One Of Konami’s Best GBA Games Releases On Steam Next Month

Inquire with any Game Boy Advance games collector about their ultimate treasure, and it’s likely that Ninja Five-O will be among them. This cult-favorite action game from Konami, launched in 2003, typically commands a high price for physical GBA copies on the resale market. However, you can save significantly by preordering its upcoming digital release for PC, PS5, PS4, and Switch on February 25. On Fanatical, you can secure a 25% discount on a Ninja Five-O preorder, as the game is listed there for only $18.74.

If you’ve never experienced it before, Ninja Five-O immerses you in the role of Joe Osugi, a detective who uses his analytical intellect and ninja abilities to combat crime in the city of Zipangu. Similar to the original GBA game, you’ll confront the Mad Mask gang using your ninjutsu, and for those seeking an extra challenge, there’s a Time Trial mode to test your ninja skills. Improvements include the ability to quickly save your progress and rewind the game at any point to help navigate the more difficult stages.

If you’re trying to find a real copy of Ninja Five-O, you might want to explore Limited Run Games as well for a physical version. At the moment, it seems like they are out of stock, but keep their site bookmarked in case they restock later. The standard and collector’s editions were previously available, with the special edition offering some cool bonuses such as a stylish box, an original CD soundtrack, a strategy guide filled with behind-the-scenes content, and a holographic sticker sheet.
