🎮 Play Ninja Gaiden Us Online (Arcade)

Released in 1988 by Tecmo, the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden is a side-scrolling beat ’em up that plays very differently from the famous NES platformer. Traversing across the United States to defeat an evil cult, players fight through waves of thugs and martial artists in gritty urban environments. As a classic coin-op brawler, it features two-player cooperative play and a heavy focus on acrobatic attacks.

How to Play

Your goal is to clear each screen of enemies to progress to the boss at the end of the stage. The default arcade controls in the browser are:

• Movement: Arrow keys
• Attack: Z
• Jump: X
• Coin: 5
• Start: 1

Tips

• Use the environment: You can grab onto street signs and poles. Press the jump button while hanging to perform a powerful acrobatic kick.
• Crowd control: You can grab enemies and throw them into other attackers to knock down groups safely.
• The Flying Neck Throw: Jumping toward an enemy and pressing attack often executes a devastating grapple move that deals massive damage.
