About this product

Product Information

The life of a ninja is full of perils. Your father was a ninja, but a mysterious half-human/half-beast creature killed him. You are Moonlight, trained in the ways of the ninja since a young age. After your father's death you have sworn to find his murderer and avenge his death.<br><br>You are equipped with several ninja weapons, and must fight your way through a series of stages on your way to confront and destroy your father's murderer. When the game begins you're armed with a katana, a supply of shuriken throwing stars, some throwing bombs, and a sickle and chain weapon known as a kusari gama. You can switch between these weapons at any time, and can determine which weapon you want to power up by choosing it before you pick up a power-up icon.<br><br>The katana hits all enemies around your front in an arc, does moderate damage, and can be used rapidly. When it's powered up, it has more reach and does more damage. The shuriken is a low damage weapon, but can be thrown at enemies. When it's upgraded you can throw three shuriken at once in a spread pattern. Your throwing bombs do great damage and can be upgraded to pack even more of a punch, but can't be thrown quickly. Finally the kusari gama can be thrown and spun around you in an arc, damaging all enemies around you for quite a distance.<br><br>Several types of upgrades are scattered throughout the game and can be uncovered by killing certain enemies. Flashing pink orbs upgrade your currently selected weapon, while solid pink orbs kill all enemies on screen when collected. Blue orbs give you shadow companions. A shadow companion attacks when you attack and cannot be killed unless you die. You can have up to two shadows at a time. Finally, the yellow orb gives you and any shadows you have a barrier of fire that renders you invincible for a limited period of time.

  • A welcome addition to any TG16 library.

    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!

  • Fun Ninja Action

    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.

  • 90’s Ninja nostalgia

    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!

  • Ninja Spirit is one of the best games for the TurboGrafx16

    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!
