I’ve never played it but I’ve heard really good things about Legend of the Mystical Ninja for years now. I think I’ll finally be getting this game after all these years lol
Mystical Ninja is a very good game. It’s as great as Konami’s other classics like the Castlevania and Contra games.
You should definitely give it a try if you can.
Fuck Legend of the Mystical Ninja! Where the hell is Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon at!?
