One of GBA's Rarer Games Will Soon Be Readily Available on PS5, PS4 1

If you’re a collector of retro games, you’ll know it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get your hands on certain titles.

Ninja Five-O, a well-regarded GBA side-scroller from Konami, is one such title that’s pricey to buy these days. Cartridges do exist, but they cost $100s boxed, and that may well price many of you out.

The good news is that the title’s making a comeback on PS5 and PS4, with pre-orders available now ahead of the release’s 25th February launch. It’ll cost just $24.99.

“Ninja Five-O entrenches you into the epic and ruthless voyage of Joe Osugi, who is a detective and players become the Ninja Five-O,” the press release reads.

“Utilise a wide variety of masterful ninja skills to uphold justice by solving treacherous crimes such as bank heists and hijackings. Use unique Ninjutsu moves to protect the city of Zipangu and take down the evil Mad Mask bosses.”

In addition to perfect emulation of the original courtesy of the Carbon Engine, Konami is promising some quality-of-life improvements, such as the ability to rewind time and create save states at any moment. These are all pretty standard features for retro re-releases, but welcome ones nonetheless.
