Of the three original continuities (Arcade, NES, Master System) which one:
Has the best (or your favorite) gameplay?
Has the best story?
Has the best music?
Has the best enemies?
Has the worst fucking birds?
Is the best over all?
If there happens not to be enough to talk about here we can also discuss other 2D ninja games too.
Important reminder: A little blond boy in a bright orange parka is NOT a fucking Ninja.

Ninja Gaiden on the PCE
This nigga gave a good analysis of the first Ninja Gaiden's bosses:

These obviously aren't the most complex bosses in the world, but they do a lot with a little and they're fairly challenging and dynamic. They each use their own movement (because they have contact damage) as a way to get you to change your positioning, and for all of them, you need to get close to them to damage them, putting you also closer to harm, which you need to react to. There's something to learn from them that modern bosses don't usually have.
input a down + a when you have the whirlwind slash
Remember when Ninja Gaiden just straight up ripped of Black Sabbath who probably in turn ripped off King Crimson?
MD Ninja Gaiden NEVER EVER.
Wasn't it basically completely done too?
(OP)
NES, didn't played SMS and the Arcade version doesn't have cinematics.
After numerous runs I still thing the NES games had better gameplay than the arcades.
Seriously?
Anyway, Ninja Gaiden II had the best music and best gameplay because of the Ninja spirits.
Great general experience, the cinematic tension was perfect, story cliched as hell as a good 80's movie and it's actually less hard than the original game despite being more challenging.
Bonus points for recycling the original bosses as regular enemies.
Kind of a shame we got the NG games that we did.
Or best plot or scenario or however you want to say it.
NES has Ryu tracking down the person who murdered his father and getting wrapped up with the CIA and an ancient demon in South America.
MS has Ryu as the last survivor of his village trying to recover the Bushido scroll from the Shogun of Darkness.
Finally, Arcade has Ryu traveling to America to prevent a descendant of Nostradamus from bringing about the end of the world from deep inside the Pillar Man mansion.
