Shadow of the Ninja – PA37

The 80’s and 90’s were buzzing with shurikens and katana wielding ninjas, not only for video games but all media. During the height of this phenomenon, Shadow of the Ninja appeared on the NES. With every media outlet fighting to cash in on the fad, it would be easy to write this game off as nothing more than an uninspiring ninja trope. While this game does borrow (quite heavily) ideas from other games in the genre it does them very well. More importantly, it has one of the best soundtracks the NES has to offer. So if you passed on this Natsume title back in the day, now is your chance to see what you were missing. For only $5 on the eShop, it’s a steal.
