Ninja Gaiden 3 Fails | Glitches

ninja gaiden 3 glitches

Ninja Gaiden 3 is definitely one of the least polished games to come out in recent history. It's packed to the brim with all manner of bugs, glitches, and otherwise infuriating (though sometimes amusing) issues that prevent it from being a good game—among other things.

We've compiled ten of the biggest glitches we could find for Ninja Gaiden 3. Needless to say, we had to leave out more than a few because of just how teeming this game is with bugs.

#10 Infinite Jump

You can make Ryu Hayabusa jump as much as he wants with this little trick, which was apparently also possible in the previous Ninja Gaiden.

#9 Evil Ryu Runs Into a Wall

While performing the Ninja Trials, there's a slight chance for Ryu's fiendish adversary to run into a wall and do little else. In case you were wondering, he's supposed to fight you.

#8 Steel on Bone Glitch

Another day, another glitch. Ninja Gaiden 3 is just rife with them. If you skip to 2:00 of this video, you can watch how the player model repels attacks in the oddest way possible.

#7 Monorail Game Breaking Glitch

This gets you stuck on the monorail, which never, ever reaches its destination. Good times.

#6 Spidertank Glitch

The spidertank isn't supposed to be hovering like that, but apparently it's standing on an invisible floor located a few feet above the ground. You'll run into this one on Day 7.

#5 Day 5 Game Breaking Glitch

There's a glitch in every single chapter of Ninja Gaiden 3, and Day 5 is no exception. Fighting through the exit will get you stuck in this place for eternity. Note that the video isn't a still image—it's just Ryu stuck in place.

#4 Day 7 Infinite Jump Glitch

Doing that infinite jump can cause Ryu to get stuck in some very strange places from which he can't get out.

#3 Another Mission Breaking Glitch

Ninja Gaiden 3 isn't particularly well polished, and the game has a tendency to glitch out during story missions—which can very easily break your progression through the game and force you to reload.

#2 Boss Paralysis Glitch

Ryu's enemy decided to become completely paralyzed—yet invulnerable to his attacks. This happens to be a boss fight, and it isn't how it's supposed to go.

#1 Locked Door Glitch

Why are you closed? Why? Why? Tell us why you're closed. Tell us the reason.

The reason is bugs and poor programming, apparently.
