One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

A quarter century after their last adventure, The Ninja Warriors will be returning to consoles in 2019. This long-overdue sequel will be heading to Switch next year and appears to be the first steps in Taito reintroducing their classic IPs to a new audience. To help celebrate this exciting news, I wanted to take a look at the two classic games from 1987 and 1994. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the stories and endings for both the arcade and Super NES versions of The Ninja Warriors. This is Game Over: The Early Years.


Still want more endings? Then I recommend you discover 23 Endings: The Early Years, the holiday series that ran during the 2017 holiday season. We cover Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Bros. 2, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, Metroid, Double Dragon, Flashback, Final Fight and many more!
