on Youtube and claimed them as his own.
6. HE POSTS TOO FUCKING MUCH.
7. He spammed up the feedback forum and ruined the feedback of Nectarsis and PC-ENGINE HELL.
8. He edits his posts to make it look like people were just fucking with him.

There you go. Now you see.

[Ryaan1234]

Correct I havnt.
Here ya go:


LOL

Don't tell me you guys are complaining about WD's localization. Since when the Wapanese Naruto cosplayers invaded this forum eh?

http://th01.deviantart.com/fs30/300W/i/2008/125/7/d/The_Worst_Naruto_Cosplay_ever_by_GalaxeonLittleCom et.jpg

Just so you get the context right, this is from the Lunar comparision thread, and a member (who may I mention just joined Digital Press) made a simple comment about the localization of the game, and somehow Mr. Grafx here just pipes in with this. How can you not see that it's trolling?

[nectarsis]

LOL did you see WHO Ninny was responding to?? Also humorous he's coincidentally posting in mostly Ninny threads. ;)

[tomaitheous]

7. He spammed up the feedback forum and ruined the feedback of Nectarsis and PC-ENGINE HELL.

What, on this forum? What's this feedback thing?

[PC-ENGINE HELL]

What, on this forum? What's this feedback thing?
First he jumped on Nectarsis feedback thread, saying Byron ran some 1941 Supergrafx scam ripping off a guy on pcefx. After he did that for a bit, he moved onto my feedback thread doing similar, saying I sold him some broken PS2 game. The moderator Berserker fixed our feedback, and took all the bs out and combined it into one mega thread of fun (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144487).

I have to disagree, Tom.

As you know, we (Dom and I) have the SMS version as well as all the NES versions, and the NES games are better by a long shot. The SMS was great, and is still is, but it just does not compare to the NES games.

And the SMS version is just WAAAAY to easy.

BTW, say Hello to Rose and cat for me!

it's the internet jackhole theory in action
he doesn't have to deal with the consequences of his actions, so he just does whatever his 7 year old mind wants to.

What is that you say...Ninny using alt accounts?!?!?! The hell you say :whip: lol

[tomaitheous]

Hahaha, I wasn't expecting a pic like that :) Thanks for the laugh (seriously, you're goofily unpredictable at times).

But... why am I a troll??? I joined these forums way before you. I didn't join to troll anybody. Please posted a valid explanation as to why I am a troll (you might want to look up the recent definition in the context of the internet, first. And just to avoid confusing, I don't look like any of those in that pic). Thank you.

And picking their side? I'm just stating facts. If nectaris ripped off anybody on PCFX, I would have definitely heard about this. They (PCFX) don't put up with that kinda of shit. And all logic points to Mike not selling YOU anything. He knows your address, he's sure as hell not going to send you anything. Not to mention Mike's selling reputation (all positive from what I've seen and read). You have a reputation too, of lying and making stuff up. I'm sorry, but those were your past actions, nobody else's. You're responsible for your own.

What else am I supposed to think when I see you doing the same thing here, that you've done in other places on the net? Honestly.

But who would want Ninny back? We're trying to get rid of him here! As for that little butt-fucker Bibleteen, I think he's retarded or something. He sure sounds it. He was so mesmerized that his parents got him his boxed Famicom for $200 (I payed 100$ shipped for an av modded Fami and FDS) he made like, a 20 part review on it. I watched 60 seconds before I turned it off.

Please no cursing. I'm offended by that.

[thom_m]

Please, people, stop messing with this guy. You can tell by his attitude and choice of words that he's definitely a tough mofo, and I'm deeply afraid of what might happen to all of us.

[JimmyDean]

Ninny, remember all the times on PCEFX when you practically groveled on your knees begging for forgiveness? (for being such a douchebag) Here's a quote I found-

"Mike I know you would not believe me but I can prove to everyone here that I can act my age. I will admit that I busted everyone's chops because I thought it was funny but now I can see how much I angered everyone. I am very sorry for everything man especially when I talked ill of your kid. Now let's forget of all what happened in the past and talk about video games. If you will see that I will not be the "same old Nintega" promise me that you will get rid of my video you posted and that embarrassing picture on chit-chat?"

I can post more... Leave the site and I won't embarrass you more.

There you go. Now you see.

1- Racism is bad of course.
2- Same as above. Nothing wrong with dressing in drag. To list that as a negative marks you as a bigot.

[PC-ENGINE HELL]

2- Same as above. Nothing wrong with dressing in drag.
Unless the results of said transformation = really really fucking ugly (guys into tranny porn prob don't mind), or the persons attempts at being said drag queen are for questionable reasons. No one likes a faker with no convictions regarding any matter.

anyway, i've always enjoyed these kind of comparison threads, too bad nintega is trolling in it. why hasn't he been banned yet? i think people have been banned for less before.

I think the whole lot of you should be banned for dragging your drama over here to Digital Press.

Let me know how the ban warning for spreading lies in peoples feedback/sales threads is going. People wonder why there's some of us that have issues with you. Hardly just stuff "coming from other sites", you're trolling here.

I think you need to buy a new calender, Jimmy. You probably forgot to take down the 1937 one. Do you also find a problem with minorities? Its twenty-fucking-ten. Derp.

The key to tolerance is to be intolerant of the intolerant. I know its ironic. That comment of yours shows that your a person who has troubles understanding people and how everyone deserves the same respect and admiration for who they are. Unless they are criminals... or Hitler...

Judge a person based on who they are, not the way that they are made.

[Ed Oscuro]
