Ninja-Kid II was released by UPL in 1988 for an 8-bit home console.
In this action game, you embark on an adventure across diverse fields—including mountains, oceans, and caves—to defeat your greatest and most powerful foe, Ashura.

The Console Archives series is developed with the concept of faithfully reproducing masterpieces released on various home game consoles, allowing players to easily enjoy them on the latest hardware.
The series is packed with convenient features, including customizable button layouts and screen settings, as well as the ability to save and load at any point.
Whether you played them back in the day or are experiencing them for the first time, please enjoy the masterpieces that shaped the history of console gaming!
