We haven’t had any new games in the franchise since the abysmal Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z in 2014, but fans can now enjoy a digital restoration of the soundtracks to the original NES games overseeen by composer Keiji Yamagishi.
Available now on Bandcamp, the entire set contains the soundtrack of the first Ninja Gaiden game and its sequels, The Dark Sword of Chaos and The Ancient Ship of Doom.
The entire digital set is valued at $85, with each of the 118 individual songs being priced at $1. There are also limited vinyl editions available for €38.40. Each track has been remastered and presented in a way said to be true to the original composer’s vision.
Note that although no new Ninja Games have been announced as of yet, the series’ protagonist Ryu Hayabusa will appear in the upcoming crossover game Warriors All-Stars alongside Nioh’s William Adams.
