G.G Series: Ninja Karakuri DenDSiWare

First Impressions Shinobi Karakuri-den 2

Double the ninjas, double the fun

Retro gaming fans surely enjoyed the first Ninja Karakuri Den (as it's known outside of Japan), playing like a cutsey combination of Ninja Jajamaru Kun and Mappy.

First Impressions G.G Series Chō Hero Ōga 2

This sequel is MIGHTY difficult

Having collected the first wave of G.G Series titles, Genterprise and Suzak have decided to go back to the well and release their sequels.

First Impressions G.G. Series Shinobi Karakuri-Den

Mappy Ninja Gaiden

Ninja have been a fixture of video games for a long time, so it's only fitting that Suzak have created a game for the G.G.
