description I-Ninja Overview
I-Ninja is a 3D action-platform game developed by Argonaut Games and released in 2003, with Namco publishing it in North America.

Which platforms was I-Ninja released on?
It came out in 2003 for PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. There was also a PC version in some markets, but the game never saw a digital re-release on modern consoles.
Can I play I-Ninja on PS4, PS5, Switch, or Xbox One?
No, there has been no remaster or official digital re-release, so playing it today means original discs on original hardware (or other means of running PS2-era software). Physical copies for all three console versions are still relatively inexpensive on the secondhand market.
What kind of gameplay does I-Ninja have?
It is a 3D action-platformer starring a short-tempered miniature ninja, mixing platforming stages, arena sword combat, vehicle sequences, and boss fights. Progression is tied to collecting grades from your performance, which unlock later stages.
