    Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn is a remaster done the right way. It takes what was a great game, tweaks the way that it looks and drags it kicking and screaming into the modern era, refusing to ever allow the resulting game to be a pushover like so many do.

    Shadow of the Ninja Reborn is a must-play for anyone with nostalgia for the NES era, and likely more than that. The upgraded visuals are outstanding. The music is top-tier, and the game play is exact and precise. The difficulty may turn off some, but it can be beaten with persistence, and it is worth it. Definitely recommended.

    Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn is both an honest piece of work and a fun game that capitalizes beautifully on the retro charm of classic NES action games, where it was all about skill and the ability to learn things that the game wants to surprise and test you with. Even this remake expands on the original with brand new content. It's just that it's still very little, and there are even a few minor setbacks that detract from the overall experience.
