Ninja Combat
Play this classic Action game on your R36S handheld with ArkOS emulation, save states, and customisable controls.
📝About This Game
A classic Action game from the Neo Geo CD era, Ninja Combat offers the kind of gameplay that defined a generation of retro gaming. Games run at full speed, but the Neo Geo CD loaded slowly on real hardware and emulation reproduces that faithfully — expect waits between rounds. Requires the Neo Geo CD BIOS. Where a title also exists as a cartridge ROM, the cartridge version plays better.

🔥About Neo Geo CD
SNK's 1994 CD console offered the Neo Geo arcade library at a fraction of the cartridge price, with arranged CD soundtracks. The trade-off was loading: the cartridge originals streamed instantly, the CD version did not.
R36S Compatibility (Playable): Games run at full speed, but the Neo Geo CD loaded slowly on real hardware and emulation reproduces that faithfully — expect waits between rounds. Requires the Neo Geo CD BIOS. Where a title also exists as a cartridge ROM, the cartridge version plays better.
