YOLO #6: Shadow of the Ninja (NES)
My name is Cyril Lachel and you're watching YOLO, the only show that's guaranteed to end in heartbreak. I'm taking the challenge to play every game with a You Only Live Once attitude. In this case, literally. I'll play exactly one life of every game, seeing just how far I can make it in a single turn.
Today we're looking at Shadow of the Ninja for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is a 2D action game from the future developers of Harvest Moon. Although Shadow of the Ninja was published by Natsume in most regions, Taito ended up doing the heavy lifting in Europe. Even though it's not as iconic as Ninja Gaiden, Shadow of the Ninja is a fun little action game that is worth looking at. Let's go ahead and push start and see what happens.
