Return of the Ninja delivers ninja platforming on GBC in the 8-bit classic style. Shurikens, double jump and trap-filled levels. A solid genre tribute, accessible but not particularly fresh.

Collector interest

European edition of a ninja action-platformer from Natsume, released late in 2002 as the GBC gave way to the GBA. That end-of-life timing led to a modest print run, which explains elevated loose and CIB values for a title of merely decent reputation. Collector interest comes mainly from the Natsume name and the difficulty of finding a complete PAL copy, not from cult status.
