Ninja Spirit vs Shinobi

Ninja Spirit puts you in the role of Gekkou, a young ninja seeking vengeance for his father's death. Set in an alternate feudal Japan, you slash through woodlands, wastelands, swamps, temples, and cliffs, confronting fierce bosses at the end of each stage.

The game features unlimited shuriken, close‑range punches and kicks, and a power‑up that transforms your attacks into explosive gunfire and katana slashes. Master timing, memorize enemy patterns, and use the one‑time ninja magic per stage to clear the screen and achieve high scores.
