iiRcade Inc., a premium home arcade cabinet that allows gamers of all ages to play their favorite retro and modern games in arcade style at home, is pleased to announce that five more arcade titles officially licensed by TAITO are coming soon to the iiRcade Platform.
The five TAITO games include: THE LEGEND OF KAGE, THE NEWZEALAND STORY, ARABIAN MAGIC, THUNDER FOX and THE NINJA KIDS.
“TAITO was such an important player in the early days of video games, it revolutionized the industry. I know our iiRcadian family will love playing these classic games at home on their iiRcade machines,” said Jong Shin, founder & CEO of iiRcade.
More details on each game, all of which are arcade versions:
THE LEGEND OF KAGE is a side-scrolling hack-and-slash action game that was released on the arcades in 1985. The player takes the role of a mystical hero named Kage, on a mission to rescue Princess Kiri from the hands of fire-breathing monks, castle guards and evil ninjas.
THE NEWZEALAND STORY is a platformer arcade game from 1988. The player controls Tiki, a kiwi who must save his girlfriend Phee-Phee and several of his other kiwi chick friends who have been kidnapped by a large blue leopard seal.
ARABIAN MAGIC is a beat ’em up from 1992 that has seven different stages, each with one of the powerful enemies awaiting the player at the end of each level. Each boss enemy, once defeated, will drop a Jewel which forms a part of the Jewel of Seven Colors. The adventure to restore peace to the kingdom now begins.
THUNDER FOX is a 1990 run-and-gun shooter that takes place in the year 199X, when the world was lost in a vortex of terror. Malicious terrorism gripped the land, the sky, and the sea. There were two brave men who fought against this reign of violence. They were the anti-terrorism team, “THUNDER FOX”.
THE NINJA KIDS is a 2D belt-scrolling brawler developed and released by TAITO for arcades in 1990. Players take control of one of four puppet ninja kids -Hanzo, Sasuke, Akane, and Genta as they fight the forces of a satanic cult in a modern-day city.
