NES Classics adds Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom

gamingSep 1, 202613396

With Nintendo Switch Online adding Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom to the NES Classics lineup, fans are celebrating that the full Ninja Gaiden trilogy is now playable in one place and planning trilogy playthroughs. Posts center on Ninja Gaiden III’s notoriously stingy continue settings, with several players passing around the 99 continues code as a practical tip and some griping that the US release kept limited continues. Conversations also riff on adjacent additions, like IKARI WARRIORS and R.C. PRO-AM 2, with one running joke imagining Rare making a retro-style R.C. Pro-Am 3 for fun.

R.C. Pro-Am 2 was great back in the day with the NES multitap. Lots of game nights with that one!

Be sure to use the 99 continues code if you play Ninja Gaiden 3, because only 3 continues by default to beat a game that challenging was a comically cruel decision lol

The true comically cruel decision, was retroactively adding the same limited three continues to Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 for that Super NES remake.

In a better world, Rare would just screw around and make a retro-style R.C. Pro-Am 3, just for funsies.

Ninja Gaiden 3 took friggin' long enough. Gonna plan on a full playthrough of the NES Trilogy at some point. Possibly start on the 3D series at some point after. Definitely gonna play through Ragebound to cap the 2D side off.

This is proof that all the people saying they should bring back virtual console do not actually want them to do that. Because you can already buy Ninja Gaiden III on the Switch eshop, but nobody wants to pay 8 dollars for a game they might not like, when they could just try it basically for free
