The wind technically being Order 66 is very appropriate for anyone who has played this game.

I could see whole episode based on how different developers handled the act of 'Jumping' in different games. Really interesting how they apply math to each games gravity.

Bad day suddenly has very technical yet highly entertaining ray of hope.

I love these technical videos. By the way, if anybody is interested, Arcus has been running Ninja Gaiden II on Twitch lately.

Nintendo Power made this game look like such a dramatic, inspired epic quest before I ever finally got a chance to play it, years later. It's a treat to get to see a video like this that discusses its technical details!

The biggest difference for me was always a subtle one: The hurt box on Ryu's sword feels smaller.

I'm not familiar with the Ninja Gaiden games and I was watching this video at 480p (30fps). You kept talking about clones and I'm thinking "What? There's only one. And it looks glitchy as hell". Well I switched to 720p (60fps) on a whim and holy hell what a difference! I've have never seen a more stark example of why framerate matters in footage of old games.

We must pay tribute to those programmers who breathed life into these static pixels
