Natsume Atari announced on this day (July 28) that its new game software "Kage Shadow of the Ninja" is in production and will be released in 2024. This will be the fourth 16Bit taste remake developed by TENGO PROJECT, following "The Mystery of the Black Cloak of the Odd and Unusual World," which was a worldwide hit last year with over 150,000 copies sold. The price is undecided.
Traditional two-player action!
The highly acclaimed side-view ninja action with 2 players playing at the same time is still alive and well. Players can choose between two completely different characters, a man and a woman, and join forces to defeat powerful enemies.
Super composer Iku Mizutani, who has supported the sound of Natsume's works, will participate in this project!
Mr. Mizutani, who created the Natsume sound for the original version of this game, "Shutter Hands" and the "Medarotto" series, is also working on this new version. The familiar guitar playing is still there.
As in the original version, Dynamic Pro is in charge of illustrations!
The key visuals and character illustrations will be done by Dynamic Productions, known for their work on Mazinger Z and Grendizer, just as they did for the first version in 1990.
The game will be exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2023!
The show will be held at Makuhari Messe from September 23 to 24, 2023. The company will exhibit at Tokyo Game Show 2023, which will be held at Makuhari Messe from September 23 to 24, 2023. We plan to be one of the first to try out the game at the booth on the day of the show.

TEASER:
Natsume Atari subsidiary Tengo Project has published a new video teasing the announcement of a Shadow of the Ninja remake.
Shadow of the Ninja is a side-scrolling action game originally released for Nintendo Entertainment System in August 1990.
In the video, Tengo Project composer Hiroyuki Iwatsuki visits former Natsume “super composer” Iku Mizutani in Osaka, where he tells Mizutani that Tengo Project is currently working on a remake of one of Natsume Atari’s past titles that Mizutani worked on, and asks Mizutani to handle the music.
When asked if he remembers how the game’s music goes, Mizutani plays a short sample on his guitar, which ends up being the Shadow of the Ninja title screen music.
Mizutani then plays more of the music as scenes of the remake are shown in small bursts, before ending with the text, “Please wait for more news!”
