忍者外伝 マスターコレクション - ニンテンドースイッチ

The three games run buttery smooth in handheld mode, which surprised me given how fast the action gets. Loading times between stages are quick enough that I never felt pulled out of the experience. It’s a solid collection that keeps the intense combat intact.

I was worried how the combat would translate to handheld mode, but the button mapping is tight and responsive, making those tricky combo moves easy to pull off. Great to have three full games on the go.

Booting this up on the Switch feels like a time capsule in the best way—the action is just as blistering as I remember, and having all three games on one cart is a steal. It’s a straight port, so don’t expect any new bells and whistles, but the combat still hits that perfect, punishing rhythm.
