Sonic the Ninja

Sonic the Ninja is a launch title for the Nintendo Share. It is the third game in the Sonic Storybook series, being a sequel to Sonic and the Black Night.
The game is developed by BiggestKirbyFanEver1994 and published by Sega.
== Gameplay ==
Gameplay for Sonic the Ninja is similar to Sonic and the Secret Rings. Players control Sonic with the Joy-Con L or Joy-Con R by holding the controller sideways with both hands and use the controller in unique ways that take advantage of the Joy-Con's control mechanisms. Unlike other Sonic games, in which Sonic is controlled directly, Sonic the Ninja features an indirect "on-rails" method of control in which Sonic moves forward automatically in a semi-linear path. Sonic's movement can be controlled by tilting the controller left or right.
As with the other games in the Sonic Storybook series, Sonic the Ninja takes place inside a story world; in this case, the story this time around is "The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya" (in Japanese, it is known as "児雷也豪傑物語", translating to "Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari").
The game also has a 2-player mode where player 1 controls Sonic on the top screen with the Joy-Con L and player 2 controls Jiraiya on the bottom
