The Video Game Critic
Enemies include boomerang-tossing brutes and humanoid robots that break in two, forcing you to deal with their running legs and flying torsos. Then there are those hyperactive ninjas who attempt to push you around the screen. You'll be wise to avoid these guys whenever possible! Additional hazards include steam vents and mechanical mice. The stages are challenging but mercifully short. If there's one problem with Shadow, it's the lack of a score. Forging through the game is fun, but it would be nice to have a way to gauge your performance when you fall short. Still, for non-stop action you can enjoy with a friend, Shadow of the Ninja is a blast.

Em uma terra distante, Garuda é um tirano. Várias foram as tentativas de destroná-lo, todas em vão. Mas, você e um amigo, que podem jogar simultaneamente, serão os bravos guerreiros ninja que poderão derrotar Garuda em 7 fases.

Retrogaming History
Alla fine, i veri punti di forza di Shadow of the Ninja sono la rapidità dell'azione e soprattutto il fatto che si possa giocare in due contemporaneamente, non una cosa così comune ai tempi del NES; in definitiva il titolo non verrà certo ricordato come un capolavoro ma è comunque un buon gioco sufficientemente accattivante e ben realizzato per il periodo. Natsume riconferma la sua capacità di sfornare buoni giochi d'azione per lo scatolotto Nintendo.

Another ninja game with detailed graphics and Ninja Gaiden-like action may seem unnecessary. Shadow of the Ninja from Natsume, though, adds a new twist with two-player simultaneous action and great play control.
