Some time has passed since the defeat of Ashtar and the resurrected Jaquio, and Irene Lew has received a new mission to complete. She is to observe a strange factory that has been constructed recently for an unknown purpose, and investigate it. She proceeds to reconnoiter it, but is intercepted and apparently assassinated by her friend Ryu Hayabusa...except it isn't Ryu. It is an imposter. The real Ryu, angered over her death, and the subsequent false accusation that he murdered her, continues her mission and proceeds to investigate the factory.
As stated, this was the last game in the regular series produced for the NES. It had many features the previous games in the series did not, such as a power up to extend the length of your sword, a new vertical "wave" attack and vertically-scrolling levels. The US version of the game is reputed to be the hardest in the series, due to the extra damage incurred when hit, slightly shorter regular sword length, limited continues and more enemies....

Yup, onto Ninja Gaiden number three. This one generally seems to be seen as the weakest edition of the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy. The difficulty is dumbed way down from the previous entries. It's still difficult, particularly towards the end, but nowhere near as difficult as the first two. The story is also kind of lame in comparison to the first two, eventhough it seems to start out pretty strong. Anyway, it's still a good game, and a welcome entry in the Ninja Gaiden series,"
