Description

Ninja Gaiden III: the Ancient Ship of Doom - Wata 9.4 CIB [Oval SOQ R], NES Tecmo 1991 USA. [Box: 9.4; Cart: 9.4; Manual: 9.6; Overall: 9.4] This concluding chapter of the Ninja Gaiden trilogy on the NES delivered everything fans loved about the first two games, while raising the stakes with fresh attack styles for Ryu, highlighted by the powerful Dragon Spirit Sword upgrade. It also marks a pivotal moment in the franchise's evolution, showcasing the series-design debut of Masato Kato, who stepped in after original creator Hideo Yoshizawa and would later become a key storyteller at Square, contributing to classics like Chrono Trigger. The awesome cover art by Runmaru, combined with this copy's excellent condition, makes the lot ideal for display.
