Review Shadow of the Ninja (3DS eShop / NES)
Gaming pleasure and pain, oh look it's ninjas again

You can't simply wait for the firing to stop before attacking as the gun doubles as a shield against your slashing blade. As you contemplate jumping between bullets to...

Go ninja, go ninja GO!
Ninjas really were a hot ticket back in the '90s. The Turtles were making TV and toy executives money hand over fist, and children became so caught up in the craze they had the sheer gall to drag their parents into the cinema to watch dreck like Surf Ninjas. Yep, it was a great time to be a kid. The trend bled into gaming and...

About The Game
Mad emperor Garuda holds the city in his grasp. Only two brave warriors dare to stand against him.
Playing solo or co-op with a friend, you'll slice, bomb and shuriken your way through Garuda's army of vicious soldiers, agile ninja and monstrous robots. Use your skills to hang from moving platforms, leap over lethal pitfalls and dodge diabolical traps. Collect deadly power-ups to give yourself an edge – if you can hold on to them. It'll take all of your platforming prowess to navigate the game's 13 intense levels and bring justice to Garuda!

I remember this from a Retrocore episode. Always thought it looked awesome, so I guess I consider myself excited...
It's a good game.
I really should play it again.
i dont know the game, but has same sounds as TMNT (nes)
i never played it, so cant understand whats fun about it
its just not my kind of game, but its ok for a platformer, i guess
Awesome. This is a true classic. Tight controls, fun levels (the gear level is pretty fun!) The two person co-op made it feel like the best version of a ninja gaiden type adventure ever!
Cool, it looks like ninja gaiden but with better music!!!
