EX: Shadow of the Ninja Reborn - A Peak Pixel Art Remake (9x13)

Air date: Sep 01, 2024

Shadow of the Ninja has its origins on the NES, a Natsume-developed game that first launched way back in 1990. And now, Tengo Project, following on from Wild Arms Reloaded and Rocky + Pocky Reshrined, re-imagines the original game for modern systems. What if polygon 3D never happened and developers continued to refine 2D pixel art? With this complete revamp of Shadow of the Ninja, we now have some idea of how that would have looked - and it's a simply fantastic game.
