Backlog Arcade Ep 10 - Shadow Warriors

Welcome back to Backlog Arcade!
In this episode, we’re diving into the gritty, action-packed world of Shadow Warriors — the classic arcade beat 'em up that set the stage for so many side-scrolling brawlers to come. Known in some regions as Ninja Gaiden, this game hit arcades in the late '80s and delivered intense ninja combat, cinematic cutscenes, and unforgettable enemy encounters.

Join me as I share my personal memories of playing Shadow Warriors as a kid, break down some interesting background and trivia about the game's development, and then jump straight into the action with a full gameplay session.

Whether you grew up feeding quarters into arcade machines or you're just discovering this retro gem for the first time, this episode is packed with nostalgia and ninja fury!
