It’s time for a dose of nostalgia you may not even know you needed. ININ Games is bringing a pair of RPGs from the Ninja JaJaMaru series out in English for the first time in a collection fittingly titled Ninja JaJaMaru: The Lost RPGs. This includes 1989’s JaJaMaru: Ninpouchou and 1990’s JaJaMaru Gekimaden: Maboroshi no Kinmajou, both of which Jaleco originally developed for Nintendo Famicom in Japan.
