There's only eight levels, but there's enjoyment to be had from Arcade Archives Kid Niki Radical Ninja as you hop about and avoid attacks, take some enemies out on the left, then the right, jump to move forwards and smack some in midair too. The game can be challenging, but satisfying when you up your pace sufficiently to stop that timer hitting zero and the boss battles are fun too. If you are just looking to finish the game there's not much replay value once cleared, but there's a few ways to improve your score which adds to the replayability when combined with the online leaderboards.

I put a lot of quarters into Kid Niki arcade machines when I was a kid. I was delighted to see it come to the Nintendo Switch, but upon playing it, I realized it hasn't aged all that well.
Bottom line: this game is pretty difficult and unforgiving. There are few checkpoints, the enemies re-spawn relentlessly, and using a continue sets you all the way back to the beginning of a stage.
I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped I would.
