I suppose you have a point there...
The thing about Ninja Gaiden, though, is that the first 5 or so stages are mildly to moderately challenging, then level 6 ups the ante...
Then they throw 3 bosses in a row at you...
And this would not be such a big deal in itself if it weren't for the fact that the last 3 bosses are tied into stage 6...
Meaning once you manage to make it through stage 6, if you die on any one of the 3 bosses, you start over again... From the beginning of stage 6...
And thems some mighty frustrating bosses... I've given it a couple shots within the past few years, both of which had me at it for a good hour or two, and neither time did I get past the second boss...
Maybe I Just suck... But having to climb your way back up from the beginning of stage 6 every time you die at the boss seems like a bit of an unnecessary challenge...
