Our sleeveless-ninja-suit-wearing friend from
Tecmo is already planning his return, according to new listings found on the ESRB's site.
Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos was released in 1990 in the U.S., just one year after Tecmo presented the
first game. It features the same kind of side-scrolling action as the original, with the addition of shadow-ninja clones like the ones found in
Ninja Spirit. The box warns that the game is "hard to beat!!" and we can in fact confirm this.
Also newly rated is Sega's
Shining in the Darkness, the first game in the
Shining series. Don't be discouraged by the fact that the series has been thoroughly ruined by
countless mediocre spinoffs and sequels-- while
Shining in the Darkness isn't as well-regarded as the
Shining Force games, it can still be fun for people who are into hardcore dungeon crawling.
