Great video.
Pity we never got the arcade System 18 ver. of Shadow Dancer at home.

I couldn't watched the video right now in my office,
but is it more complete than the Harcoregaming101 article?
Since the article even included the two Asian mobile version games.

Edit : Just watched it. Ok, it's more complete since it contains The LCD version of Shinobi.

Indeed. It would have been cool to have a two-pack that contained the original arcade Shinobi and the arcade Shadow Dancer for the Genesis, or to be arcade-perfect, the Saturn.
The Master System version of Shadow Dancer is actually quite faithful to the arcade version. Unfortunately it omits some of the stages, probably in order to squeeze it into a two mega cartridge. But the sprites and backgrounds seem to be adapted directly from the coin-op.

Honestly, I'd never heard of the game 'Shadow Dancer' until the spring of 1990. I first learned of Shadow Dancer's existence
where I read a question about it published in EGM's Interface: Letters To The Editor.

Developer Retrospective: A look back at the games of SEGA’s Overworks
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2015-02-09-at-1.57.36-PM-213x300.png)
Despite being generally well received by critics, Shinobi (2002) is notoriously difficult.
While the first few stages are quite easy, eventually players encounter stages that run longer than ten minutes in length with zero checkpoints in place and instant deaths over bottomless pits requiring expert platforming.
In addition to this, Hotsuma’s soul consuming blade also drains him of his energy, meaning players must constantly be killing foes to survive.

The History of Sega Japan R&D
(https://i.makeagif.com/media/1-29-2016/aCQ6IK.gif)
Yutaka Sugano directed and designed the very first Shinobi as well as CrackDown on the System 16 arcade hardware.
Like Ooka, he also stuck around at Sega, but mainly in the background.
He went overseas to assist on Sonic titles like Sonic 2 and Spinball, and then produced titles in Europe that came from Japan
– like the The House of the Dead arcade port that was made in Europe.

Shinobi’s tribute to After Burner
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/shinobiafterburner.jpg)
An entire stage of the game takes place within the bowels of After Burner’s aircraft carrier, as Jiro Musashi fights off the invading forces of Zeed.
As the level reaches its end things reach their climax, as Jiro hops aboard an F-14 and…the After Burner theme begins to play.
What follows is probably one of the coolest and most unexpected team ups in gaming history as Jiro Musashi and the After Burner jet work together to fight off the forces of Zeed in a crazy ninja battle slash aerial dogfight.

SEGA Game Gear Micro Hardware Review – Bite-Sized Nostalgia
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/GGM-Red-Back.jpg)
The RED Game Gar Micro is the most attractive of the bunch, and the color is based off of three original Game Gears: a basic red, a Coca-Cola branded red and a Magic Knight Rayearth red.
The game selections suggest that the original red model was the inspiration, as there is no Magic Knight Rayeath to be found.
Instead, the game lineup includes the ATLUS developed Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible, its followup Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special, The GG Shinobi and Columns.
It’s difficult for me to suggest the red model to anybody but hardcore ATLUS or Shinobi fans.
Unless you are buying the four Micro bundle, I would say pass on importing solely the red model.

Shadow Gang - A Ninja Action Game Heavily Inspired by the Shinobi
is Coming to Nintendo Switch on January 7th, 2021
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4U_eapqHeE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vJD27C2HJU
Ninjas in 2020, though? Not so much. They're still around, but they're nowhere near as popular, which is why Shadow Gangs has really caught our attention – it's arguably as close as we're going to get to a new Shinobi game these days, and seems to understand precisely what made those older coin-op hits so appealing.

Astro City Mini Review: The Perfect Way To End SEGA’s 60th Anniversary?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mitvLFDWCcs
The years come and go, it is now 2021 and I finally put together a review for SEGA Toy’s Astro City Mini.
The unit has a lot of things going for it that makes it a must own device, but at the same time has some glaring flaws that we need to discuss.

Limited Run Games releasing an English package version of the SEGA Astro City Mini

The Limited Run version of the SEGA Astro City Mini will only be limited to 3,500 units, which will probably make this version sought after in the collectors market compared to the regular Japanese version.
As far as I know, the SEGA Astro City Mini unit included inside the English packaging is exactly the same as the Japanese retail unit.

Shinobi is only on PlayStation 2 (physically) or PlayStation 3 via PSN, as much as I like the PlayStation 2, its picture quality is terrible.
I’d highly suggest playing it on the PlayStation 3 since it also cleans up the picture quite a bit.

Dog Day has been created so that all breeds of dogs are celebrated; mixed and pure.
The day helps to galvanize the public so that they can recognise the number of dogs that must be rescued on a yearly basis, from pure breed rescuers, rescues, and public shelters.

"After ten thousand years, the once-banished Dark Ninja returns to make another attempt to take over the Miracle World.
Someone's definitely got to stop him! Guess who dares to meet the challenge?
You! You're Alex Kidd, the prince who knows no fear."

I forgot Alex Kidd went to Shinobi world. Wasn't he the first mascot to did crossovers with other games owned by the same company?
Not including Donkey Kong who started on a Mario game.

Wasn't Pac-Man showing up in Kick before AKiSW?
Or that's considered as guess staring, not crossover?
-
Hm... dunno. Back the the definition of cameo and crossover wasn't set in stone. Might had been more of a cameo.

I think cameo if he only showed up for a brief moment.

