The game plays almost like a shooter (contra for example) though in place of guns you have a sword. Power ups give you shields, stronger sword attacks, and shadow clones. It’s not an overly complex game, mostly just running to the right, though it is addictive. Similar to games like Darius, it pays to keep momentum with your power-ups; dying and starting over with a base weapon in later stages is very challenging. If you own a TurboGrafx, you should own this game!

The game has great graphics and excellent music. The controls are tight and responsive. The levels are well designed and I feel the game has a good difficulty curve. If you like 16 bit action games then you will enjoy this game.

Definitely a top ten game for the Turbografx 16! Boss fights, good controls and great weapons. My cousin was the only person I knew that owned this game when I was a kid and it was ahead of it’s time!

I remember watching clips on YouTube for the top 10 games & Ninja Spirit was on the list. I thought it was just as good as Shinobi & Ninja Gaiden so I got. The music and gameplay is epic! I love it!

Another classic from the child hood! This game was always fun but I never got very far on it. Although its still a great classic with a nice gameplay feature where you get "clones" of yourself as you pickup these powerups. They trail behind you and can not get hurt. Very cool concept but I think they flawed it out....You can't move while swinging your sword.
Great game!

From this Mom and 15-year-old daughter comes a rousing thumbs-up. Ninja Spirit translates well to this system, yet retains the feel of the arcade game. High ratings on pacing, music, bosses, and weapons. My daughter says the action makes her feel like she's in a mini ninja movie. Not the most challenging of TurboGrafx offerings, but still packs a punch!
