The Ninja Warriors
Arcade SystemsBeat 'em up
The Ninja Warriors is a 1987 side-scrolling beat 'em up developed and published by Taito for arcade systems. Set in a dystopian future, it follows three combat androids—Ninja, Kunoichi, and Kamaitachi—sent to overthrow the tyrannical Banglar. Players advance through guarded urban and industrial environments while fighting soldiers, cyborgs, and large mechanical bosses. The game emphasizes direct arcade action, with distinct characters offering different speed, reach, and attack characteristics. Its dramatic presentation, large enemies, and force-feedback cabinet helped it stand out in arcades, while the original release earned a strong reputation among beat 'em up players for its atmosphere and challenging combat.
The Ninja Warriors
Super Nintendo (SNES)Beat 'em up
The Ninja Warriors is a side-scrolling beat 'em up developed by Natsume and published by Taito for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. It reimagines the 1987 arcade game The Ninja Warriors with new stages, redesigned characters, and a more elaborate combat system. Players choose one of three combat robots and fight through a dystopian military regime using punches, kicks, weapons, throws, and special attacks. The game is built for one player and emphasizes careful positioning against groups of enemies. It was well received for its detailed pixel art, large sprites, responsive action, and unusually polished presentation, although its challenge and limited replay structure can be demanding.
