The iconic Game Boy Advance game Ninja Five-O is undergoing a modern makeover this year. Renowned for reviving retro titles, Limited Run Games is breathing new life into this Konami classic, much to the delight of vintage Game Boy Advance enthusiasts.

Ninja Five-O first graced the GBA scene in 2003 and quickly earned a spot among the platform's top games. Drawing inspiration from legendary titles like Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi, the game follows Joe Osugi, a ninja battling a group of magic-wielding terrorists. Its exceptional gameplay and level design catapulted Ninja Five-O to sleeper hit status, albeit with a hefty price tag in the resale market, fueling anticipation for a remaster.

Excitingly, Limited Run Games has revealed plans to bring Ninja Five-O to Steam, Switch, PS4, and PS5 later this year. Powered by the Carbon Engine, a proprietary development tool, the remaster aims to faithfully recreate the original experience while enhancing resolution and gameplay for seamless modern play. Details on the release date, pricing, and potential special edition remain scarce for now.

In a double treat for retro gaming enthusiasts, Konami and Limited Run Games have joined forces to revive two more classics – Felix the Cat and Rocket Knight Adventures, leveraging the Carbon Engine for their modern ports.

Lauded for their high-quality ports, Limited Run Games previously revitalized several Jurassic Park titles from the 90s, including the original and Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues, showcasing their dedication to preserving gaming history.

Another eagerly anticipated project by Limited Run Games is the remaster of the Gex Trilogy, featuring the beloved lizard character that captured hearts in the 90s. Although announced last year, the release date for this project remains elusive, hinting at a possible wait for fans eager to re-experience Ninja Five-O.
