Ninja Gaiden short is a visual treat
I just finished watching a fan film of Ninja Gaiden by 12King Fan Films. I've been looking forward to it for a while & it didn't disappoint. It REALLY impressed me with its fidelity to the series and its rather unique "silent movie" interpretation of the first NES game. Posted with Permission by 12King Fan Films, this is their awesome Ninja Gaiden Fan Film.
NINJA GAIDEN : Fan Film [2011 Release]
Pulled from the video description:
Ninja Gaiden: Fan Film - [2011 Release] from 12KING Fan Films. This short film is based on the original NES Game (1989) and focuses particularly on its famous "Cutscenes". It is experimental in nature and its intentional cartoon effect is reminiscent of the days of classic gaming.
Aside from the narration present in the film, there is no audible dialog; we considered that it would be interesting to let the images tell the story. If you are not familiar with the original Ninja Gaiden storyline, we encourage you to look it up.
In the film, Ryu Hayabusa's costume design as well as his Dragon Sword were inspired by the Box Art from the original game (The look is also somewhat featured in the arcade version of the game). Many of the "Game Stage" designs are included and re-interpreted with 2D and 3D renders within the film. A rudimentary "Green Screen" was used to incorporate the actors into the virtual scenes. The challenge was to make as much as possible with what little was available at the time and still make it all work somehow. We hope to have achieved this goal. The entire production cost was no more than 350$ CDN in weapons and costume materials.
We had a great time making this film and we are all proud to share it with you. It is dedicated to all Ninja Gaiden fans. And most importantly...We hope you sit back and enjoy it!

You talking about this one? It was just an animated short. It wasn't a teaser.LMAO I Actually remixed that video using the NESkimos Ninja Gaiden Intro Cover and the Rest of the Intro from the SNES/Trilogy version. Gotta remember to reup it to my new channel and repost it here. Thanks for reminding me. In the mean Time you can see it here:

It would have been better if it followed the game a little better, I mean in 13 mins Ryu didn't die! NOT ONCE! Not a single continue. He clearly used a game genie. Totally teh suckzors ; )

That was really good. Unique visual style, being able to tell the storu of almost entire game in less than 15-minutes and (aside from the narrator) without using words, good action, props and costumes and making the story followable(for the most part) even for those who haven't played the game, like me.

wow i have to say.... that's great and remixes are too why they can't take a fan of a serie to make the scenario of a movie based on a game?
joeshadowman
Awesome. This is even better just because it's based off the original Ninja Gaiden. BTW if you can beat that game then the one on Xbox should be a walk in the park for you.
Kenshiro3
I've beaten BOTH, and i have to disagree. I grew up with the NES game and STILL think it's the harder of the 2... damn hawks!
caboose_-1
Wow, that was really well done considering it was a fan film. My only complaint was that it ended too early; I WANTED TO SEE HIM KICK JAQUIO'S ASS!
Kenshiro3
PLAY THE GAME THEN! XD
