Game Description:
Ninja Gaiden is an action platformer game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Hack Description:
The hardest Ninja Gaiden hack you'll ever play.

How?

Unfair enemy spawns? No, all enemies spawn like they normally would.

Unfair enemy damage? No, all enemies deal reduced damage.

Trolls? No.

All that this hack demands is that you perform precision platforming, using the base mechanics of Ninja Gaiden - and perhaps learn some new tricks along the way.

Are you up for the challenge?

Then play Ninja Gaiden: Way of the Samurai, and prove yourself!

Changes:

-Palette swaps throughout the entire game

-Slight graphics modifications

-All enemy damage is reduced to 1 health point, however most boss damage is increased

-Level design changes, in the aim of increasing difficulty

-Health potion heals your full health bar, rather than partially healing you

-Cutscene changes

-Some Boss AI is reworked (Level 1 and Level 2 specifically, they don't stop moving to swing their weapon anymore)

-Removed the "lives system", it was reworked into a "collectible" system
