S3E08: Ninja Gaiden and Kung Fu Heroes -or- Kung-Fool Me Once, Game on Ryu

It’s an absolute punch-up as Timmy Williams from The Whitest Kids U’ Know joins Mike and Jaymo as they play the all-time classic Ninja Gaiden (NES, 1988) and the not-so-classic Kung Fu Heroes (NES, 1989) as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online’s Nintendo Classics catalog!

In this episode, we explore how the Whitest Kids can be used as teaching tools,, learn why the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles weren’t allowed in Europe, behold the return of Nuts & Milk, and see how Ninja Gaiden squares up against 80s and 90s ninja movies (Surf Ninjas forever).