60hz Normal Game Speed Hack of Shinobi X - Shin Shinobi Den (Sega Saturn)
(https://i.gifer.com/A8qd.gif)
This hack converts the 50hz PAL release of Shinobi X - Shin Shinobi Den (aka Shinobi Legions) to run at 60hz NTSC, with normal game speed.
This release of the game contains a new soundtrack in the style of Yuzo Koshiro’s contributions to The Revenge of Shinobi.
You will need a Redump compliant copy of the game and emulator or ODE capable of running CUE/BIN dumps.
It is verified to work on a JP VA0 Model 1 with Fenrir 20-pin, JP Model 2 Saturn with Satiator, and SSF R26.
Lunar IPS was used to create the patch and test on unmodified copies.

Moonrider Is A Project That Has 16-Bit Strider And Shinobi Vibes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ri10O0Oh6c
Intriguingly this started out as a side-project for Dias.
Way back in January 2017 he posted initial progress on the outerspace.com forum, with an early version of stage 1-1 completed at that time.
It now seems to be a fully-fledged project in the JoyMasher team. On the studio's own YouTube channel, which seems to be mostly used for in-progress videos as opposed to trailers and promotion, there are multiple videos of Moonrider in the form of stage previews and soundtrack clips.

Can you imagine if they take SHinobi in that direction? After him defeating Zeed, ends up fighting various tropes like dinosaurs, cowboys, pirates or something like that per game.

Or make them separated.
Shinobi in Wild West World
Shinobi in Atlantic World
Shinobi in Greek Mythologies World
Sound great, right?
I always like bosses in Shinobi games :

They always look cool and scary.
Many bosses from different tropes would make it more epic.

Yeah, pity though Shinobi is usually overshadows by the Ninja Gaiden games though.

Yes, kinda sad since Shinobi was the first true ninja platformer experience in arcade.
Shinobi's coming first in 1987, while Ninja Gaiden's in 1988.
Also people tend to forget that Ninja Gaiden started as a beat em up game.
Ninja who punches and kicks the enemies openly.

Yeah what sucks is Sega were founders to video game genres that are still being used to this day, but the founding games are mostly backseated to the modern audience.
For example, you like popular fighting games like Tekken, Dead or Alive or SoulCalibur? You have Virtua Fighter to thanks for that.

Not very Ninja-like is it? Sounds like Ninja Gaiden was trying to rip off Streets of Rage. Then Sega made an even better ninja game and NG ripped off Shinobi. But the rip-off ended up more popular than Shinobi.

DOA franchise at least had showed their respect by adding Sarah, Pai, Jacky, and Akira in DOA5.
They looks good and play smooth too in there.
Loved to play them in my PS Vita back then.

Yes, but very minor.
It's just basically they're saying hi to each other and then fight.
Story's still focused on DOA characters.

I know, just Iwouldn't mind a proper story mode for Virtua Fighter. There is stories written in the manuals and some sort of over-arching story throughout the game involving a group of contenders conflict with the J6 but that's about it.
This is why Tekken and DOA are more popular than Virtua Fighter, because these franchises fleshed out their fighters into interesting people than just fighters.
-
Agree, it's harder to get attached to the characters if there's no story involved.
-
Agree, it's harder to get attached to the characters if there's no story involved.
Virtua Fighter depict the fighters mostly stereotypical to a fault.
Akira Yuki is super-serious kung-fu fighter.
Jacky Bryant is hotheaded, sporty fighter. I think he is friends with Akira. This is only evident in S&SASR.
Sarah Bryant is Jacky's sister. I think she's a model? I dunno, that's all I know of her.
Pai Chan is sterotypical chinese fighter lady. Her personality is daddy issues and maybe crush on Akira Yuki but I dunno.
Lau Chan is Pai's dad. I think he's all serious martial arts instructor. Maybe business man I think, if he is probably something to do with J6 but I don't know.
Kage Maru is a ninja. I think he's looking for his mother.
Wolf Hawkfield is a wrestler. He's from Canada.
Jeffry McWild is just a burly australian. I didn't know he was a fisherman until later.
Dural is a gynoid-like being created by the evil organization Judgement Six. She is programmed to fight with an amalgamation of various moves from fighters throughout the game. Beating her ends with a cutscene showing that she was actually Kage Maru's mother all along revealing she was a cyborg. Dural returns in future games, either a cyborg victim of other women or her own robot. Eitherway Dural has more established backstory in the games than any other fighter.
I know Virtua Fighter games added more characters, but other than the summery of backstory provided to them what else do you know about them?
It's more evident is the anime when the show went ahead and turned Akira Yuki into a Goku-like goof, which is probably the right thing to do given Akira's original personality is "Shut up, I'm training."
Meanwhile, Tekken, Dead or Alive, Street Fighter hell even Fatal Fury get's story modes in their games as well as TV series, video specials and even cinematic movies now and again which thoroughly expands on each and every characters personality. Their motivation and why these characters are more than their stereotype.
-
Yeah, all of their backstory I only knew from anime, magazines, and game's manual book.
Nothing from the game (not counting game gear version since it's basically from anime).
Outside from the anime I only know these (from magazine and manual book) :
1. I remember reading in magazine that deep inside Sarah hates Jacky for being overprotective.
That's why she's kinda easy to be brainwashed into fighting him (compared to Vanessa) since the root is already there.
That's rather different in anime. They're super close in the anime.
2. Akira is defeated by Kage-Maru in fourth tournament and having a breakdown for a while.
3. Jeffry is searching for his rival (Devil Shark) that has been kidnapped by J6.
4. Pai realizes that Lau didn't have long to live and finally respect his desire to pursue ultimate strength.
5. Eileen kinda had a crush on Pai. (If this game was on Switch, I'd definitely put the game in this thread (http://segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=4600.0)). She enters the tournament in order to get to close to her.
6. Lei Fei's goal is to defeeat Lau to see the secret of Ko'en-ken.
7. Aoi is the type of a girl who get frustated easily every time she loses. The only way to get rid of her frustation is by entering tournament and fight again.
8. Goh is ordered by J6 to kill someone in tournament but his plan is ruined by Dural's appearance and hates Dural since then.
9. Kage is just like what you said. To save the soul of his mother.
10. Lion enter the tournament to learn about his father's involvement with J6.
11. Brad is a playboy but her preference is strong women. That's his motivation to enter the tournament.
12. Shun Di is searching for his student that has been kidnapped by J6.
13. Lau is ready to face the last fight of his life.
14. El Blaze is feeling jealous in Wolf's victories in the heavyweight division. He wanted to surpass him.
15. Wolf saw a small mark on Dural's body that was very similar to symbol he had seen in his nightmares. He wanted to know what it was.
16. Vanessa volunteered herself to protect Sarah from J6 but then got back to Jacky's house unconscious and some memory of hers was missing. Probably J6 tried to brainwwashed her but failed and she escaped. She enters the fifth tournament in order to get a clue what happened.
17. Jacky wanted to destroy J6 so that Sarah could live a normal life. After what happened to Vanessa, he enters the fifth tournament to help her too.
The reason of fighting for each character indeed exists. SEGA is just too lazy to put in the game.
-
Because some of these magazines were not available to me I didn't even know half these stories.
I though SHun Di was just a chill drunk who got involved in the tournamebnt because she wanted something to do.
But yeah imagine if Sega actually bothered with a propper storymode to tie all these characters together!

