It's not that it's bad, but it's not as good as 1 or 2, so it's the one that is going to catch shit. The primary ones are double damage and floatier jumps. My personal gripes with it are with the inconsistencies and plot holes in the story. To name a few:

>Why does it take an additional two stages beyond the "defenses around Castle Rock" for Ryu to finally arrive at Castle Rock?
>Why did Foster order Ryu's doppelganger to keep Ryu alive, and not give the same order to every other enemy in the game?
>If getting Ryu alive was part of Foster's plan, why did the doppelganger not capture him after Ryu lost the duel with him?
>Why are the mountains coming out of the sky in stage 4-1?
>Why does Foster order Ryu's death only when they are face to face? Didn't he want him alive?
>Foster plans to "extract the secret of Dragon Clan" [sic] from Ryu, what the fuck does this even mean, and why is it never mentioned again?
>How was it possible for Irene to keep her survival a secret from Ryu when he was clever enough to find the lab she was investigating, but not able to find out she had been working with the military since then? How was Foster not alerted to her prescence until she confronts him?
>Why does Ryu conveniently have the power to enter a portal that tore Foster to shreds?
>Why does Clancy use a subspace portal to escape if his destination is the same place?
>If the ruins of the Demon Temple were an extra-dimensional warship, why didn't Jaquio know about it?
>When Clancy's mostly human form is destroyed by Ryu, he turns into a giant red serpent. Ryu says "So that's your real form." So was Clancy always a demon serpent, even before he was mutated by the life energy?
>Castle Rock is presumably built on and around the ruins of the Demon Temple from the first game. The Ancient Ship of Doom is presumably what the Demon Temple really was. If this is true, why do we see both the ship AND Castle Rock Fortress blow up separately during the ending?

You should check out Ninja Gaiden 3 Restored. It's a romhack that combines the elements of the JP and NA releases. It includes the Password system and 1 hit = 1 damage of the JP version, but keeps the placement of enemies and orb drops from the NA version. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/570/

Castlevania 3 or the NES Ninja Gaiden's

It also works phenomenally well for building up the final stages.
