THE FUSE

I have a confession to make; until a few weeks ago, I had completely forgotten that Ninjala existed, and at the same time, I learned that not only had the game become a successful multimedia franchise, but it was set to shortly receive a sequel exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. While I knew that the first game had launched exclusively on the Nintendo Switch in 2020, admittedly, I hadn’t thought much of it since demoing it offhand at, I assume, what must have been either E3 2018 or 2019. Since then, it has spawned a manga, a 200+ episode anime, and now a full-fledged sequel exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. Honestly, it’s hard not to feel like I missed this series having an entire moment, but honestly? I’m kinda here for it.
