Play Kamen no Ninja - Hanamaru Online – Nintendo (NES) Game

Game Overview

Step into the colorful, action-packed world of Kamen no Ninja - Hanamaru, a hidden gem from the NES era that blends classic ninja action with a playful, almost whimsical charm. You play as Hanamaru, a nimble little ninja on a mission to rescue a kidnapped princess, slashing through enemies with your trusty sword and tossing shurikens like candy at a festival. What sets this game apart? Its vibrant, almost cartoonish visuals and surprisingly tight controls make it feel like a lost Mega Man meets Ninja Gaiden—but with a lighter, more approachable vibe.

While it never got the same spotlight as its harder-hitting ninja cousins, Hanamaru has a quirky personality all its own—think bouncing on clouds, dodging giant rolling Daruma dolls, and battling screen-filling bosses that feel ripped from a child’s wild imagination. If you’re a retro fan hungry for something off the beaten path, this one’s a delightful slice of NES nostalgia that’s equal parts challenging and charming. Just don’t let the cute graphics fool you—those jumps demand precision!
