Play Kid Niki Online
You play as a tiny ninja spinning a goofy sword, flipping through levels and barely dodging surprise bosses—it’s chaotic but weirdly smooth once you get the hang of it.
Kid Niki was a Game Boy release from Irem, a port of an arcade game that fit right in with the platform's early library of straightforward action titles. It didn't try to be anything more than a competent, portable version of its bigger sibling, offering a familiar kind of side-scrolling challenge for players on the go.
You control a young ninja named Kid Niki, moving him through a series of themed stages to rescue a princess. Your primary tool is a spinning sword attack that creates a temporary shield around you, which is essential for deflecting enemy projectiles and breaking certain blocks. The game progresses screen by screen, locking you in small arenas until you defeat every enemy that appears. The pacing is relentless, with enemies spawning quickly and bosses that demand quick reflexes. It feels like a constant, frantic scramble where survival depends on mastering that spinning blade.
