TOKYO -- GungHo Online Entertainment, the Japanese developer of hit mobile game Puzzle & Dragons, looks to score another viral success with a Nintendo Switch title starring ninjas.

Ninjala, as the multiplayer beat-'em-up is called, places users in vastly navigable online settings. Players run up walls and battle each other across virtual towns using explosive "bubblegum ninjutsu." The game is due for a global release next spring.
