Sunday Longplay - Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom (NES)
13This week on Sunday Longplay, it's time to finish up an infamously-difficult trilogy on the NES with Ninja Gaiden 3: The Ancient Ship of Doom! The American NES version was actually made much harder than the Japanese Famicom version, with only 5 continues instead of unlimited like in the first two games, and enemies dealing much more damage. The Japanese version also had a password system that the American version did away with.
This game is actually an interquel, taking places after the events of Ninja Gaiden 1, but before the events of Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos. After stopping the resurrected demon at the end of the first game, a Ryu Hayabusa look-alike confronts Irene and sends her falling off a cliff into the water, presumably killing her. The real Ryu vows to get to the bottom of the case and clear his name. When he reaches the lab that Irene was investigating before his doppelganger killing her, he runs into a man named Clancy who directs him to the Castle Rock Fortress to learn the truth. Along the way, he runs into his nemesis from the ending cutscene of Ninja Gaiden 1 who ordered his death over Irene's comm device, CIA Director Foster. Upon finally arriving at Castle Rock Fortress, Ryu learns from Clancy about project "Biohazard" that Foster had been working on to use life energy from the ruins of Castle Rock Fortress to create creatures called Bio-Noids, super humans transformed by life energy. Before Ryu can confront Foster and his own bio-noid clone, Irene resurfaces, very much alive. After fighting his clone, Ryu learns that Clancy had just used both Ryu and Irene to reclaim the ruins of the fortress. Ryu chases Clancy into the subspace dimension created by the resurrected demon from the first game and fights his clone again, now even more mutated by the life energy. After vanquishing his clone again, Ryu confronts Clancy again, himself mutated by the energy, as he learns the ruins of the fortress are actually a dimensional warship that Clancy intends to use to wipe out mankind and start fresh. Ryu traverses the titular ancient ship of doom and engages Clancy, now completely absorbed by life energy, for the final time to save mankind from complete annihilation.
