ProtonJonSA plays Ninja Gaiden for Master System - Chapter 3

No, I am not going to make that joke again. Eat me.

Yet another typo at the beginning of the opening cutscene. Beautiful.

Wow, you're actually in the Japanese countryside this time around. There are men in black that look like the referee in Samurai Shodown, temple priests and bushido-practicing swordsmen...and they all want to kill you!

In the second screen, there are ninjas hiding behind the pillars on the top path that hide and throw rocks at you. You can only see their arms when they throw stuff at you, which is actually pretty peculiar for a Ninja Gaiden game.

When you supposedly reach a dead end, leap onto the wall and leap upwards. You'll climb a roof and then end up in a forest, run thorugh a deserted, trashed-up temple, run through more forest, and run through a well-kempt temple full of spikes.
0:15 - Sameman. It's like they couldn't even decide between "samurai" and "same man," so they combined both words and made this. Then they keep changing his name from "the Tsutenkaku samurai" to "Tsutenkaku." Make up your minds!
1:25 - That guy is hiding behind a pillar. That guy is hiding behind a pillar! Holy crap, this game actually has one good enemy! Score!

1:56 - Okay, maybe I spoke too soon this time. The black ninjas we saw can camouflage themselves on certain walls. How I'm supposed to see that guy is beyond me.

3:02 - Ryu Hayabusa can do the duck walk in this game!
4:34 - Now that's just disorienting.

4:49 - If Tsutenkaku is such a legendary samurai, why does his attack pattern suck? All you have to do is hit him with distance weapons, assuming you have a lot of ninjitsu. Otherwise, just stand two tiles away from him and run away, then run towards him, hit him, run back, run towards him, hit him, run back, bounce off wall over him when necessary, rinse, lather, repeat.
5:34 - The closing cutscene for Chapter 3.
