NES Longplay Ninja Gaiden 3 III The Ancient Ship of Doom
6A playthrough of Tecmo’s 1991 action platformer for the NES, Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom.
This video shows the complete run through all seven acts of the game:
0:00 Act 1 – Shadow of Darkness
4:17 Act 2 – Pursuit in the Skies
8:00 Act 3 – Fortress of the Enemy
12:12 Act 4 – Laboratory of Evil
16:35 Act 5 – Descent into Danger
23:07 Act 6 – The Ship of Doom
28:35 Act 7 – Final Confrontation with Clancy
The third and final entry in the legendary NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy follows Ryu Hayabusa as he’s framed for murder and drawn into a sinister conspiracy involving biological weapons and a mysterious floating warship. Using his unmatched ninja skills, Ryu must battle through hordes of enemies, navigate deadly traps, and uncover the truth before it’s too late.
The Ancient Ship of Doom retains the fast-paced action-platforming of its predecessors but introduces sharper graphics, more varied stage designs, and new hazards like wind currents and collapsing platforms. Ryu’s signature wall-climbing and swordplay are joined by a set of powerful ninja arts, including fire wheels, shurikens, and the deadly dragon sword slash.
Unlike the first two games, the NES version of Ninja Gaiden III was made more challenging for North America—players take more damage from hits, have fewer continues, and face more aggressive enemies. Every jump and strike must be timed perfectly, making the final acts especially punishing.
Praised for its cinematic cutscenes, tight controls, and challenging gameplay, Ninja Gaiden III remains a must-play for fans of retro action games and a fitting finale to one of the NES’s most iconic trilogies.
No cheats were used during the recording of this video, nor is this intended to be a speedrun of any sort.
