So the first 'Ninja Warriors' I clicked on here on Backlogg'd was a Super Nintendo one that had what I thought were shockingly high ratings. I am either radically out of step with people or there Super Nintendo one is very very different hahaha

This is barely a game. It's impossible to control, it moves incredibly slowly, it's unpleasant to look at and listen to. Absolutely could not play. Very, very unpleasant game.

Yeah, the Super Nintendo one isn't actually the same game. It's a sort of reboot/sequel? New stages, new mechanics, a new playable character- far and away the better game. The original arcade release aged like milk, for sure.

If you have a Switch / PS4, I'd actually recommend going for that game's remake, called Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors. It's pretty slick stuff!
Ooooooooooh I see! Thanks @rapid_progres!

I played the arcade port of this on PS4 and it is indeed terrible.
