TouchArcade: More old games are coming back, y'all! I don't know if iOS 8 was just that destructive of an update to a bunch of games that developers felt the need to update their classics or if this is just all coincidental, but we're seeing a lot of games make comebacks after a long while. And the latest on that list is 1-bit Ninja [$2.99], which has just been updated to support iOS 8, and throws in long-overdue iPhone 5,6, and 6 Plus support, and makes the game universal for iPad.
TouchArcade: I think it's safe to call 1-Bit Ninja [$2.99] an App Store classic now, which makes 1-Bit Ninja Retro Remix [$1.99] even more interesting as it takes the original formula but gives it a new slightly to the side view.

STP writes: 1-bit Ninja is like a bad sequel to a great movie: You want to love it, but no matter how hard you try, you simply can’t. Not only that, but the screenshots show the best parts of the game-- the retro visuals-- while the game itself leaves something to be desired.
