Arcade Archives: Mirai Ninja

Mirai Ninja is a 1988 platform video game developed and published by Namco for arcades. It was only released in Japan in December 1988. It was adapted into the Japanese live-action film of the same name, which was concurrently developed and produced by Namco as their first film. Character designs and directing of the film were done by Keita Amemiya of Zeiram and Kamen Rider fame. Although the arcade game was only released in Japan, the film was released direct-to-video overseas by Mondo Pop. The game was only moderately successful. Hamster Corporation released it outside Japan for the first time as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in 2021.
