VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYUncommon - There are 11 known instances of Ninja Gaiden (PlayChoice) owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 11 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired. Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalThe cabinet has mutiple player controls and might even contain an optical gun. This game, however, is one player only.TriviaThis game was originally a Japanese Famicom title called Ninja Ryukenden, which loosely translates to "Ninja Dragon Sword Legend". For some reason Tecmo decided to change this game's name when they ported it to the NES in America, even though the arcade game they named it after was not all that popular. This game and its Japanese counterpart proved very popular, spawning two sequels.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Ninja Gaiden (PlayChoice) Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Nintendo.