Just like in Virtua Fighter anime.

Khinsider Has Removed 500+ Albums Related to Sega
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Shinob3Record.jpg)
"Segapocalypse!
Wave Master, the company that manages Sega's music, has contacted me and asked me to remove lots of albums related to Sega.
At the end of the day, over 500 albums were removed, including Sonic, OutRun, and others.
Unfortunately, this even included fan made compilation albums for games that have no commercial releases, which, quite frankly, makes absolutely no sense.
If you were wondering why some albums have disappeared on the site, this is why."

I remembered one scene in the anime where Pai got mad when she remembered Lau abandoning her sick mother.
And then Shun Di conformed her, saying because there is nothing Lau could do anyway.
Lau knows her wife couldn't be cured and isolated himself in training to overcome his own anger and sadness.
He knows that Pai would take care of her better than him in her final days.

Yeah but that's the anime. They may have been inaccurate with some characters (Akira Yuki) but they still put effort in storytelling where Sega themselves skipped out on.

Y'know... I sometimes wonder. What if Shinobi was in Ninjala? Not that I played Ninjala. Just Ninjala did that promotion with Sonic awhile back and here Sega already have a franchise all about ninjas.

Nah... Not cute enough.
Unless they're willing to make a chibi version of Shinobi.

The very least make his white and red uniform available, and maybe music-swap when the costume is worn.

They already did it 2 years ago in SEGA Ages,
and I kind of love it back then.
But the sale wasn't that good,
it was still far below SEGA Ages: Puyo Puyo, Outrun, and Virtua Racing.
(https://i.ibb.co/sFVKHyC/Berto-Switch-2020.png)
I heard Dotemu (Streets of Rage 4) has pitched Shinobi sequel,
but SEGA hasn't agree yet.
They even failed to put Joe in Streets of Rage 4.
Although they pursued use of Joe Musashi from Shinobi,
the licensing, different departments, and various permissions necessary to use a character like Joe Musashi made including him as a bonus playable character impossible.

I just wish the Sega Ages games were more available these days. Never got to play those remakes.
As for Sega's reluctance for a Shinobi remake, I dunno. Maybe licencing problems?

That's depended on M2 too.
Seems like SEGA's not willing to do SEGA AGES / 3D Classic series without them and right now M2's still busy with their shmup reproduction and Shot Trigger series, at least until next two years.

Ah.. okay... Talking about Ninja, I'll bring a trivia :
SEGA's first protagonist Ninja character isn't Joe Musashi
It's Kurumi from Ninja Princess (Arcade, SG-1000, MSX, Saturn, Mobile)

Indeed, since her name was only Kurumi, may be they could name her Kurumi Musashi?
Or if not, make her meet and marry a guy from Musashi clan,
Also another trivia : her latest appearance was on Nintendo Switch.
As a score girl in SEGA AGES Columns II: A Voyage Through Time.

Damn, she was demoted. But if they ever make a new Shinobi game they should introduce her to the fold.
For example, I always imagine Joe Musashi half-japanese. His mother could be Kurumi Musashi who married an American and why their son has an American sounding name. Joe could struggle being half-american in the Oboro clan but eventually became the best ninja they had.

Setting up his mother is more likely.

It's actually started as a fan game but somehow when the developer showed it to SEGA,
to their surprises SEGA gave them a blessing to make it an official game.

Not yet for now. Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX Review is kinda mixed (https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/alex-kidd-in-miracle-world-dx).
While the new graphic and the new music are great,
the transitioning between modern mode and classic mode isn't as smooth as Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap.
Classic mode is kinda different with the original game which made gamers who memorized the original game kinda unhappy.
I still don't know whether this game sold well enough to guarantee a new entry or not.

