About Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn
After 35 years, Shadow of the Ninja is back with more supreme ninja action! When the original Shadow of the Ninja (also known as Blue Shadow in Europe) launched in 1990, it quickly gained recognition as one of the most polished action games of its era, earning high praise for its co-op gameplay.
A Classic Co-op Experience!
Unleash your ninja skills solo or team up with an ally in its acclaimed co-op mode! In co-op, take on the role of either a ninja or a kunoichi, then work together to confront formidable foes!
Exquisite Pixel Art and Refreshed Visuals!
Shadow of the Ninja features TENGO PROJECT’s signature 16-bit visual style, which garnered widespread acclaim in their previous hit Pocky & Rocky Reshrined.
An Enhanced Music Experience from the Mastermind Behind Natsume’s Past Titles, Iku Mizutani!
Iku Mizutani, the composer of the original Shadow of the Ninja, Shatterhand, and the Medabots series, returns to score the music in Shadow of the Ninja.
