Spoilers ahead!<\/p>\n<p>UPL&#8217;s 1984 <strong>Ninja-Kid<\/strong> kick-started the whole <strong>Ninja JaJaMaru-kun<\/strong> series that would go to delight gamers at home thanks to several 8-bit entries for both Famicom and Game Boy and even a single Super Famicom entry all by the hands of Jaleco. A charming yet hardcore platformer that, despite being three decades old and long-surpassed by its own sequel, still retains its own addictive qualities.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>One year later, Nichibutsu&#8217;s 1985 <strong>Terra Cresta<\/strong> changed the landscapes for shmup generations to come. Ditching the single-screen nature of the original <strong>Moon Cresta<\/strong>, this revered shmup brought TATE scrolling action to arcades and later to Famicom owners at home, thanks to an incredibly faithful conversion. Instead of weapon power-ups, you could actually collect other ships that provided fire-power upgrades and even the ability to fly in different formations. A revolutionary shmup that also still plays brilliantly today.<\/p>\n<p>No word on when these two classics will be arriving, but no doubt they&#8217;ll fall into HAMSTER&#8217;s weekly release schedule nicely.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>An exciting leak into the future of the Switch Arcade Archives series!