What version? (Probably should move this to Shinobi thread.)
Done. 2016 version by Marc Platt and Adam Siegel but still never materialized even until today.

Rumour said it was supposed based on Shinobi's Genesis Game.
Dunno which one... Revenge, Shadow Dancer, or III.

2016, oof!
I'd settle for a Shinobi movie that has a budget just over Enter the Ninja.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xhNTv9HO5E
I believe this movie was what inspired Shinobi... that and just ninja movies in general, but I believe this one in particular was source of inspiration.

Most likely. Ninjas were a pop culture media in the 1980s, Enter the Ninja had a factor in Ninja became a huge thing too.

Yes. And while I know ninja-fame has passed since the last five decades I'd still like a Shinobi movie that captures the charm this movie had.
Kind of like what the Sonic movies did. In a way the movies had that campy millenial vibe to it while still being a modern movie appealing to todays audience.
Besides, who can't deny the absolute quality of acting Enter the Ninja had?

When I was talking to youngsters about Ninja, they always refer to Naruto.

Looking back at my detest for Naruto, I always thought Naruto was a stupid and inaccurate portrail of ninja, especially ninjas that shout on the top of their lungs or announce themselves let alone wearing colourful attractive garments.
But then again, my knowledge of ninja is how Hollywood portrait it to me. Even I know ninjas can't vanish in a cloud of smoke or turn into logs or such.

The thing with Naruto and some ninja movies : they treat Ninja / Shinobi as some kind of superhero.
Different ninja with different power to show off.
That's not what Ninja is supposed to be.
SEGA described it best what Ninja / Shinobi is in Sakura Taisen :
"To remain hidden.
That's what Shinobi means.
Those who execute their mission undetected."

I agree. Ninja are awesome but we shouldn't glorify the fact they are assassins. I do know a bit about real ninja. From what I understand the first ninjas were peasants who had enough of the tyrannical lords and shogans that rule over them. So they learned to use the everyday farming tools for weapons, how to be efficient and sneaking and murdering their targets. In a way a samurai is a trained warrior in armour while the ninja goes for the gaps in the armour and forego armour to be light on their feet. Over time these clans of killer farmers stylized their martial arts into ninjitsu and became assassins. I don't know if ninja's had clans or if these clans were like the middle-eastern Order of Assassins but folklore and later Hollywood make ninjas seem able to pull off tricks like vanishing in a cloud of smoke or to turn into a log or dummy. I imagine it's possible for magicians but I dunno if ninjas actually pulled off any tricks similar to Las Vegas magicians.

Well, Ninja's also like a spy so they're always known could disguise themself as anything.
By anything of course they meant anyone, they could disguise as farmer, beggar, or merchant.
But some story's taking too far with "anything" by making them could turned into a log or shadow.

That makes sense. I'm sure ninjas still wore kabuki given how practical they look, but makes sense they will need to do stake outs in broad daylight where the kabuki would be a dead give away.

May be that's why Joe Musashi decided to wear white.
Because he's operating in a broad daylight.

I think so to, would make sense.
Could also be it simply conceals his identity even if he is noticeable. Superhero mask/costume rules etc.

The Japanese titles for Mega Drive Shinobi series is actually SUPER SHINOBI.
That's right, not just a mere Shinobi but a SUPER one.
So I guess he really went superhero route by changing it to white
(his costume is still black in the original Shinobi).

For some reason western version dropped the SUPER title.
They changed The Super Shinobi into The Revenge Shinobi
and changed The Super Shinobi II into Shinobi 3: Return of The Ninja Master

Pocket Power: The G.G. Shinobi

Handheld gaming is more than a compromise of power and portability. Whether it’s the ability to play anywhere, multitask or hold an entire console in your hands, it’s a special experience consoles have never replicated.
In a world where high resolutions and teraflops reign supreme, we take a look at a portable relic every month and reflect on what makes it memorable.
Joe Musashi is one gaming’s most famous shinobi, and he made his handheld debut on The G.G. Shinobi.
The G.G. Shinobi takes on a Mega Man inspired approach to progressing through the game
The use of different color-coded shinobi opened up new strategies which was a welcome way to bring variety to the gameplay that was otherwise standard fare for Shinobi titles.

I prefer him as just "shinobi". They could of called the game "Ninja" but instead used a less common word for ninja as if being a "shinobi" means something over than being a regular ninja. As in why be a soldier when you can be a knight sort of thing.
Plus, I prefer it without the "super" because that would give him and his abilities more of an air of mystery. He "might" be mortal, he certainly has unique abilities, but unconfirmed if he's superhuman or enhanced in anyway.
Kind of like Batman given he's on par with most of the superheroes in the Justice League but is entirely human.

SEGA already have "The Ninja" though so "Shinobi" title could be picked so that fans won't be confused about which is which.

Also about "Super Shinobi",
Remember that he fought Batman and Spider-Man in Revenge?
Not to mention Hulk-like, Godzilla-like, and Terminator-like enemy.
It's like the game was designed to be the fight between "Super" Heroes.

