Ninja Assault (2000) Review



A pamphlet for Namco’s Ninja Assault arcade game.

DJ Benvenuto the "angry" Raccoon has this to say:

(Wrote this yesterday but had computer trouble...)

Well, here I was updating The Funk and I was about half way into my update (one pretty big paragraph) and I accidentally delete what I wrote... I am angry.

What I was saying in that paragraph or so was that we need our bush back... And I miss the big metal plank that we had also hidden in there...

We need to see what develops from the whole bush fiasco...

I’m very shocked that this happened...

We need to make the cacti grow quicker...

That was what I had said before everything disappeared except it was much longer and detailed.

Now enough on that. I don’t want to type the same thing twice.

RIA went to the local arcade on Thursday. We did the usual stuff. Play DDR... play DDR... play DDR.

Then we walked by and noticed that the Ninja Assault game was beckoning us to continue somebody else’s game. So we started to shoot down some ninjas.

For those of you who haven’t run into this game called Ninja Assault, let me explain what it’s about. It’s a shooting game with ninjas in medieval Japan, before they even had guns.

The opening cinema and the rest of the game has some of the worst voice acting you’ll hear. The cinema introduces “The demon shogun Kigai” and “Princess Koto.”

It also shows us our “Two brave Ninjers of jastis.” Yes, the ones with the guns. Princess Koto gets kidnapped and the two gun-toting ninjas have to save her. So off they go shooting every sword wielding (kinda unfair don’t you think?) ninja they cross.

Like any shooting game, this involves a lot of killing, but this game takes it to the extremes. Boss after relentless boss the game just forces you to spend dollar after dollar in order to beat it. I kid you not, at times there is so much action on screen you can barely see what is going on.

This isn’t your standard 3 or 4 level shooting game. It has 5 or 6 levels with some of the most annoying bosses you will see.

Now, you say, “That game sounds like no fun! Why play it?” I say, the voice acting is the reason to play it. Trust me. It is some of the funniest voice acting you will hear. It’s basically a Japanese guy that can barely speak English, reading everybody’s part.

Enough. I grow tired of this...

Go play it or at least watch the opening movie... it’s free.

“Come on why don’t you sleep with me?”

Princess Koto.”

“I small har parfume.”
