Konami announced recently that it will soon be bringing back another classic from its extensive library. Previously, the company brought back Felix the Cat and Rocket Knight Adventures, both being competent platformers originally made for the NES and Sega Genesis, respectively.
Konami is continuing the trend with another platformer, but this time it’s jumping forward ten years to the Game Boy Advance and reviving Ninja Five-O. It doesn’t appear to be getting the full remake treatment, but at least fans of the original can finally enjoy it without having to track down a very expensive original cartridge.
For those who are unfamiliar with the original or just plain weren’t around for it, Ninja Five-O puts players in the shoes of Joe Osugi, a detective who’s determined to rid Zipangu City of a mask-wearing terrorist organization. It’s a mission that’d definitely be beyond a normal member of the police, but, fortunately, Joe just so happens to be a ninja in addition to being a detective, so he’s got all the skills he needs to get the job done.
New features like the ability to rewind the game make for smoother progression.
For the most part, this new release...
