Saturday Bosscade - Ninja Master's

                      


Saturday Bosscade, this week featured the 1996 ADK arcade fighter, Ninja Master's or "Haoh Ninpo Cho". The game features a mix of standard 2D fighting and weapons based fighting and a preset combo system that can be identified by blue shadows and character flashes.  While the game suffers from the standard difficulty spike in the fourth matchup, which is a standard of most arcade fighters, it still can be entertaining and the challenge isn't as bad once you figure out the patterns, and counter-attack in kind. The featured characters are of course based on Japanese history and mythology, from Sarutobi Sauske to the oft used Oda Nobunaga being the SNK Boss syndrome default end obstacle.  To be fair, compared to other SNK arcade classics, this one was manageable in terms of difficulty. It's no Savage Reign, but it's certainly not for the faint of heart, either..



- See you Next Bossfight!
