Finally a release date for this game.
It continues to look great! These devs are doing such an excellent job with all these remakes/sequels. You can really tell they are actual veterans of the era. The games just feel like what those games would've evolved to if tech had stayed 2d.
It also seems quite different from the originals more grounded and realistic style. But that is sorta the point of a remake too.
Very excited to finally try this out.
Comes out on all platforms.

SUPER REALISTIC NINJA ACTION UNLEASHED!

Looks fun! I have it wish-listed. :)

 

[Issen]

Day one. Still have to decide if I'll buy it on Steam (Deck) or Switch.

I would've preferred if they stuck to a darker art-style that more closely matched the original's artwork (this is a pretty big departure, to be honest) but the music's definitely there and so is the gameplay. And it's not like it looks ugly, by any means...

 

[andymcc]

Neat that Sega is publishing this.

 

[Sanctuary]

"Super realistic ninja action"? 🤣
Looks like it might be good in any event.

I think that's just for the Asia region, I think ININ is doing it in NA.

 

[kidnemo]

Dang, that looks nice. I didn't even know this was a thing. Thanks OP.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

All of these Tengo Project games so far have been incredible, so I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

I've not played the original games that any of these have been based on, but I've been impressed with all of these Tengo Project reimaginings.

 

[Huey]

Looks really nice, reminds me of the Ninja Saviors remake, which I really enjoyed:

[logically, as it is part of the same project lol]

Yeah, ININ physical preorders have been up on Amazon for a bit.

 

[CeVee]

My only complaint is that it's releasing so far away. Day One!

 

[Nocturnowl]

I look forward to playing as ninja Justin Bailey, that's all I see with the lady ninja

ah that makes sense.

 

[KaiPow]

Game'd be good if they can tighten up the controls. In the build I played (and beat the first stage of), weapon switching is horrendously slow and awkward to pull off on the fly.

 

[Dezzy]

I got the original game on the NES as a gift when I was a kid. It was a pretty good game that I never really saw anyone talk about over the years, and here we are getting a remake of it. Very cool.

 

[Judau]

Oh, cool! I remember playing the original on the NES, plus I managed to find it on the 3DS eShop without even knowing it was on there. Can't wait for this one.

 

[Grenlento]

Have had it on my watchlist for a while.

I kinda wish the characters looked the generic ninja you see in the thumbnail; not feeling the Reborn designs.

 

[llama-5-0]

Idk why, but these games always stand above the rest for me in terms of indie style 2d throwbacks. Everything these guys have put out has been amazing in terms of graphics, sound and gameplay.

 

[Volken]

Can't wait for this, love this team's output.

Looks really nice, reminds me of the Ninja Saviors remake, which I really enjoyed:

The remake is one of the best games in the genre.

Beautiful sprite work and feels wonderful to play.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Ohhh I loved the original, thanks for the heads up!

 

[Oneself]

Holycow, in my veins.

 

[super moustique]

Is the OG game included with this?

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Don't think I have ever played the original. To be honest, I thought this was a 2D follow up to Ninja: Shadow of Darkness on the PS1.

I think it's because the devs are actually veterans from back in the day. They are not trying to copy something they loved in their youth like so many modern pixel based games. They were actually there and inherently know what made those games good from the inside.

Okay, this is pretty much exactly what it is. You can just sense it when playing these games.

 

[TeenageFBI]

I see a Natsume game, I buy it.

Tengo Project, whatever.

It's on Nintendo Switch Online if you feel like playing it

 

[ghibli99]

Cool! I was just watching Russ from Retro Game Corps talk about this one a little bit while game shopping in Japan. I've only messed with it a little on NSO but not beyond just a few minutes. Might have to invest more into it. :)

 

[Tendo]

In Tengo Project we trust.

 

[Timu]

I'll finally be able to play this!=O

 

[Gotchaforce]

Looks so good!

 

[CO_Andy]

Love that all of Tengo Project's games are a love letter to the bygone 16-bit era.

They absolutely deserve more love (and money).

 

[OmegaDL50]

I see a Natsume game, I buy it.

Tengo Project, whatever.

Click to shrink...

Tengo Project means a quality remake. Return of the Ninja Warriors, Wild Guns Reloaded, Pocky & Rocky: Reshrined. All Tengo Project games.

Natsume Atari was also involved in the 2D Eiyuden: Rising game, although that wasn't under the Tengo Project label.

 

[Finaika]

Love the chunky & bouncy sprites!

 

[zoodoo]

It looks very different from the original. More beatm up than ninja gaiden like. Visuals are great but looks much slower. Why the emphasis on coop?

 

[thetrin]

Fuck, this was one of my most played games on NES as a kid. I LOVED this game. Beat it all the time with a family friend.

I am so excited for this.

Why tge emphasis on coop?

Click to shrink...

I always played it in coop as a kid, so I didn't even think that was weird.

EDIT: OH SHIT THAT LEVEL 1 MUSIC IN THE TRAILER

lol I always played it solo so this trailer looks weird to me. It basically played like ninja gaiden. This looks made for coop

Still interested

Edit: xbox too Yay!!

In what way? Doesn't look more made for coop than the first one to me.

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

Finally, can't wait!

Also where is the steam/PC logo at the end?

Also i hope that after this, they'll try to do a completely new game! not a remake or reboot, just something completely new!

A full on sequel to one of these games would be fine too, as long as everything in it is new

 

[BlackManLovesKUF]

Looks fantastic, one of my favorite NES games getting the Tengo glow up.

Probably a me thing cause I never played it coop. I dont think I even knew it had coop

 

[LiftGammaGain]

One of my most wanted this year. Can't wait.
This guys could easily pull a Metal Slug or Contra.

no xbox either yet OP said all platforms lmao

Edit: this trailer has all the platforms so OP is right

i mean the game has a steam page since the announcement, but i'm affraid it would not release at the same time with this trailer...

Game was announed for all platforms, even has a Steam page. Who knows why PC and the box was not in the trailer.
