Dynamic action scenes! Split your body into three, destroy all enemies with the Invincible Fire Wheel and other new Ninja fighting techniques! Ninja Gaiden II gives you the feel of real Ninjutsu! Exciting cinema display format! Ninja Gaiden II uses the same Cinema Display Format as the original. The fiendish plot unfolds in a movie-like sequence. Action, drama, revenge. Just wait till you get to the end!
As with the previous Ninja Gaiden game, the player controls Ryu Hayabusa through a series of platforming levels called “Acts”. Players have the ability to jump and latch on and off walls and ladders. Two new abilities that Ryu can do in Ninja Gaiden II are climbing up and down walls and attacking with “Power Boosting Items” while on walls and ladders. Ryu has a strength meter on top of the screen that decreases whenever he takes damage from enemies.
