It’s Tomonobu Itagaki’s swan song at Tecmo, and maybe the last game in a series that goes back over 20 years. And in my mind, possibly the most loved ninja franchise to ever be created. It’s “Ninja Gaiden II,” and these first ‘120 Seconds’ is just the beginning of the battle.

The “Ninja Gaiden” games have traditionally been ridiculously hard; “Ninja Gaiden II” is no different. It’s no-holds-barred from the very beginning.

After watching the first two minutes of gameplay, do you think you can master the ways of the ninja?
