The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Taito released plenty of games for the Genesis, but its Sega CD library wasn’t quite as robust. Some of the games that made it onto the add-on seem to have a “B grade” quality to them, and after playing The Ninja Warriors for the Japanese Mega CD, that assessment might actually be too generous.

I think the game might actually be worse than the film, and in this case, that’s saying something.
