Game Description
Ninja Assault is a fast-paced, arcade-style light gun shooter that transports players to a mythical version of feudal Japan. Developed by Namco, the game follows ninjas Guren and Gunjo on a mission to rescue Princess Koto from the evil Shogun Kigai. Players battle through hordes of demons and enemy ninjas across various environments, utilizing quick reflexes and precision shooting.
The game supports both the Namco GunCon 2 light gun and the standard PlayStation 2 DualShock 2 controller. While the DualShock 2 allows for traditional gameplay, the GunCon 2 offers a more immersive experience, closely replicating the arcade feel. The GunCon 2 connects via the PS2's USB port and requires a CRT television for accurate light gun functionality.
Gameplay Features
- On-rails shooter with multiple branching paths and enemy types
- Supports both single-player and two-player cooperative modes
- Compatible with Namco GunCon 2 light gun and standard DualShock 2 controller
- Includes additional mini-games and training modes to enhance replayability
- Features a unique setting blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with supernatural elements
Controller Compatibility
Ninja Assault is fully compatible with the Namco GunCon 2 light gun, providing an authentic arcade shooting experience. The GunCon 2 connects to the PlayStation 2 via USB and requires a CRT television to function correctly. For players without a light gun or CRT TV, the game can also be played using the standard DualShock 2 controller, though this method offers a different gameplay experience.
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Ninja Assault originated in arcades and was ported to the PlayStation 2 in response to the growing popularity of home light gun games in the early 2000s. Though not as widely known as Time Crisis, it gained a cult following for its stylish presentation and over-the-top ninja theme. The GunCon 2 support made it a standout for collectors, and complete boxed sets including the light gun are now considered hidden gems in the PS2 library.
