3 Ninjas Kick Back was released for the Genesis, Sega CD, and SNES on November 19, 1994. It was developed by Malibu Interactive, which was the video game division of Malibu Comics. They did develop Batman Returns, which is a pretty solid game, along with a bunch of nonsense such as Cliffhanger, TimeTrax, and Ex-Mutants. 3 Ninjas Kick Back was published by Sony -- the SNES version only.

I will give this game more credit than I expected -- it's truly not that bad. The biggest problem is that it starts with a really difficult level, that includes a trap that can legitimately kill you in the first 3 seconds of gameplay. I'm not saying that games have to hold your hand for the first level, but how bout not putting a rolling boulder literally right next to where you start?

When you're actually able to play the game, like the auto-scrolling level, it's really not bad. I really do hate the 'collect X items to proceed' levels, though. Overall, it's still a bad movie tie-in game, but it's not quite as bad as I expected, all things considered. Thanks for watching!
