Ninja Gaiden DS - One of the Greatest Handheld action games.

anyways, the graphics are amazing (considering its running on the pathetic DS hardware, so keep "GoW looks better"comments to your self)

sound tracks from Ninja Gaiden on the xbox brings back so many memories and sets the mood really good (they even have the guitar track when you enter the old dudes shop)

and controls are spot on, they are easy to handle and fun to use. i was pulling off Izuna drops 20 mins into the game.

GoW:Chains felt more like a console game to me, i couldnt get rid off the feeling off "i wouldve enjoyed this more on my big screen TV sitting back and relaxing", thats not a handheld experience. NG:ds was made especially for the DS with its features in mind, and little touches like talking in the mic to wake the sleeping guy up, drawing a icon to activate the ninpo, sketching really fast to use ultimate techniques really add to the experience.

This my favourite DS game now (.....yes even better THAN POKEMAAANZ), and reminds me of the days when nintendo wasnt trying to sell me Exercise simulators and Mini game collections instead of gems like these, but hey since Wii PLAY!! is burning up the SALEZ CHARTZ every week, and games like this fails to cover up development costs, let alone make a profit, who cares, RIGHT?? RIGHT??? i mean ITS ALL ABOUT TEH SALEZ!!!!!!

Underrated game of the year.

I really dont see how that is a problem, but ah well. Yeah, NGDS was an awesome game and probably the ONLY DS game i actually completed :P

I played it and I did not like it. it was too easy, all you do is scribble the screen.

I prefer Ninja Gaiden to God of War, but in this case, I prefer God of War: CoO to Ninja Gaiden DS.

but my all time favourite action adventure handheld game is Shinobi on GameGear. Pink Ninja FTW.

thats not a problem, but it was basically a ps2 game shrunk down for the psp. it was an amazing game....... but it wouldve been better on the ps2. while NG-DS is not a down grade version of ninjagaiden black , its a game that was built for the ds.

its for the ds......they had to make it easy, or the pokemaanz crowd wouldve soaked their pants.

play it on the harder difficulties and learn the moves instead of random scribbles, youll like it better.

I played it on harder difficulty and I still found it easy. and I fail to see how it is a game built for the DS, it is the same game as NG on Xbox. same enemies, same characters and bosses, all they did was new controls due to the DS hardware. God of War: CoO has an all new story, new enemies, new bosses. I really like the game, the only problem with it, is the length, but then again, its a handheld game.

its not the same as the xbox one. play the xbox one first. you start the game as a chick for crying out loud, how is it the same? and besides the DS audience probably never played the xbox version anyways

So far this is the most under-rated game of the year.

Yeah it's the best action game for a handheld and the graphics are simply gorgeous, I never thought the ds would be able to do that and TBH I find the boss battles better looking than the pre rendered regular levels, pre rendered levels look to fake and dont blend in very good, at least not like RE for the GC which blended in perfectly.

The only problem I have with this game is that it killed my new 3 month old DS, just too much scribbling and my touch screen looks horrible now:(

dude, I have 360 hrs on Ninja Gaiden Black on the original Xbox (sorry typo), and 72 hrs on Ninja Gaiden on Sigma. my rank on Master Ninja difficulty is 247 on Ninja Gaiden Sigma leaderboards. check it out if you dont believe me. been a while since I played it though.

Hell, I still have my Ninja Gaiden on GameGear. I'm an avid Ninja Gaiden fan.

God of War is obviously easier than NG. I expected Ninja Gaiden DS to offer the same challenges as the on one Xbox or SNES but I found it easy, thats why I was dissappointed with the game. dont get me wrong, it is a very good game, but compared to other NGs, it is not. this is just my opinion.

You just answered your own question. :lol:

it is the best looking game on the DS, and innovative controls, if Dragon sword was on PSp it would probably max out the pspPoisin

i would like to see ninja gaiden on psp, it would be pretty interesting to see how far they can push the system

So, you want a handheld game to not be like it's console counterparts, I 100% disagree. Oh, and God of iWar looks much better.white_sox

if the handheld game was trying to be like the console counterpart.....I WOULD JUST PLAY THE CONSOLE COUNTERPART....whats the point in being a handheld??

and ofcourse it looks better, its on a more powerful platform, smart one

So, you want a handheld game to not be like it's console counterparts, I 100% disagree. Oh, and God of War looks much better.white_sox

It's not about how it looks. I'm tired of PSP games being watered down console games. Why would I want to play a game that can't be played in small bursts on the go? Why would I want to play a game like GoW in tiny squnit-o-vision with inferor controls? Why not just play something like that on the PS2? It's just like the GTA PSP games. They were pretty terrible on the PSP IMHO, but were just fine on the PS2...and cheaper.

i must say i do agree that most of the enemies are pretty much a rehash of the NGXbox version such as the fire dragon(had an ice dragon), those tomb enemies with the axes and archers, those annoying cyclop alien enemies. Never the less, great game. Should have required more skill though

thank you. finally, someone that shares the same opinion as mine.

I love NGDS! the controls are awesome, the graphics are great(LOL i know its ironic) and the bosses are amazing. The only problem is its to short, there is not enough ninpo abd the story was a little "meh". PLEASE TEAM NINJA MAKE MORE DS GAMES!TAKE_IT_BACK

since you guys (hints at the mario avatar) didnt buy it and would rather keep wii play at the top10 list instead of this, team ninjas busy making stuff some where else.

Um it does have the same enemies. There were a few new bosses and a few more ranged attackers but that's about it in that department. It also kept the same theme's for the levels excluding the forest at the beginning.

So far this is the most under-rated game of the year.

Lost Odyssey?

i agree it's really good. maybe not 40 dollar good but i've got $$$ so whatever :)paullywog

Its retail price is $35.

For difficulty, they really should have just left the HARD option from the beginning (and preferably made an even harder mode). Playing it on normal is easy and seems watered down even to a Ninja Gaiden novice like me (never played any of the others). I love the intuitive controls, gameplay and graphics, but its going to get a lot of crap from gamers that like to bash the DS for having such a casual crowd.

Okay, so you complain about Nintendo fans not buying the game, then a Nintendo fan comes along that DID buy the game, so you attack him for being a casual gamer? :?
