ININ Games, in partnership with Natsume Atari and Tengo Project, announced that Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn will be receiving an English release in the west. It will launch in Q1 2024.
Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn was recently announced as Kage Shadow of the Ninja in Japan. This is a remake of the original NES game.
Learn more about the game in the following overview:
The original title was released on the Japanese Nintendo Family Computer by Natsume Inc. in 1990. At the time, it was one of the most polished Family Computer action games and rated as one of the best two-player coop games. It was also the first of a series of titles that solidified Natsume’s reputation as a master of action games.
Released as Shadow of Ninja in North America and Blue Shadow in Europe, this classic is finally returning in a completely new production.
The acclaimed 2D ninja action side-scroller with simultaneous two player gameplay returns in this new remake. Choose between the male or female character and work together to defeat challenging enemies.
Incredibly detailed pixel art quality! The commitment to the 16-bit-style pixel art that was so highly acclaimed in our previous title, Pocky & Rocky Reshrined, will be on display again in this latest release. Enjoy the carefully crafted pixel art as it brings the game to life!
Iku Mizutani, the star composer who helped create the iconic Natsume sound, is back on board!
Mr. Mizutani, who created the Natsume soundtrack for the original version of this title as well as the Shatterhand and Medarot series, has been confirmed for this new project. Classic gamers will find delight in his renowned guitar riffs and fast-paced 16-bit melodies!
As with the 90s original, the key visuals and character illustrations will be handled by Dynamic Production.
