Virtual Console engages in Ninja Combat

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jun 2nd 2008 at 9:55AM }

Pfft, forget about all that "Ninja Guy Dan Too" rubbish you've heard about on the other consoles. If you want some frenetic action of a HI-YA! caliber, you'd best switch on the Wii and download a game from a time when ninjas still roamed the Earth.

Ninja Combat (NeoGeo, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points): As evident in the above video, "Ninja Combat" is quite the efficient and appropriate title. Can your ninja combatant wield a deadly sword? Yup! Is he capable of performing dizzying acrobatic maneuvers and mercilessly slaughtering innocent, roller-coasting bystanders? Certainly! Can he skilfully utilize magic and projectile weapons to defeat his enemies? Shuriken!

You deserve to get shot for that last pun...

Gotta disagree with you on that. Ludwig's puns, jokes, and wordsmithing always bring a smile to my face. Easily my favorite writer on the 'stiq.

Keep it up, Ludwig!

I disagree as well. It's ridiculously cheesy, but it brought a smile to my face :D

nah, that just lovable Ludwig for ya!!

He didnt get the nickname "the Punisher" for nothing, he has a reputation to uphold

Anyone remember 8-Man for the NeoGeo?

Yup and it was ass! Ninja Combat is only slightly better.

I loved it. I grew up on the old Tobor b&w anime, so I was super excited for that game.

You guys should have really combined the WiiWare and Virtual Console posts.

Aside from Metal Slug, Neo Geo games all look the same to me, the fighting/action games do anyway. The games just do not look interesting.

By the way, where's Kirby Superstar? IS it still coming or do I have to wait for the DS remake. And where's Puggsy. Bring me Puggsy!
