Ninja Gaiden Vol. 2 (Definitive Soundtrack)
Experience the follow-up soundtrack for one of the most iconic and beloved 2D action game series. Ninja Gaiden Vol. 2 (Definitive Soundtrack) by Keiji Yamagishi and Ryuichi Nitta features the complete soundtracks for Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos and Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom.
A Classic Gaming Experience
Ninja Gaiden, one of the most iconic and beloved 2D action game series ever created, was first released in the arcades in 1988, making its console debut on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) later that year. Renowned for its deep storytelling, beautifully visualized by TECMO’s unique “cinema scenes,” Ninja Gaiden also captivated players with its legendary chiptune soundtrack, whose unique rock-’n’-roll sound and drum beats became a formative musical experience for gamers.
Digitally Restored Masterpieces
The Ninja Gaiden: The Definitive Soundtrack is divided into volumes. Vol. 2 features the music of both Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos and Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom. These legendary soundtracks have been digitally restored under the supervision of Ryuichi Nitta and Kaori Nakabai, two of the original composers. The package includes a booklet with a comprehensive roundtable discussion among several members of the original development team, an essay by game historian Ray Barnholt, and original archival artworks.
