Ninja Gaiden for the Sega Mega Drive is one of three Ninja Gaiden games to be published by Sega with license from Tecmo.

The Mega Drive Ninja Gaiden takes the series back to its beat-'em-up roots, rather than opting for a frantic platform style of gameplay seen in other Ninja Gaiden games of this era.
