It's also possibly the most violent first-party Nintendo release ever, at least until Metroid Prime or Smash Bros. came along. I can't think of another game by Nintendo where you go around slashing up ninjas with a samurai sword.

Awesome, essential game that the West totally missed out on. Get it if you can!

...and don't expect to breeze through it. From the 3rd level on the game gets impossible. Memorization and a lot of luck are key. You'll be playing the same levels over and over again for about an hour until you get it right.
Did Miyamoto work on that one?

He's not credited as the director or lead designer.

Also, it is a fun/common FDS game that anybody who has a working FDS should give a go.
