Ninja Gaiden Now Available On The Wii U Virtual Console
Ryu Hayabusa's original adventure is now available to download on the Wii U's Virtual Console.
Ninja Gaiden was featured recently as a Super Replay. Jeff Marchiafava won the opportunity to play through the brutal NES classic as part of Super Replay Showdown. If you'd rather watch someone else play the game, as opposed to play it yourself on the Wii U, head here, or check out the video below.
Thanks to Clint for the news tip!
Our Take
The Wii U's Virtual Console titles are still trickling out slower than I'd like, but I write these stories often enough where it's getting to a point where soon I will have no room to complain anymore – almost. For more of my Virtual Console thoughts and its missed opportunities, head here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
