Obtaining the Original Ninja Gaiden NES Games:

Ninja Gaiden 1: Find all 50 scarabs, then visit Muramasa and he will give you the game.

Ninja Gaiden 2: Complete the game and obtain Master ranking in each chapter on Normal skill level...OR...once you have Ninja Gaiden 1, shoot the Clock Tower in Tairon with an arrow from the second level of the building accross the street. Then on the roof you will find a chest with Ninja Gaiden 2.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Complete the game and obtain Master ranking in each chapter on Hard or Very Hard skill level...OR...get Ninja Gaiden 2 go to the Peristyle Passage in the Aquaduct. Remember the scarab at the top of the two columns (the first two columns on the right of the hall when you enter and turn right)? Now go to the same spot and you will find a chest with Ninja Gaiden 3 in it.

Play the Ninja Gaiden games from the Start Menu: Simply complete the game on any skill level with the games in your inventory, and you will be able to play the game from the start menu.

Get LOTS of $$$$: There are a lot of things you can do, but my favorite is the following...max out your Inazuma Nimpo skill. Go to the labyrinth where the pirahna fish gather right at the exit, or the door that leads to Tairon from the final palace. The pirahna fish can be tricky, but if you have your Inazuma nimpo maxxed out, and the bracelet that gives you extra nimpo, use your Inazuma nimpo repeatedly to kill the pirahna fish, and your combo will build up quickly. The fish won't attack right away, but once one does, most or all of them will swarm to you. While you're casting, the fish run into you and die immediately, and once the spell is cast, it will waste the remaining fish. Then go collect the essence, and immediately cast again. Since you have the extra Nimpo bracelet on, you should at least replace the Nimpo essence from killing the fish. This method gets me 5-7k or more every time, and I was quickly able to upgrade the Wooden Sword to the max. Experiment with this and you'll see how it works.
