Hamster has announced that Ninja Gaiden will be released this week as the latest addition to the Arcade Archives series. A worldwide release is planned for May 9.
Ninja Gaiden for arcades was actually quite a bit different from the NES title. As opposed to being a side-scrolling action-platformer, the arcade edition was a beat ’em up.
Arcade Archives Ninja Gaiden will cost $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.29 on the Switch eShop.
