| Description |
This game has been out for over 30 years, but most people have never
passed it. Why? Because it's so damn hard that most people never want to leave their NES on for the weeks it will end up taking to pass it. Plus, you only get one chance to fight Malth with full health; if you die, well, screw you. You can either start the entire game over, or you can try to beat him with less than full health, which is essentially impossible to do. This patch fixes everything, keeping that game still very challenging, but finally fun to play.
Patch Features:
* Select any stage to start on that you normally would be able to continue on after dying. Simply press Left or Right at the static title screen (the one that is shown after pressing Start once) to select the stage to start on. The starting stage is clearly displayed below PUSH START.
* Select any stage to start on, including ones that you normally could not start on, in other words, the boss stages. Simply hold Select while you press left or right at the static title screen to select the stage to start on.
* Cut scenes that normally are shown before a stage are shown if that stage is chosen as the starting stage. For those who really want to cheat, all cut scenes except the ending can be shown this way by selecting the appropriate stage. Since this wasn't the intent of this feature, the final scene cannot be selected this way; you still have to beat the final boss.
* The ability to make the game not screw you over when you die while fighting one of the forms of the final boss. Normally, if Ryu dies while fighting any form of the final boss, the game forces the player to return to stage 6-1! 6-1 isn't that bad, but 6-2 is HELL, and not something you want to have to play over and over. With the patch, when the game is started normally by pressing Start, dying while fighting any form of the final boss will still send Ryu back to 6-1. But, if you don't wan't to be screwed over and would rather return to 6-3, simply hold down Select while pressing Start at the title screen to start the game.
*A number of grammar and punctuation fixes were added. Probably the most noticeable are changing "SHINOBI" to "Shinobi" and "Ninja Dragon" to "Dragon Ninja". The rest are things like changing some "the"s to "a"s, fixing capitalization, changing "." to ",", etc. This game has such a great script. Great grammar keeps the reader from getting distracted. |
