Concerns with online reliability cited
GungHo has delayedNinjala–a bubblegum-blowing, bat-swinging, kid-ninja multiplayer action game for Nintendo Switch–until spring 2020. That’s one year later than previously planned.
The extra production time will go toward creating “a more reliable online experience” and “adding more content,” according to executive producer Kazuki Morishita. Here’s a much-needed refresher.
I triedNinjalaat E3 2018 (you couldn’t miss GungHo’s eye-catching booth display), and while it falls short of Nintendo’s expertly-tonedSplatoonseries, it has a few neat ideas that are worth getting right.
“Blowing a comically large bubble to make a ridiculously long baseball bat kept me entertained during both of the rounds ofNinjalaI played,”past-me said at the timewhile dreaming about Big League Chew. “I would’ve liked to have tested out more weapon types (like the grayed-out yo-yo), and I struggled with a lack of good lock-on options, but there’s something to this gum-loving ninja concept for sure.”
I was wondering whatever came ofNinjala. Nice to know it’s still happening.