Spider-man and Batman were the same enemy though. I imagine Zeed manage to raid Hollywood studios of costumes and animatronics that they weaponize and use against Musashi.
I mean, if Shinobi were to ever get a remake with an overhauled story, I can't imagine all these licensed characters returning. Thevery least knock-off versions of them.
-

I don't think so, the timeline is too different (The Ninja is set on feudal Japan).
Spider-man and Batman were the same enemy though.
Not after the revision though.
SEGA had a license for Spider-Man (they made a game based on him too) so they make it's a real Spider-Man on the revision.
(https://segaretro.org/images/5/58/Spider-Man_vs_the_Kingpin_MD%2C_Stage_5.png)
Old version : Spider-Man morph into Batman.
(https://i.gifer.com/5wfb.gif)
New version : After battle with Musashi, Spider-Man then realized Musashi isn't a bad guy so he just leaves.
Yes, just leave though, not helping him fight the boss after him.
(https://c.tenor.com/uxbr6PQIoAYAAAAM/the-revenge-of-shinobi-shinobi.gif)
They changed it again to a pink ninja boss in the Virtual Console / Genesis Collections version since the license's expired.
I have the Mega CD classic collection and back then always wondered why they mentioned Spider-Man on the back cover.
I never played the game far so I didn't know that we'd have Spider-Man boss in the later level.
(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/e/e6/SegaClassic_MCD_JP_manual.pdf/page1-611px-SegaClassic_MCD_JP_manual.pdf.jpg)
SEGA also had a license for Batman, but turned out it's just for a movie version of Batman (and Batman Returns later).
That's why they have to change him.

Yeah, especially Spider-Man was Sony's property in movie now, it will be too expensive and not worth it.

It was confusing why genuine heroes would want to fight Joe Musashi. I mean, I can understand if they mistake him for a bad guy but you'd think there be more context behind it.
I would love to see an official comic that fills in the context behind these fights.
Yeah, especially Spider-Man was Sony's property in movie now, it will be too expensive and not worth it.
Yeah if Paramount were to have held onto the Marvel Cinematic Universe just a bit longer we might have had Tom Holland's Spider-Man versus Sega/Paramount's Joe Musashi. That be trippy as heck.
-
I mean it could be Musashi's ancestor or something.
Could be if SEGA wanted to.
The protagonists don't have the surname, just Kazamaru and Kasumi.
They could make one of them as Musashi : Kazamaru Musashi or Kasumi Musashi.
But so far none of the connection has been mentioned or hinted by SEGA.

Many superhero vs superhero story usually relies on misunderstanding, so this one is not different than that.
Many evil Ninjas suddenly show up in the city and the Spidey assumed Musashi as the boss since he dressed as ninja and has different color compared the others.

Nah, it's more like Shinobi III.
Even the Nintendo-based fansite compared it to Shinobi instead of Ninja Gaiden :

I remember my friend ask me to accompany her to watch this movie with her since the she loved the main cast.
I was skeptical at first since the main cast is a famous Asian singer but his acting is good and the movie is turned out pretty great for a ninja movie.
The way those ninja enemies whisper and stalk are really creepy.

The way those ninja enemies whisper and stalk are really creepy.

Okay, I watched it. It was a pretty cool Ninja movie. I can imagine a Shinobi movie in this style, though I imagine Sega/Paramount may want to keep at least a PG-13 rating on it. Or whatever rating the Streets of Rage movie will have.

They could keep the rating kids friendly if the enemies changed into robots.
Ninja robots like TMNT's Foot Soldiers.
Tokusatsu and superhero movies also usually do that.
Slashing human is taboo but slashing robots is okay.

I checked out some other ninja movies and I watched Ninja (http://y2u.be/3Io-Hfflq8k). The first 15 minutes were kinda tacky and for a movie called Ninja it only had two fully-robed ninjas, the later ninja only showing up in the final battle of the movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBlR3LW0Ia0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBlR3LW0Ia0)
I've yet to see it's sequel Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear (http://y2u.be/Dxmal-7WmyA). These movies aren't as violent or as dark as Ninja Assassin, but still not afraid to show blood, just not gallons of it like Ninja Assassins had. If we ever get a Shinobi movie, I would love it to meet mid-way between these two movies.
Also, I just found out Enter the Ninja was the first of a trilogy so I'll watch them.

The trailers look decent. I'll put it on my watch list.
Also I remember TV Shows called "The Master" (1984) when I was a kid.
This TV series was a hit in my country and many Ninja-based toys appeared because of this TV series.
My school even had to forbid shuriken toys, afraid that it would hurt the kids when they're playing with it.

I wouldn't recommend 2009 Ninja movie and judging by the trailer to Shadow of a Tear I'm not that sold to commit to watch the sequels. Not enough ninjas if you ask me and that Namiko girl annoys me. For her training as the daughter of the sensei, complete damsel in distress material that it annoys me. It looks like she dies in Shadow of a Tear just to motivate the plot. That wasn't a spoiler, that's in the trailer!
I'd rather stick to Cannon Film's Ninja Trilogy. Even if Ninja III: The Domination was sub par.
I dunno what American Ninja I and II is like.

I watched those American Ninja movies but since it was long time ago other than V I forgot what's the story about.
V is memorable to me because it has Pat Morita in it.

If you don't mind Japanese ones, no masks, and non-modern setting, there are two :
The first is Shinobi : Heart Under Blade
(https://i.pinimg.com/474x/a1/79/83/a179836c05b75166835fe8fe61708ddd--foreign-movies-shinobi.jpg)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI7YVeFf3Ho (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI7YVeFf3Ho)
It's more battle of Ninja clan though, not a story about single Ninja fulfilling his mission.
They use every tricks necessary to make their clan is the best one.
The second is : Azumi
(https://i.pinimg.com/474x/41/5c/92/415c9288ec82f22e61241ee7f35d8da7.jpg)
The story began with several students whose trained to be Ninja.
Later they learned the hard way that their job later was not just regular "Spying" ninja, but as "Assassins" Ninja.
It has a sequel (Azumi 2) but not as good as the first one.

