About KAGE Shadow of the Ninja
KAGE Shadow of the Ninja is a remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System title Shadow of the Ninja (released as Blue Shadow in Europe).
Game Overview
Traditional Two-Player Action
The acclaimed two-player side-scrolling ninja action returns. Players can choose between two characters, male or female, each with their own unique abilities, and work together to overcome formidable foes.
Impressive Pixel Art Quality Previously Unseen
Tengo Project’s dedication to 16-bit pixel art as seen in its highly acclaimed previous title Pocky & Rocky Reshrined continues on in KAGE Shadow of the Ninja. Painstakingly crafted pixel art graphics formulate the game’s aesthetic.
Featuring Music from Super Composer Iku Mizutani
Iku Mizutani, who composed music for the original Shadow of the Ninja, as well other Natsume titles like Shatterhand and the Medabots series, returns for KAGE Shadow of the Ninja. His nostalgic guitar playing has never sounded better.
