Play Ninjara Hoi! (Japan) Online
Toss shurikens at pajama-clad goons while dodging floating heads and bottomless pits—it’s that kind of late-night ninja fever dream where the jank somehow feels intentional. The chiptune soundtrack worms its way into your brain between all the "hoi!" yells and pit deaths.
Ninjara Hoi! came out for the NES in 1990, published by Atlus. It was part of that wave of late 80s and early 90s action platformers, the kind that filled rental store shelves with colorful boxes and straightforward, often punishing, challenges. You play as a young ninja tasked with rescuing a princess, moving screen by screen through enemy-filled stages.
You control the ninja with a simple move set: running, jumping, and throwing shurikens at a steady stream of pajama-clad enemies and floating demon heads. The main goal is to reach the end of each stage without falling into the many bottomless pits or taking too many hits. The game uses a lives and continues system, and the difficulty ramps up quickly with precise platforming and enemy patterns to memorize. It feels like a test of patience and repetition, where each small victory comes from learning exactly when to jump and where to aim.