A improvement patch to the Genesis version of “Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi.” The original game has one-hit kills, but now your character can take three hitpoints of damage.
Hitpoints are displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

My answer is kinda spoiler so you could skip it if you want to...
Well.. killing enemies is one thing...
They are prepared for that.
But what about killing a whole village full of innocent villagers?
The reason?
Nothing.
Just to prove loyalty to your clan / Master.
That's all.

Thanks for the support! Thank you for trusting me! To lovers of beauty, art and things well done.
Today is a change and after more than 20 years creating books, this first video game book will be a change in my life.
This book will only be a single edition. I will not release any more edition.
Because as you know apart from this book, I work in my publishing company The Guide Artists with many books for artists from all over the world.

Ooh. Kissasian is back. Nice.
I thought the site's already gone with kissmanga and kissanime.
There's loads of copy-cat sites of the "Kiss" sites. I dunno how many Kiss site types are in total.
The ones I know are:
- KimCartoon (Either a clone of KissCartoon or it's successor.)
- KissAnime (The one O used to use is closed down so I moved onto 9Anime)
- KissTVShow (which only does Asian television.)
- KissAsian (Movies)
- KissHen- actually you can guess that one. That's for after hours.
- ReadComicOnline which is set up like a Kiss site.
I've heard of "KissManga" but given the sites I found are a different format to ReadComicOnline I don't think they're the same host.
Because of that know the sites I listed out may not be from the same hosts. And while they appear safe to me, browse them and other supposed Kiss sites with caution.
Now, it may say you should disable your ad-blocker, at least on KimCartoon, but I'd say keep it on or you'll be deleting 3-5 ads just to pause the videos.
It would be nice if there were more Kiss-variety of sites, especially ones not banned in my country.

(or my internet provider, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference).

I only know one, Adikfilm, but they use Indonesian subtitles.
Anime about ninja that I recommend is "Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls".
The story's kinda dark though, unlike Naruto.
It is an adaptation of Futaro Yamada's novel "The Kouga Ninja Scrolls".

So in Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed, Joe Musashi has a stage theme for Seasonal Shrines and All-Star Move.
The seasonal Shrine theme is called "Idaten ~ Japonesque"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGN10_BJDSM
This theme is actually based on a soundtrack from Shinobi III
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVmaou-eQfY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVmaou-eQfY)
His All-Star Move theme is actually "Patience" from 2002 Shinobi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfLG8Kv_b2w (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfLG8Kv_b2w)
I find these choice of soundtrack for Joe kind of pecuilar, especially the 2002 game which was a reboot that he just cameod in.
I'm curious what you would choose as Joe Musashi's definite theme and why?
My choice would be Shinobi - BGM 1 given most may find it familiar with the series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha70rE-xs3w (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha70rE-xs3w)
That and the first Shinobi game never had an opening theme.

DOS version (the one I played most back then) has an opening theme so I always assume other has one too.

If I had to choose as Joe Musashi's definite theme, I'll choose Shinobi - BGM 1 too.
It's the most memorable for me.
But I understand why Racing Transformed didn't use this.
Shinobi - BGM 1 feels like a stealth mission song while Idaten feels like a "run and finish it fast" mission song.

They could of always used another sound track from the game more fitting for an All-Star Move.

The big difference between Shinobi 3 and its prequels,
Joe Musashi could run now.
Making him run is fun
and changing the gameplay from stealthy to fast action is reflected on the music.
That's why for racing games I think the music fits better.
If it's olympic or fighting games,
then probably I'd choose from 3DS version.
For fighting games I'd probably chose Trickshot:

Well I always imagine Shinobi being a Japanese (or the very least half-Japanese) ninja in eighties to modern New York.
Assassins Creed: Red will probably take place in Feudal Japan.

SEGA planned to divide the series back then.
Shinobi 3 and beyond will take place in Japan
(past, present, and even future)
while Shadow Dancer is the one that will take place in New York.

Well, I guess there is still a chance for a Shinobi DLC in Assassins Creed then... though I think Shinobi is more likely to cameo or DLC in Ishin.

If there is, given the story's happened in 1866, it wouldn't be Joe or Musashi.
Jiro is most likely but I doubt he will be in it since most people don't know him given his game is 3DS exclusive.

I was thinking just have the Shinobi uniform as an unlockable and that's it. Don't even need to refer to Jiro or Joe. It could be called "Shinobi unform" and say it's what a legendary ninja from the Oboro Clan wear or something.

It would be cool ... if they can at least got permission from who had ever worked on Shinobi or their original creator.
Jordi Asensio from Guard Crush (one of Streets of Rage 4 developers) explained how hard it is to get license to have Shinobi as playable character for SoR4 and explained how Sega is a huge company made of multiple smaller entities, and most of that smaller entities couldn't gave their blessing since they never worked in Shinobi before.
It all depends on who the character is related to inside Sega, and a lot of other things, so it's far from being a simple matter to include another franchise in the game.
They got rejected in the end while before Demiurge could manage to get permission to use them in SEGA Heroes.

