Whats Ninja gaiden arcade like?
You know, I never played it; I don't know!
All I can tell you is: It's NOT like the NES ones; it's more like a brawler than anything else. I think it's supposed to be pretty good!
Good waffics?
^ VERY different from the NES!
i tried ninja gaiden arcade a few times but it was very difficult and i would lose quickly so that made the game bad in my opinion back then as i had to make whatever little change i had last me a while.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
Damn that looks familiar to me.
Ninja Gaiden at the arcades was awesome, definitely a sidescrolling brawler with 8 way movement and some nifty tricks such as the ability of hanging off lamp posts and shit. Camera kept scrolling slowly, which added to the sense of urgency that the draconian time counter had. I don't even remember getting beyond the second stage, after beating the fat dude.
It was, however, unforgivingly difficult.

All this is very true. Tough as nails. Plus it was a really messed up "Continue ?" screen after you died. The ninja guy was strapped to a table with a circular saw slowly being lowed toward his chest and the ninja looks like he's about to shit a brick. If you insert another quarter he escapes. If not blood splatters on the screen once the saw hits his chest and you can't quite see what happens to him.
