Code Mystics has added ADK’s 1996 fighting game Ninja Master's ~The Scroll of the Ninja Emperor~ to its Neo Geo Premium Selection lineup on Steam.
The announcement confirms the title will ship with modern updates common to the series, including online play built on rollback netcode, a training mode, an art gallery and unlockable achievements.
No release date has been provided.
The Neo Geo Premium Selection is a curated series of classic Neo Geo arcade and console releases that Code Mystics has been updating for contemporary platforms.
Previous entries in the range include Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers, Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle and World Heroes Perfect — all of which received similar feature sets such as online multiplayer and bonus galleries when re-released.
Ninja Master’s original development was handled by ADK and first released in 1996 for SNK’s Neo Geo system.
The game is noted for its blend of weapon-based combat and hand-to-hand fighting, mechanics that distinguished it from many contemporaries on the Neo Geo library.
Rewriting notable coverage, Nintendo Life observed in its 2012 review that Ninja Master's stands out among Neo Geo fighters for its distinctive combination of weapon and unarmed combat; the outlet likened its feel to a mix of Samurai Shodown and The King of Fighters, and said the weapon/hand-to-hand transitions add variety, though the core idea could have been expanded further.
Nintendo Life awarded the game an 8/10 score in that review.
Code Mystics has a track record of bringing Neo Geo titles to modern systems while adding online infrastructure and archival extras.
This latest announcement keeps that pattern intact by emphasizing rollback netcode — a contemporary standard for competitive fighting games — alongside single-player comforts like a gallery and training tools.
For now, the only confirmed platform is Steam and the release window remains unspecified.
Fans tracking Neo Geo Premium Selection updates on PC can expect further details and a release date from Code Mystics in future communications.
This listing brings another 1990s Neo Geo fighter back into circulation with modern netplay and preservation-focused extras, joining the roster of reissued classics on the platform.
