It never really had a strong identity, but Jaleco was going to throw it against the wall as many times as it could until it finally stuck. It never stuck. Reinvention didn’t work. The biggest offshoot wasNinja Jajamaru-Kun’sattempts at JRPGs, but 1991’sNinja Jajamaru Ginga Daisakusenfor Famicom is perhaps the one that feels most desperate....
