Maybe there aren’t QUITE 101 ways to beat the epic NES game, Ninja Gaiden. But, given that this 1989 Tecmo game is part of pretty much every retro gamer’s collection in one form or another (versions and sequels were also released on SNES, GameBoy, Game Gear, Xbox, DS, and even the iPhone) there are probably quite a few ways to get it done.

When retro gamers, and even modern ones with the Ninja Gaiden iPhone app, think of all the different styles of controllers used to beat this game, there is one that may escape them. Have you ever considered performing those super ninja-powered moves yourself by utilizing a dance pad to conquer the game?

Nick Hagman did. While most gamers with any Gaiden experience at all can conquer the basic NES version of the game in definitely less than eight days, it apparently takes about eight months to build up your ninja skills enough to do it with a dance pad.

Don’t miss this video, capturing the moment of triumph!
