~NINJA-KID II~ Ninja action such as triple jumps and wall climbing, and melancholy music

• Sequel to Majou no Bouken, Ninja-kun aims to defeat the final boss Ashura across over 30 diverse stages.

• Features versatile actions including triangle jumps, wall climbing, and swimming via a simple 2-button system.

• Celebrated for its melancholy "naki-melo" BGM and atmospheric sound design that resonates with many fans.

• The arcade version suffered from "permanent patterns" (infinite lives), making it a rare find in game centers.

• The FC version by Micronics is a "good port," adding branching routes while keeping the arcade's core elements.

• Despite high difficulty like the "beginner killer" Scene 4, the FC version offers helpful infinite continues.

• The arcade game ends in total silence with a simple English message, fitting the stoic nature of the shinobi.
