Overview
Description

Renegade puts you in the shoes of a street‑wise vigilante battling gangs across four distinct urban stages, from a subway platform to a mobster’s hideout. The game features fixed two‑screen arenas, a simple three‑button control scheme, and a cycle of increasing difficulty after each rescue. Originally released in 1987 by Technos Japan, the title has been ported to modern consoles, bringing retro hack‑and‑slash action to the Nintendo Switch.

The Ninja Warriors delivers classic side‑scrolling hand‑to‑hand combat where players control either Kunoichi or Ninja, battling waves of Banglar forces across five dystopian levels. Each character features unique combo moves, dash attacks, throws, stabbing, and air strikes, with a special energy bar that fuels powerful attacks when filled.
