The Last Ninja adapts the System 3 isometric hack and slash on Jaleco NES with ninja Armakuni tracking the evil shogun Kunitoki through feudal Japan levels. The representation offers isometric view with katana combat and object puzzles in an adapted original English formula. Honest for NES action fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Jaleco catalog.

Collector interest

The Last Ninja brings System 3's cult home-computer game to the NES in a careful isometric conversion. Published by JVC in 1991 for North America, it is a late port of a title whose aura comes mainly from the microcomputer scene. The conversion divides opinion, yet JVC's uncommon NES presence and the franchise's computer fame keep interest alive. The North American release is the main entry point for collectors bridging micro and console worlds.
