Release

Ninja Commando was originally released for the Neo Geo arcade machines on May 29, 1992. The Neo Geo CD was released on October 31, 1994.[2]

The game has been re-released on the Wii's Virtual Console in North America on July 14, 2008 (though the Wii Virtual Console version, like most other Neo Geo games, only allows three continues per player, which makes the game very difficult to complete without saving progress). It was also re-released in December 2008 as one of five games in the PlayStation 2 game compilation ADK Damashii. The highest score is by Ian Albrecht with 177,150 points.[3]

Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed Ninja Commando on their June 15, 1992 issue as being the eleventh most-successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles such as

Famicom Tsūshin scored the Neo Geo version of the game a 25 out of 40.[6]
