Despite some initial technical difficulties with the video stream, Kotaku has posted the first U.S. episode of Game Center CX/Retro Game Master — well, it’s actually the ninth episode from the Japanese show’s fourth season, but no matter, it’s subtitled and released!
I didn’t see if the video includes some of the show’s tangential bits (the Japanese airing included a trip to an arcade in Ebisu), but I can see why Kotaku would cut those scenes, as they don’t relate to Arino’s game challenge, which this time is beating Ninja Gaiden.
Anyway, you can stream the episode for free here so long as you’re in U.S. Sorry, Europe/Canada. :o(

Ninja Gaiden 2 comic panels from Nintendo Power’s strategy guide (possibly drawn by Katsuya Terada?). Tecmo was making people say “Unngh” years before Master P stormed basketball courts atop a gold tank.
You can flip through pages from the issue/guide in this video!

Finally, a Ninja Gaiden game in which I’ll (probably) be able to make it past the first few levels! This SMBC 1.1 update isn’t out yet, but if its development is far along enough to produce a trailer like this, I expect it will release soon.
Other NES heroes I want to see in this flash game: Little Nemo, Arthur (Ghosts N’ Goblins), Bionic Commando (how would this even work?), Golgo 13, Yo! Noid, and Vic Viper.

CES flyer for Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos, scanned by Frank Cifaldi for a great Retronauts flyer roundup.
This flyer features the awesome “just take a picture of the screen” technology used before GameFan came along and made SCREENSHOT HISTORY.
I love this flyer for obvious reasons.

Ninja Gaiden motivational poster by 9000.
Really, there’s no way we couldn’t feature this painting, what with this being (kind of like) our footer and all. And of course, we also must admire Levi “Doctor Octoroc” Buffum’s bead recreation of the same scene:

Ninja Gaiden stage 1-1 papercraft. I love these diorama-type papercrafts, and the Tiny Cartridge staff adores Ninja Gaiden, as you may have surmised.
