Games like the ninja warriors

The Ninja Warriors (ニンジャウォーリアーズ) is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game developed and released by Taito in 1987. The original arcade game situated one display in between projected images of two other displays, creating the appearance of a triple-wide screen. Ports were released for the Amiga, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, TurboGrafx-16, and Mega-CD.

A remake and a sequel, The Ninja Warriors Again, was developed by Natsume and released in 1994, followed by its remaster The Ninja Warriors Once Again released in 2019.

The Ninja Warriors presents side-scrolling hand-to-hand combat. Players take control of Kunoichi (player 1) or Ninja (player 2) and fight wave after wave of Banglar forces across six levels. Button 1 attacks with a short-range kunai slash, while button 2 fires long-range shurikens that are limited in supply.
