Two ninjas take on a future emperor in Shadow of the Ninja (1990), Natsume's NES action about a seized city. Grapples, short blades, and rooftop routes carry the pair toward that ruler's stronghold.
European boxes retitle the same cartridge Blue Shadow. The stages and the emperor do not change with the box, only the name printed on it.
Natsume's future setting, with guns and a dictator rather than a historical warlord, is the backdrop. The two playable ninjas and the European retitle are the facts that separate this cart from other ninja names on the shelf.
Same series is the tight name match. Same franchise is the wider family. Same platform is other games on the systems named above.
