    Awesome nostalgia game from snes!!! Excellent beat em up game. I wish it could have new stages or something else besides new characters. Thats why i took -1 point. The rest is very good.

    J'adorais déjà la version Super Nintendo et cette version est encore meilleure, un chef d'oeuvre rétro.

    Hab die Ninja Warriors nie per Automat bzw. auf dem Super Nintendo gespielt, die Rückkehr dieser fühlt sich aber sowas von zu Hause an, es lohnt sich durch und durch.

    Una puesta al dia del clásico Beat'em up de Taito de 1987.
    Esta recreativa ya tuvo una adaptación para la consola Super Nintendo, donde ya en su dia mejoraban gráficos y jugabilidad.
    Esta nueva reimaginación del juego, incorpora graficos mejorados al estilo 16-bits, 2 nuevos personajes, nueva banda sonora y posibilidad de jugar a 2 jugadores en modo local. No es un juego    Una puesta al dia del clásico Beat'em up de Taito de 1987.

    No es un juego recomendable para todo el mundo, pero los amantes del Beat'em up lo disfrutarán muchisimo, sobretodo con los personajes extra, y porque conseguir este juego en Super Nintendo hoy en dia es carísimo.    … Expand

    This is a great reboot of the Ninja Warriors series! Nice graphics and music, 5 playable characters who all play very differently with a surprisingly large range of moves available. It feels satisfying beating up the bad guys and 8 levels seems just the right length. My only criticisms are (1) the final boss fight is frustrating rather than enjoyable, and (2) The price ($30AUD) seems a bitThis is a great reboot of the Ninja Warriors series!

    This game is a dream come true for me. I knew what I was getting when I purchased this game, but this game is easy. Ninja Saviors is a faithful recreation on Ninja Warriors (SNES). This game has always been easy. I wish there a hardly mode, a sequel and/or DLC. Here's a list of what Ninja Saviors' improvements: new & old soundtrack, widescreen, 2 player campaign, HD pixel art design

    The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors often feels like a tribute to the sidescrolling beat'em-ups of the 1980s and 1990s and it does a remarkably good job at that. With its cast of very distinct characters, a marvelous audio atmosphere and high quality animations, this remake and/or sequel will be unquestionably appreciated by beat'em-up fans (and beyond) and is easily one of the best games of its genre on the Nintendo Switch.

    The Ninja Warriors: Return of the Warriors is for those who love classic arcade or console games. Those players are fine with titles being a bit short, since the replayability comes through in getting better with the game or replaying with friends in tow. It certainly helps that everything from the expanded move set to the character differences and presentation is top-tier, 16-bit stuff and rather straightforward, except for the final boss. As long as you're coming in with a mindset of defeating the game more than once, you'll have a great time with this low-key classic.
