because he didnt have enough ninpo to perform the spinslash technique on each phase of the boss. I like how he experienced the same frustrating respawn rapeage that tormented all NG1 players

Holy crap...he actually did it? I remember being one of many people who requested this one, but I didn't expect it to happen. XD

Still, props to him for an amazing feat.

Can you imagine how sore your legs will be from playing through Ninja Gaiden alone? I would've became a paraplegic.

Honestly, I didn't even know there was an end to this game, I've never even gotten close enough to know if it was a prank or not.

Although I admire his perseverance... 8 months is A LOT of time dedicated to beat game... However amusing it may be to watch the results.

I'm not impressed at all. I beat all 3 Ninja Gaidens for the NES back when I was a kid and you don't revisit the boss and kill the boss with just one hit.

Pretty awesome.
Is it possible to play with games with both a dance pad and a regular gamepad at the same time? I wouldn't mind having to jump/stomp for certain things, just not basic movement...
