You know Ninja Gaiden as a Nintendo Entertainment System game. But did you know that there was also a Ninja Gaiden book? Released back in 1990 by Scholastic Publishing, this was a kids book that recreates the story of the NES game, with a number of age-appropriate changes. To help celebrate the upcoming release of Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, I wanted to go back through A.L. Singer’s Worlds of Power book and compare it to the 1989 video game we know and love. From killer cars to college campuses to a teenage love affair, these are the big and small differences between the Ninja Gaiden book and the Ninja Gaiden game.
