Ninja Master's Finally Hits Steam, Armed with Rollback Netcode

Get ready, retro fighting fans! SNK is finally bringing the 1996 NEOGEO cult classic, Ninja Master's, to Steam. This isn't just a re-release; it's the game's PC debut, complete with the essential rollback netcode that modern fighting game enthusiasts demand.

Ninja Master's stood out in its era for its serious tone and unique combat system. Players could seamlessly switch between armed and unarmed styles, adding a deep layer of strategy to its high-speed battles. Set in a war-torn feudal Zipangu, the game features a cast of 12 distinct warriors, including Sasuke and the elegant kunoichi Kasumi, all challenging the tyrant Nobunaga.

This Steam version packs a serious punch with quality-of-life upgrades. Beyond the stable online play powered by rollback netcode, expect 9-player lobbies, various tournament formats, and a comprehensive Practice Mode with speed adjustment for combo training. Solo players can also dive into Time Attack and a Gallery Mode brimming with rare artwork. While a release date is still under wraps, this truly is the most complete way to experience Ninja Master's, making a significant splash for NEOGEO faithful.
