Shadow of the Ninja has its origins on the NES, a Natsume-developed game that first launched way back in 1990. And now, Tengo Project re-imagines the original game for modern systems. What if polygon 3D never happened and developers continued to refine 2D pixel art? With this complete revamp of Shadow of the Ninja, we now have some idea of how that would have looked - and it's a simply fantastic game.
