The Neo Geo launch titles were all about showing off what the new hardware could do, and covering as many game genres as possible for the launch of this new system. So where does this leave Ninja Combat? Well at times all over the place :-/
There are many cool elements to this side-scrolling platform beat/slash/shoot-'em-up, but they don't always come together well. My quest for gaming perfection aside however, there's a load of fun to be had here if you don't take the game too seriously, and I do remember being impressed when I first saw this game in the arcades back in 1991. So job well done ADK & SNK!
