Inin Games and NatsumeAtari have released a new trailer (https://youtu.be/o6FxFr80B1g?feature=shared) of Tengo Project?s upcoming remake, Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn. This one shows the new game side-by-side with the 1990 original.
If there?s one thing gamers love, it?s comparing things. Shadow of the Ninja is the oldest game that Tengo Project has remade from Natsume?s back catalog, and being on the NES, it was built on limited hardware. Rather than simply spruce up the game like with Wild Guns: Reloaded or create an entirely new entry in the series like Pocky & Rocky Reshrined (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-pocky-rocky-reshrined-switch-ps4-run-and-gun/), they?ve kind of found a comfortable place in between. The levels are reminiscent of the original, but everything has been overhauled (https://www.destructoid.com/shadow-of-the-ninja-reborn-is-the-next-retro-revival-from-tengo-project/) with new abilities and enemy placement.

I think it looks pretty great! Placed next to the remake, the 8-bit original looks incredibly sparse. It was actually a decent-looking game for the time period, but the NES was very restrictive when it came to how much you could jam on screen at one time. Tengo Project has already shown off some great pixel art chops with their previous games.
The remake will have new weapons, a new level, and an upgraded soundtrack by the original composer, Iku Mizutani.
I wonder where Tengo Project will go next. My first guess would be S.C.A.T. (https://www.mobygames.com/game/16526/scat-special-cybernetic-attack-team/), but what I?m really hoping for is Abadox (https://www.mobygames.com/game/11083/abadox-the-deadly-inner-war/). I guess we should wait and see how Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn turns out.
Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn is coming to Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in Summer 2024.
