Summary
Little Ninja Brothers, the NES entry that introduced role‑playing mechanics to Culture Brain’s Super Chinese series, feels like a hidden gem from the late‑80s. While the original Japanese title is Super Chinese 2, the Western box proudly bears the more descriptive name that hints at its quirky ninja duo. The game arrived in Japan in May 1989 and made its way to North America and Europe a year or two later, riding the wave of the original Kung‑Fu Heroes’ modest success. What sets it apart is the blend of side‑scroll action with character stats, inventory and experience points—a formula that would become a staple in later Super Ninja Boy titles on the SNES. Even the contemporary press took note: Famitsu’s four reviewers gave it a mixed spread of scores, and the title earned enough fan love to spawn a short manga in early GamePro issues and a later inclusion in the 2004 Super Chinese I+II Advance GBA collection.
Storyline
In Little Ninja Brothers for the NES, the story centers on two young siblings, Jack and Ryu, who set out on a quest to uncover the mysterious cause behind the invasion of Chinaland. Their journey drives the game’s action as they seek answers to the puzzling aggression.
