ninja gaiden for Mega Drive/Genesis

http://www.classicgaming.com/ninjagaiden/ng-gen.html

what is the story behind it? Is it a prototype or import? Thx!

 

Import. It's low profile due to it being a port of the arcade flop. I presume Tecmo titled the game "Ninja Gaiden" (only the North American title for the series) to differentiate between the "American" arcade series and the good parallel Ninja Ryukenden series.

 

I'm not convinced this game was released.

At least i remember the rom being labelled a beta, couldve been more rom versions, not sure.

 

if it is real, does anymore have a pic of the cart/cover? thx

This place has it for sale. I don't believe I've ever seen the box.

Another few things mention it. I *THINK* it was released, but you guys have got me questioning that. All I know is that I've played it ;-)

Some Japanese MD lists list it, most don't. Most searches only turn up matches for the Game Gear version.

 

The book that I have, "Sega Consumer History" has a Japanese release list, but no mention of Ninja Gaiden around 1992. It could be an incomplete list but...

 

I honestly didn't know it was a flop at the arcades. whoosh! I used to love that game

 

I honestly know nothing about it's earnings but I know that Tecmo rather disowns it, for good reason.

 

The game is unreleased as far as I know. There are many Japanese sites that list stuff for sale even though the game was never released.

So do I (in rom form ) Is yours an original? Any chance of a picture of the box and cart?

no only have the cart but I think is hack because the case is from shinobi 2
I got that game from ebay in the year 2001

 

I remember the guy say he chage the case because does not fit in u.s genesis

 

anyone play the Tetris 'bootleg' for megadrive? used to have it - based on arcade Tetris but which? anyone know the story behind this unreleased game?

 

I remember in ebay the have bootleg super mario for genesis

 

I can probably get a hacked kof 98 for megadrive (its mugen style thing). and much mor special but very hard to locate (around here anyway - and bootlegs are everywhere) is megaman x3 for megadrive - quite faithfully reproduced.

 

my friend used to have it hack Donkey Kong 99 for genesis

 

I have a question I think the is bootleg tekken for genesis or super nintendo or nintendo

 

there is. it's not too dificult to find around here.

 

about the tetris, I thought there was a real Sega Tetris, but like the Tengen Tetris NES, it was unlicensed and later discontinued?

Is anyone willing to sell their ninja gaiden cart? THX
