  • Ninja Gaiden, known in Japan as Ninja Ryūkenden (忍者龍剣伝, literally "Legend of the Ninja Dragon Sword") and as Shadow Warriors in Europe, is a platform game developed and published by Tecmo—known for their later achievements such as the Tecmo Bowl series, Rygar, and the Xbox Ninja Gaiden series—for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

The title has been ported to the TurboGrafx-16 by Hudson Soft, and it was also ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super NES) as part of the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy compilation. The story follows a ninja named Ryu Hayabusa, as he journeys to America and seeks revenge for the death of his father. However, Ryu eventually finds himself involved in a sinister plot that threatens the entire world. In the game, the player must control Ryu through six platforming levels and find out the mysteries behind his father's death. Players encounter many enemies along the way that must be dispatched with Ryu's katana sword. Ninja Gaiden is renowned for its innovative use of cinematic cutscenes as well as a full, movie-like story. The game's success spawned two sequels and several ports to other video game systems. It also garnered extensive coverage in Nintendo Power magazine, and it was also novelized as part of the Worlds of Power game adaptations written by F.X. Nine.
