After finishing the Ninja Gaiden NES trilogy, it's time to explore the more obscure titles. Ninja Gaiden Shadow was developed by Natsume, which was originally planned to be a handheld Shadow of The Ninja. This makes a lot of sense since Ryu can hang from railings and, most notably, use a grapple hook. The game does a good job designing the boss fights around this, and you still have your Fire Wheel Ninpo. The highlight for me is the music, sprite work, and animation using the Game Boy hardware—really impressive. There was effort behind this game.
