I BEAT NINJA GAIDEN... ON A FRICKIN' DANCE PAD!

 I BEAT NINJA GAIDEN... ON A FRICKIN' DANCE PAD!
 
  

  
I spent eight months--EIGHT MONTHS--trying to beat this game, and I finally did it... on a dance pad.

I hate to break it to ya: there isn't a thing I can do. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. It's not looking pretty.

I really hope you took care of every game before this because I can't really imagine anything topping this.  Unless you started trouncing real people on fighting games with it .  Or maybe play through Starcraft!  :D

I have but one thing to add to this already stellar thread:
  

 
Seriously though, good job dude. You've made me want to actually attempt beating Symphony of the Night with a guitar controller like I've been thinking about for the last two years.

That wouldn't explain how Castlevania easily got 50,000 views, though. Even Giant Bomb had heard about me beating Castlevania, because they read about it on Kotaku... but I don't know how Kotaku found out about me!  I don't know how to make the magic happen again. Mega Man 2 got less than 8,000 views and Castlevania III got less than 4,000 views. Do the gaming news sites just don't care anymore? I spent eight months on this! "  
The wider audience cares a lot more about something the first few times they see it.  By now the gaming sites won't care as much and the views will probably be less although the core group of people who always want to see it will continue to watch (me included).  Doesn't tarnish the achievement though, man.  Gooood work. "
That's a good point. I'm just worried that there are people who would be interested but haven't heard of me. I mean, I've inspired people to try other games before on a dance pad (I've actually seen someone beat the Deku Tree on Ocarina of Time on one before!), so I know that I what I do is influential. I don't feel like this is a waste of time, and that's why I want people to know.  I mean, look at how much of a response this thread has had: people are still interested, people are still drawn to it, and that's why I feel like the word needs to get out.

Crap! I was going to reference that in the video, but I forgot to! Thanks for reminding me; I'll do that sometime in the future, all in tribute to Ninja Gaiden. Trust me, Ryu Hayabusa has had his fair share of getting knocked into pits!!!

Don't worry, I said the same a few months ago, and that was with my hands too! I can do it easily with my hands now, and you can too someday!

1. Mastered? Eh, I still can't beat Contra or DuckTales with the dance pad (DUCKTALES! Seriously, who would have thought such an easy game would be harder than Castlevania on a dance pad???), but I will agree that this is totally impractical.
2. Thanks!
3. Yeah, I know. :)
