This one shows the new game side-by-side with the 1990 original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing gamers love, it\u2019s comparing things. <em>Shadow of the Ninja<\/em> is the oldest game that Tengo Project has remade from Natsume\u2019s back catalog, and being on the NES, it was built on limited hardware. Rather than simply spruce up the game like with <em>Wild Guns: Reloaded<\/em> or create an entirely new entry in the series like <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/reviews\/review-pocky-rocky-reshrined-switch-ps4-run-and-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pocky &amp; Rocky Reshrined<\/a><\/em>, they\u2019ve kind of found a comfortable place in between. The levels are reminiscent of the original, but everything <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/shadow-of-the-ninja-reborn-is-the-next-retro-revival-from-tengo-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has been overhauled<\/a> with new abilities and enemy placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn: Comparison Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o6FxFr80B1g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it looks pretty great! Placed next to the remake, the 8-bit original looks incredibly sparse. It was actually a decent-looking game for the time period, but the NES was very restrictive when it came to how much you could jam on screen at one time. Tengo Project has already shown off some great pixel art chops with their previous games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remake will have new weapons, a new level, and an upgraded soundtrack by the original composer, Iku Mizutani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wonder where Tengo Project will go next. My first guess would be <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/16526\/scat-special-cybernetic-attack-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S.C.A.T.<\/a><\/em>, but what I\u2019m really hoping for is <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/11083\/abadox-the-deadly-inner-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Abadox<\/a><\/em>. I guess we should wait and see how <em>Shadow of the Ninja &#8211; Reborn<\/em> turns out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Shadow of the Ninja &#8211; Reborn<\/em> is coming to Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in Summer 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shadow of the NES.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":455025,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","ub_ctt_via":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[19990,21144,478,22943,22942],"internal-label":[22870,24255],"invoiceable_action":[23730],"article_type":[23116],"coauthors":[{"id":17,"display_name":"Zoey Handley","user_nicename":"adzuken"}],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Header_ShadowNinja01.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","author_info":{"display_name":"Zoey Handley","author_link":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/author\/adzuken\/"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Header_ShadowNinja01.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455018"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455018"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455018\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":455030,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455018\/revisions\/455030"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/455025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455018"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=455018"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=455018"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=455018"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=455018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
