This sequel will drop on October 15th, for the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 for America. The European release will be on August 30th. There were some logistical challenges that could not be solved in time, to have the title release in both markets at once. ININ apologizes sincerely to their audience, but as a form of compensation, the physical edition will have some extra items that will be revealed at a later date.

The game will be a completely uncut experience in both regions, including the option to change the color of the hit effects to red. Enemies that were not in the Western Super Nintendo version of the game will also be in the title. The Ninja Saviors – Return of the Warriors is a fully revised side-scrolling brawler, with five awesome characters, each with their own individual moves. There are two new faces joining the team as well: The small woman-shaped android Yaksha, with telescopic arms performing unpredictable moves and Raiden, a colossal android weighing a whopping 32000 kilograms / 70548 lbs.

The original developers, TENGO PROJECT, have improved the audio-visuals in every respect, making an already outstanding game even better! Along with 2-player co-op play, TAITO’s latest arcade action masterpiece also offers fans new 16-bit pixel art graphics and animations, the revamped sound of TAITO’s legendary house band ZUNTATA, as well as an online ranking system so that you can compare your skills to fighters from all over the world.
