Ninja Warriors for the SNES

Seriously this game's amazing. All your attacks look so cool and the music's pretty great. What I love is your moves and the bosses are so wicked. During the stages you have some pretty awesome enemies and obstacles. Here's a gameplay video:



This game's so much fun..

Wow, that looks awesome - similar play style to power rangers on the snes which is a great thing. I'll keep an eye out for this one on ebay, thanks for sharing it. I remember it for arcade with the 3 screens - that was insane.

I'm surprised that more games didn't adopt this variant of the beat 'em up which started with Kung Fu Master.

I only recently played another game similar to this which was an amazing game from start to finish, and that is batman for the sega genesis.

If you like this sort of game and a batman theme I DEFINITELY recommend batman return of the joker for the nes. Batman's pretty weak (but I believe you get unlimited lives) but it's still an awesome game. I think ninja warriors also has unlimited lives.

Thanks for the recommendation, I've heard of it. Looks like a great game, I like Sunsoft's games. I'll be sure to be on the look out for it.

Yeah sunsoft and irem are the two nobody's ever heard of companies that I collect games from. I love my waku waku 7 mvs cart. And I would have bought trip world if it weren't so darn expensive for just a gb game..

Yeah that is quite unfortunate that they are not well known for what they did, both developers made excellent games. Another team which really deserves more praise - for their arcade games - are Data East. I love their games, most of them are so unique with memorable soundtracks. Thunderzone is probably the most unappreciated title by them which I happen to have the PCB for, it has such impressive music and excellent gameplay.

I have the box game and manual.

When it was new nobody bought it so there's barely any copies floating around. Same reason why anything is expensive...

Oh did not realize that and yeah something things go to crazy.

Okay I played the entire game and made it to the final boss here's my thoughts.

1: The bosses are AWESOME

2: All of your moves are AWESOME

It reminds me a bit of contra where they're really trying to push the capabilities of the snes (except this game came out 2 or so years after contra). I absolutely love the theme they have. Also all of the bosses are just brilliant. There's a guy who disappears predator style, there's a guy who comes at you with a huge chainsaw, there's the guy with no shirt and ripped pants who does energy attacks, there's even a guy in a suite who can summon this awesome light beam of death. I find myself constantly wanting to come back to this game because of just how cool it is. Really the only thing that's soso in the game is the music, the music isn't terrible it's just soso (contra has better music, but ninja warriors has cooler bosses and boss intros)

Ah man I love a game with awesome bosses and when your character has awesome moves. I definitely have to get a copy of this game!
