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

North American variant of Natsume's ninja game, whose CIB value soars far above the PAL release while loose stays moderate. That gap reveals a specific trait: complete boxed copies have become scarce in the United States, where the game barely circulated at the end of the GBC's life. Its worth concentrates almost entirely on the complete-in-box copy, typical of a late, limited US push.
