忍者大师：'s - Haoh-ninpo-cho
Ninja Master's: Haoh-ninpo-cho is a 2D fighting game developed by ADK in collaboration with SNK, released in arcades in 1996. Players choose from a roster of ninja and warrior characters, each with distinct weapon-based and unarmed fighting styles. A key mechanic allows players to switch between armed and disarmed combat mid-match, changing available moves and strategies. The game runs on SNK's Neo Geo MVS hardware and features one-on-one battles across multiple opponent stages, culminating in a final boss encounter. Special moves are executed through directional inputs combined with attack buttons, familiar to fans of the Neo Geo fighting scene. The visuals include large, detailed character sprites with fluid animation. A two-player versus mode is also available alongside the single-player arcade ladder.
