Time to put Lord Namazu Dayuu in his place
Of all the Japan-only games to be given new life on the Virtual Console – and now in 2021, Nintendo Switch Online – Nintendo, oddly enough, picked this Famicom exclusive. While on the surface Ninja JaJaMaru-kun looks like another not-very-good arcade game, it's actually quite fun if you give it a...

About The Game
Ninja JaJaMaru-kun (meaning 'determined little ninja') was originally released for the Japanese Famicom (NES) in Japan in 1985. This action game features a ninja called JaJaMaru, who uses his shuriken (ninja throwing stars) to defeat monsters and save Princess Sakura from the evil Lord Namazu Dayuu.
Use special items to aid your quest (including a giant frog that you can ride!) as you fight across multiple stages filled with uniquely Japanese ghosts and monsters. Now you can enjoy this classic action game for the first time outside Japan, here on Virtual Console.

So will America ever get this game too or will it be soon?
All we can say for now is that the Australian Wii will get this game eventually as it is OFLC rated. Therefore Europe should get it and there is a good chance the USA will also.
well... it looks kinda crappy, I'm gettin' Shadow Warriors instead.
This looks a lot like a Ninja version of that Flicky game made for the Mega Drive...
Meh, too repetetive. It's only good for a few minutes now and then.
Why are people reviewing games they haven't downloaded? A one star review from someone who hasn't played a game is worthless - don't bother posting it.
I quite liked this game, good music and quite addictive.
Pocketim, ninja related games was somewhat of a fad during the eighties. There are quite a number of ninja related games.
its cute, but I don't know if its worth the 600 pts
What's with the frog?
he summons frogs just like naruto! I never new that ninjas summoning frogs was such a common motif.
Daft stupid Ninja game I cannae pronounce: never heard of it before now, and willnae hear from it again.
Awful awful music. And i would have given it a quick glance on the VC. One to avoid i suposse.
This one is fun for a few minutes and then begins to lose steam quickly. Very redundant and the hit detection could have been a lot better.
The music in this game is awesome.
