We reported on the upcoming release of a Ninja JaJaMaru collection last summer and now we know three different collections from ININ Games are coming on 21st February 2023. Two of the collections are split between the platform and RPG titles while the third is a full package featuring all the titles.
The series started on the Famicom and was hugely popular with Japanese gamers and sequels continued into the 1990s with releases on Game Boy, Super Famicom and MSX. Sadly, some of the titles were not released in the West and the series went under the radar.
Now, fans of Ninja JaJaMaru, and those yet to discover its charms, have a choice of collections for digital download on Switch and PlayStation. There is also a physical edition that is currently up for pre-order with Strictly Limited Games.
