Ninja
Warriors Again (or just Ninja Warriors, as it was known in the West) is a
fantastic side-scrolling 2D beat-em-up game for the Super Nintendo.
Released in 1994, it is a re-imagining of the original 1988 Arcade
game, The Ninja Warriors. While published by Taito – who made the first game in the series – the SNES version was developed by Natsume, known for other
brilliant SNES games such as Wild Guns, Pocky & Rocky 2 and
Harvest Moon.
This
time around the game is set is a bleak version of the future (aren't
they all?) where the people are oppressed and ruled by the military,
under the control of a maniac named Banglar. Thankfully, a small
underground resistance formulate the genius plan to send in 3 ninja
androids to kick ass and assassinate the tyrant. Unfortunately, they were pressed for time and deployed the trio
of biomechanical ninjas in an
untested state. What could possibly go wrong?
