Yep. Hard as *beep* nails, and beautiful at the same time. The sequel improved the gameplay perfectly, but as a complete package it can't beat this classic masterpiece of gaming.
To all those who hate it, I suggest giving it another chance. Take time to learn the combos and special moves. Appreciate the amazing graphical quality and CG for the time that it came out. And beat the game, at the very least. That is all.
This has been my favorite game since it was on Super NES. - They wern't as hard, but I love storyline games and NG can be credited for starting off good storyline video games. - Only think is that I have both NG and NG Black for XBOX 360. - What's mess up is that you can unlock these NES classics on the the XBOX versions, but they won't play on the 360. - On NG Black - you can unlock the Arcade version and it works on the 360, but the Arcade version sucks and is harder than the 360 version.
But one thing I have never seen or heard any one claim - Is that they beat all the missions.
NG doesn't have them, but NG Black and NG Sigma for PS3 - Have the Missions and they are hard as hell!
If someone has beat them - they need to post it on youtube or something - because it has to be an amazing feat. - I honestly don't think Tecmo designed it to be beaten.
