Easily the best Ninja Gaiden out of the NES trilogy.
- Enemy placement is a lot better.
- On a casual playthrough, boss fights are more interesting than in the first one -where a lot of them basically consisted of spamming the attack button and tanking the damage-, this is true but for the last fight in which case NG1 has a better final boss (NG2's final boss is basically copy pasted from 1 lmao)
- The gameplay mechanics were improved and now you can climb walls -which was really awkward in the first one- plus you have the clone ninja ninpo (which is awesome btw) and controls feel more responsive.
- Found the enemy design to be more interesting.
