Jaleco series Ninja Jajamaru-kun, which originally began in Japan on the Famicom, is getting a collection of all five games in the series, with one extra brand-new game, subtitled The Great Youkai Operation.

In the Ninja Jajamaru series, players play as Jajamaru-kun, the brother of Ninja-kun from Ninja-Kid. You fight to defeat all eight youkai in each stage, collecting their spirits for extra points, all in order to save Princess Sakura, who has been kidnapped.
