ININ Games have released a new extra-large trailer for The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors and confirmed the launch dates for Europe and North America.
The sequel to the arcade hit will be released in Europe on August 30th and in North America on October 15th on Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation 4. The game was originally planned to be released simultaneously in both markets. They also confirm that the reason for the short-term postponement in North America are unforeseen logistical challenges, which could not be solved in time despite intensive efforts. As small compensation for a longer wait time, the physical release will contain some extra items that will be revealed later.
The game will be released as a completely uncut experience in Europe and the US, including the option to change the color of the hit effects to red. It will also include enemies that were not included in the Western Super Nintendo version at that time. An extensive insight into the features and characters is provided by the six-minute XXL trailer that was released today.
The fully revised side-scrolling arcade brawler THE NINJA SAVIORS – Return of the Warriors features a strong cast of five playable characters and a plethora of individual moves, with two completely new faces joining the team: The small woman-shaped android, Yaksha, with telescopic arms performing unpredictable moves and Raiden, a colossal android weighing a whopping 32,000 kilograms/70,548 lbs.
Armed with diamond sharp steel, the Ninjas turn their bodies into raging cyclones – leaping, kicking, and slashing through wave after wave of enemies. Over a total of eight levels, you’ll take on the tyrant Banglar and his henchmen either alone or with a friend.
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.
