More Sega Ages fun with Shinobi and Fantasy Zone

Beat em up Shinobi and pastel shooter Fantasy Zone are the latest arrivals on Switch from the Sega Ages range. Does that feel a bit week after the recent delights of Space Harrier, Virtua Racing and OutRun? Maybe, but there's got to be some audience for these origin-era classics.

In Shinobi, Ninjutsu master Joe Musashi returns in this classic side-scrolling platformer. He has been sent on a mission to single-handedly find and rescue all the children of the Oboro clan who have been kidnapped by a criminal syndicate known as ZEED. Utilize your sharp sword, shurikens, throwing knives, and even magic to defeat the enemy and free the hostages.




A pioneer of the "cute 'em up" genre, Fantasy Zone tells a surprisingly bleak tale about the mighty space warrior Opa-Opa's journey for revenge in a pastel-colored world. Defeat enemies to collect coins and power up Opa-Opa in order to rescue the world of Fantasy Zone in this exciting classic!
