This month marks the 30th anniversary of Ninja Gaiden. It debuted in arcades sometime in October 1988 for North America. This is actually the first region for its release too even though Tecmo is a Japanese company. That said, the NES game launched first in Japan that December. Anyway the craziest thing about it is that the original Ninja Gaiden is just a straight up beat 'em up, with co-op, whereas the NES games and beyond are more like action platformers. I’m jumping the gun a little bit here. If you want to learn more watch my accompanying retrospective. Enjoy!
