The ultra-rare (and darned expensive) GBA side-scrolling platformer Ninja Five-O is coming to modern consoles. Originally developed by Hudson Soft and released by Konami in 2003, Ninja Cop (as it was known in Europe) is getting a new release, courtesy of Limited Run Games and Carbon Engine.
The original Game Boy Advance release was critically acclaimed but received a minimal print run, with auctioned copies usually fetching hundreds of dollars. Limited Run Games has announced digital and physical copies will be released at some point this year. Check out the trailer below.
Ninja Five-O will be released later this year on PS4, PS5, Steam, and Nintendo Switch.
I actually own this on the GBA, in its European Ninja Cop guise. Brilliant game. I had no idea it was so rare! Sadly, I no longer have the box, just the cart. I strongly recommend picking up the remake when it’s out. It’s one of my fave GBA titles.