Sega Ages: Shinobi is now 50% off in the Nintendo eShop!
Sale ends on September 26, 2022.

Shinobi. It's Japanese for stealth, the perfect description of a Master Ninja.
And that's exactly what you are!
Armed with throwing stars and finely-honed battle skills, you must defeat the Ring of Five.
Fight your way past mercenaries and karate thugs.
Take out the meanest martial artists and rescue hostages.
But these dangers pale in comparison to your ultimate challenge: A fight to the death against five evil Ninja Assassins whose mastery of the deadly ancient arts may well surpass your own!

Anime about ninja that I recommend is "Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls".
The story's kinda dark though, unlike Naruto.
It is an adaptation of Futaro Yamada's novel "The Kouga Ninja Scrolls".

Players with a certain score or higher in the qualifying will advance to the finals, and the player with the highest score during the finals period will be the winner.

These two SEGA games will apparently be the first of the reboots and they are scheduled to release in the next few years.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

Shortly after the deal was signed, Sam Tramiel suffered a heart attack and control of Atari Corp was passed back to his ageing father, Jack.
With the prospect of seriously challenging Sony, Nintendo and Sega in the upcoming next-gen console war getting slimmer each month, the elder Tramiel wisely decided it was time to get out of the video game business and brokered a reverse merger with hard drive maker JTS on July 30th, 1996.
Atari, and the Jaguar, were dead.

Speaking to the Japanese publication Famitsu (translated by VGC), SEGA president Yukio Sugino stated that the "Sega Saturn is surprisingly high performance," admitting that "the difficulty of miniaturisation is also high."
Sugino added that it may take a while for a Sega Saturn Mini to hit store shelves, but he seems keen to collaborate with teams who know the hardware inside and out: "I’d like to think about it when we’re in a situation where we can openly develop it together with people who have always loved the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast."
That last quote is particularly eye-catching; if a Sega Saturn Mini is successfully developed, the publisher may ...

SEGA's Shadow Dancer Might Be Getting A New Fan Port For The Amiga
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd5w5iD18f0
While few would argue that the Mega Drive version of Shadow Dancer is as good as Revenge of Shinobi or Shinobi III, it's still a great game with some attractive visuals, challenging gameplay and toe-tapping music – so the news that it could be ported to the Commodore Amiga is very welcome indeed.
The work is being carried out by msmalik681, who is rebuilding the game using the powerful Scorpion Engine. "The Mega Drive version was much better than the original arcade game," msmalik681 says. "I played this game to death when I was younger and I loved it."

I don't know if it turned out as expected, I changed the pose a little to look more like the style of the game.
I don't quite understand the limitations of the console, palette type and sprite size, but it was worth the challenge.

Debuting on the SEGA System 16 arcade hardware, Shinobi is a side scrolling action and platforming game featuring Joe Musashi as he uses ninja martial arts and weapons to attack enemies of the Zeed Organization while saving the children of the Oboro Clan.
In addition, you can use the killing Ninjutsu technique to wipe out the enemies in the screen and encounter bosses appears at the end of each mission with extraordinary battles such as a helicopter carrying a ninja army and a huge computer protected by a Buddha statue.
The series has expanded to include a dozen other Shinobi titles and Shinobi's code name has been used by various ninjas, such as Jiro Musashi, Joe Musashi, Hotsuma, Hibana, and Honoka.

Shadow Gangs II
All art is finished, left now is programming.
I have big plans for SGII, but I will not start programming it until Shadow Gangs Zero (NeoGeo) is out first.
At least 3 to 4 years wait for SGII...
SG Zero however, will try to get it out in 2025...

FPGA developer Jotego has just released his long-awaited Sega System 18 core for Analogue Pocket and MiSTer.
The core – which is still in beta and only available to Jotego's Patreon supporters at the moment – already has its first compatible games, with the 1989 arcade classic Shadow Dancer, which forms part of the Shinobi series, leading the charge.
"The beta seems quite solid after a lot of testing, and the game feels great to play," says Jotego. "This is a game that pays back your investment. It does not play tricks on you or abuse of random patterns. Hence, it is a game you can master rather quickly. As you know, ...

Now, in 2024, one sole developer by the name of Jeff Silvers has managed to acquire the Tengen name and has used this to create a brand new company called 'Tengen Games'.
According to the website, Silvers had conducted research in 2022 and discovered that nobody owned the Tengen name at the time, so simply began a lengthy process of officially registering it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The registration is now currently in the 'final stages' of completion.
Rather fittingly, Tengen Games' first title is an unlicensed NES game called Zed and Zee, an 8-bit arcade-style action platformer that can be purchased for the NES, Famicom, and Windows. There's no ...

Streets Of Rage Composer Is "Disappointed" More People Aren't Aware Of His Work

When you discuss the soundtrack to the Streets of Rage series, one name is likely to crop up first: Yuzo Koshiro. The legendary composer behind the likes of Revenge of Shinobi, ActRaiser, Etrian Odyssey and more is indelibly connected with Sega's belt-scrolling series, and his studio, Ancient, was involved with the development of the second and third instalments, too.
However, what some people aren't aware of is the fact that Koshiro didn't compose the music for Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3 alone; he collaborated with the incredibly talented Motohiro Kawashima, who would also return to contribute to Streets of Rage 4 alongside Koshiro. During his career in games, Kawashima worked on titles such as Batman Returns (SMS / Game Gear), Shinobi II (Game Gear), Eye of the Beholder (Sega CD) and Amazing Island (GC).
Kawashima was recently interviewed by Jonathan Tustain, and spoke about ...

