This Last Ninja wields a mean classical guitar

Another week, another tonne of visits to our original ‘Last Ninja Remake‘ post. There’s some serious interest out there for this project… great to see.

In the meantime, have a listen to this amazing rendition of the original game’s main theme, on classical guitar!

Wow.
Just wow.

Thanks to J-OMG reader Harvey for the headsup.

Still Stealthy. Still Alive. The Final Ninja.

Here at J-OMG we’ve had a HUGE amount of traffic in recent months to our Final Ninja ‘screenshot comparison‘, but no news.

That’s not good enough.

So I put the makers, Stu & Smila in a small room, shine a light in their faces, and asked the hard questions.

• What’s the ‘latest’ you can tell the fans about Final Ninja?
• Got any screenshots to keep the excitable J-OMG readers at bay?
• How are you going with the improvements you were planning?
• Where we YOU at 7.22pm on April 7th*?

*Just wondering; I lost my keys that night and needed a lift.

Exclusive: First 5 screens from Last Ninja remake

Earlier this year, J-OMG was first with the news that C64 class The Last Ninja was being remade for the PC. This daunting task, was being undertaken by Trevor ‘Smila’ Story and Stu Collier – makers of the Armalyte remake we reviewed back in March.

Today, I’m pleased to present the world’s first look at 5 screens from level 1 of The Final Ninja. To help refresh your memory, I’ve alternated a screenshot from the original title, with the relevant pic from the remake.

And now, on with the show…

C64 classic The Last Ninja – coming to PC

Awesome news for C64 fans.

Fresh from finishing work on the PC remake of Armalyte (due out in April), well known game remaker Trevor ‘Smila’ Storey, has revealed his latest project. He’s working on a fan remake of System 3’s classy isometric ninja-em-up, The Last Ninja.

So far, all we have is a single screenshot. (And a promise to include ‘better controls’)

Of course, TLN is such a huge game, it’s going to be a big project. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re looking at a 2011 release.

In the meantime, we’ve contacted Smila for some more details – expect an update here soon!
