Ninja Gaiden for the Sega Mega Drive is one of three Ninja Gaiden games to be published by Sega with license from Tecmo. However, whereas the Master System and Game Gear games were released by the company, the Mega Drive version was cancelled during development for a dumb reason. The game was scheduled to be released in 1992.

The Mega Drive version of Ninja Gaiden is modeled after the arcade version, which is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up, rather than opting for a frantic platforming action seen in the NES version. Though the title claims the game was "reprogramed", it is in fact a brand new release.

attacks, jumps and triggers a special move.

As of 2011 no clean dumps of the ROM exist, only bad dumps and ROMs containing hacked headers. It is still fully playable in most emulators, however.
