Episode 53

Is Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos (known as Shadow Warriors 2 in Europe) the best game in the trilogy for the NES? It has a TON of new features that improve upon the formula that made the original so successful. The biggest new addition is the ability for the hero, Ryu Hayabusa, to split himself into two or even three parts! These Phantom Doubles follow the hero around, and mimic his movements. They'll even use your magical subweapons!

Ninja Gaiden 2 returns with an even darker story than the first game. One year after the defeat of The Jaquio, a new villain, Ashtar, has risen to power. He wields the titular Dark Sword of Chaos, an evil sword fashioned from a demon's bone.

Using this twisted blade, Ashtar wishes to open the Gate of Darkness, and bring an end to all mankind. Can Ryu stop him?
