After firing up this game, one can only wonder why Tecmo chose not to do Gaiden in a 16-bit format. At least for now, Ryu wannabes can revive some ninja-fighting skills and take heart in rampant rumors of a Ninja Gaiden for the next-generation systems.

This isn't a cart to push the Super NES though. It's about having three of the best NES games ever made in one place. Aside from the soundtrack issues, it's an excellent set and convenience at its best.

Okay, the classic NES game of Ninja Gaiden does bring back some fun memories, but I really wish they had reworked the game rather than a straight port. Unlike the Mega Man series, the game seems virtually unchanged in both graphics and sound. If you're into nostalgia, this will be a fun game, but otherwise, it is a little weak for today's games. Still, fans of the series can't deny the addictive nature and the pure value of three games for the price of one.
