Ninja Gaiden Trilogy was a big upset for me. The graphics were too colorful, the soundtracks got killed, and it wasn't as solid..the seriousness was gone. I consider the original Ninja Gaiden to be my favorite game of all time, and to play that was really...disappointing. It reminded me of how bad things can get when you compare: rygar on nes to the arcade, as well as bionic commando to the arcade...and blaster master, on the genesis? Man. : falls over :
