Thanks to an Arcade Archives release, the original Ninja Gaiden from way back in 1989 is releasing on PS4 tomorrow for $7.99. You'll be able to adjust the experience in order to emulate the atmosphere of arcade display settings at the time and change various settings such as difficulty.
Probably the coolest aspect of this release though is the ability to head online and compete with other players for the high score as protagonist Ryu Hayabusa. "Play as a ninja using the Five Ninja Fighting Arts passed on from the chaotic times of feudal Japan, as you take out an assassin organization through the horrifying stage “Jungle,” an American city."
Are you ready to wield the blade and create bloodshed? Throw a shuriken in the comments below.

@parvaz1 That's a pretty good shout actually.
Cool, I remember playing this on arcade back then, along with double dragon and final fight
This was called Shadow Warriors on the Amiga, thoroughly enjoyed it back then. Will need to check it out.
Bring it on! Time for some wall jumping and pole swinging!
Sweet. I always preferred this game over the NES version.
@Tasuki i think i only ever played nes version, what is difference?
@TheIronChimp. Noticed the Hamster twitter account is as silent about it too. Then again the developer of Shakedown Hawaii was on twitter about having no idea why Playstation EU failed to release it when US psn,Switch EU/US & PC managed it!
And then there's Battle Princess Madelyn that came out on PC, Xbone, Switch worldwide & U.S./Japan psn late december 2018...
Casual Bit Games still can't give an answer on a EU/AU psn release!!
Not too many articles about Arcade Archives on this site. It’s kinda nice.
@ellsworth004 The Arcade game is more of a beat 'em up like Double Dragon, Final Fight Streets of Rage etc. where as the NES version has more platforming sections and such like SMB, Mega Man, Castlevania etc.
There's a video explain the difference

@Tasuki what i remember about it on nes was that it was very hard
@ellsworth004 Right that was what made it famous.
@Tasuki i cant remember if it was unfair hard or what, but i do remember birds hitting me while trying to jump, hate them birds!
My childhood corner store had this and some Superman cabinet I've never seen since, the countdown sequence to put in another quarter is seared into my memory.
@playstation1995 I did the same but in the Bronx. Aliens the arcade game, teenage mutant Ninja turtles, final fight, Ghouls n ghosts, Altered beast, Rtype, Shinobi, Raiden, word everything!
