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.

If you wonder why we talk about so many ninja games in this series, it's because a certain Ryu Hayabusa set the bar real high. The 1980s and '90s were filled with sword fights and shurikens, and thanks to Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden trilogy, a lot of these games had pretty great endings. Kaze Kiri: Ninja Action is no exception. In fact, I would argue that this 1994 side-scrolling beat 'em up has one of the best ninja cinemas of all time. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're doing to spoil the story and endings for Kaze Kiri: Ninja Action on the PC Engine. 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!
