Ninja Gaiden 3 kicks off with this wild intro—you’re Ryu Hayabusa, and some CIA agent stumbles into your business. You chase her down, all dramatic, and she ends up falling off a cliff (oops). Turns out someone’s impersonating you, so now you’ve gotta bust into a sketchy facility full of killer robots to clear your name.

The first boss, this armored dude called the Mantis Warrior, throws flames at you like it’s nothing. Beat him, and some guy named Clancy shows up with cryptic advice about a place called Castle Rock Fortress. Basically, you’re in for a lot of jumping, slashing, and figuring out who’s framing you. Classic NES ninja chaos.
