Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn Demo Available on Xbox and Nintendo Switch; PlayStation Coming Soon

ININ Games announced a demo for Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn is now available on Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. A PlayStation version is expected to release later this month.

Long standing gamers might remember Shadow of the Ninja original release on NES back in 1990. The original version released to a fair amount of praise, with many outlets comparing it to Ninja Gaiden.

Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn takes that base and improves it by giving it better visuals, revamped OST, and more.
