 The Atari Lynx version of Ninja Gaiden III also received coverage in various magazines in 1994 . In GamePro magazine , they criticized the fact that the Lynx 's small screen makes it difficult for players to see the various power @-@ ups and enemies and to use secondary weapons . However , they praised the good controls , and they said the sound was fine though " weird and spacy " . VideoGames & Computer Entertainment praised the game for being better than the arcade version that was previously ported to the Lynx , but they were disappointed that Tecmo did not port the first two NES Ninja Gaiden titles to the handheld , as well . Electronic Gaming Monthly praised Tecmo for a good translation of the game from the NES to the Lynx – complete with good graphics , controls , and varied gameplay – while saying that " Ninja Gaiden [ III ] is a game that the Atari Lynx has been longing for " . Despite that , the reviewers noted that the Lynx 's small screen made all the sprites too small for most players to see well , and the screen 's blurring makes it frustrating for players to track character movements . In a retrospective review , Allgame gave a mostly negative review , saying that the background makes it difficult to see foreground elements , that players cannot see their character or what power @-@ ups they are collecting , and that sound is very poor , saying " thirteen banshees all wailing different , off @-@ key songs would only begin to approach just how bad the music is " .
