Here is a 1life clear of the PC Engine port of Ninja Sprit on 'ARCADE MODE'. The default 'PC Engine Mode' is significantly easier, mainly due to the inclusion of an energy bar and reduced threatening enemy types eg: the removal of the Samurai on stage 3, making it waaayy easier. The arcade mode however is an entirely different beast with instant 1-hit death and more enemy types and increased spawn rate. Imo, Irem should have kept the same enemy types as arcade mode and have the player maybe x3 hits, removing threatening enemies and x5 is a bit overkill and makes the game too easy.
*Played on genuine hardware through a CRT in RGB with a padhacked Sega VirtuaStick Highgrade, and captured in glorious 480i with my £5 USB capture dongle...
