Ninjas Vs. Catfish In A Game Made By Hamster

Hamster is reviving one of Japan’s oldest platform heroes, but since Ninja JaJaMaru-kun games weren’t released overseas you might not recognize the red ninja. And if you do you might imagine him to be spinach green from his appearance in Maru’s Mission, one of the two localized Ninja JaJaMaru-kun titles.

Ninja JaJaMaru-kun: Princess Sakura and the Secret Fire Breathing Dragon lets you play as JaJaMaru-kun or Shizuha. Both characters have to save Princess Sakura who has been kidnapped again. This time by a catfish! Famitsu showed screenshots of three stages in the game. The first level (pictured aboe) is designed to teach players the basics. Stage two takes players to a bamboo forest and stage three has an 805 black cow as a boss.

Ninja JaJaMaru-kun: Princess Sakura and the Secret Fire Breathing Dragon comes out on April 25.
