Natsume! From Shadow of the Ninja to Shatterhand, this Konami spinoff studio had a real talent for creating quality 8-bit platformers. Over in Japan, though, the company produced some truly surprising stuff that's little known in the west. Let's play Natsume's complete NES and Famicom libraries and see if we can discover some new favorites!