This one in particular really hits me in the nostalgia feels!
Have a listen and let him know what you think!
Apart from the music, I already have a couple of people doing some early graphical work on the game, just so that we can get started. Once we have the basic game structure in place, then it would be great for people following the tutorials to each chip in a bit too!"

The Sega Master System is still being made and sold in Brazil 36 years later

It’s not a clone or a bootleg, but it’s also not the original hardware either. In Brazil, the Sega Master System lives on as a licensed, ROM-on-Chip (RoC) console. It's basically like a self-contained emulator—still manufactured and stocked on retail shelves, preloaded with 132 classic games. 40 years after its original release, and 36 years since it made its way to Brazil, the 8-bit system that vanished from shelves elsewhere is alive and well.
This isn’t just retro gaming dressed up as a collector’s item. Brazil has an incredibly unique and fascinating gaming culture, born out of frustrating tariff policies and other factors that isolated them from the greater global gaming industry. The original Master System was hugely popular in Brazil, manufactured in-country by TecToy, the electronics company that still sells it to this day. In its newest iteration, it’s a practical, affordable, and accessible console marketed to lower-income families and ...

“We didn’t just want to go and make remasters or remakes of all the titles that are already around,” Shimomura says. “We want people to enjoy and be satisfied by what we put out there, and find ways to create new Sega fans.”
According to Shimomura-san, Shinobi felt like the perfect IP to start with as, in his eyes, the underlying DNA of all the greatest Sega action games began with the Shinobi arcade game. As luck would have it, a new Shinobi title was the first thing that developer Lizardcube pitched to Sega following the release of their previous two classic Sega revivals Streets of Rage 4 and Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, and like with those two games, Sega loved their pitch.
“Getting the tone right in terms of art, in terms of vibe, in terms of different setup, but the gameplay, sometimes people don’t remember the gameplay exactly; they just remember playing a ninja and being a fast action game for the time,” Fiquet says. “So, they want a fast action game, but it’s not the same thing as in the ‘90s on the Genesis. A fast action-platformer game has a lot of competition now. It needs to appeal to modern gamers, which, in my opinion, is ...”

SEGA boss wants to revive the SEGA spirit of the 80s and 90s

Speaking to The Game Business Mr. Utsumi said he wants SEGA to cover all bases going forward and have software for everyone, “I’d really like to revive that SEGA spirit. Sometime around 2000, even around the 1980s, we were regarded as a very cultural company. If you compare it to the music industry, I believe SEGA brings rock and roll. In the arcade business, we really had a rock and roll mindset and trying to provide new stuff. So nowadays, we want Sega to always be trying something different, while ..."

26 years ago today, the game engine M.U.G.E.N was originally released on PC via a public beta (Version 9X.07.27 Beta).
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gw5lt7nWgAEu7eo?format=jpg&name=small)

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F1L9jYbWwAI40w-?format=png&name=small)
M.U.G.E.N, designed by Elecbyte, is a 2D fighting game engine that is enables you to create commercial-quality fighting games. Almost everything can be customized, from individual characters to stages, as well as the look and feel of the game.
The majority of content created for M.U.G.E.N tend to be distributed as individual characters, stages or motifs. Assembling a game is as simple as downloading the content of your choice, and configuring M.U.G.E.N to know about it.
M.U.G.E.N is designed to be used by people with little or no programming experience, but with some artistic talent and patience to learn. Of course, having some programming background does give you a bit of a headstart. However, if you are just looking to play with downloaded content, all you need to know is how to unzip files and edit a text file.

True. I still don't have a Sega Account, and don't need one given I got the blue Shinobi uniform.

Yeah, I probably could've got it for free with the account, but it was only £1.69

I only pre-ordered regular edition on Switch so no 3-day early access treatment for me. I started playing on the release date.

I'm still salty about "digital deluxe" thing with SEGA after shameless pull they did in Sonic Origins.
They forced me to buy the same contents again since they put the digital deluxe content in "Plus" upgrade with no option to buy only the new contents.
The new contents are about $5 but they priced it $10 since it includes the digital deluxe content that we already have.
Well, the difference is just $5 but it's not just about the money.
It's about how you treat your consumers fair and square.

Sega's marketing is bad at times. I'm salty given I already own Sonic Generations Collection (https://store.steampowered.com/app/), but Sonic X Shadow Generations doesn't offer a discount on Steam for anyone who already owns Sonic Generations.
They could've at least sold Shadow Generations seperately and offer the changes to Sonic Generations as a DLC for the original game.

Yeah. Plus there is Denuvo thing ... that makes it hard for their games to get "Overwhelmingly Positive" user reviews since there are always fans who kept downvote it for the game having Denuvo.

Well, denuvo can increase CPU usage, leading to performance issues like longer load times, frame rate drops, and overall worse optimization.
If you played the single player game, it doesn't matter much.
But if it's a competitive online games, it could be frustating.
Also for Steam Deck ... Denuvo causes problems on the Steam Deck mainly by triggering its activation limit, locking users out for 24 hours when changing the Proton version or machine ID. These frequent hardware changes are misinterpreted by Denuvo as new devices, even when the device itself hasn't changed.

The irony of denuvo is that ... everyone except pirates are affected by it.

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound's most challgening things are the bosses while SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance are the jumping platforms.

True, but they're both ninja platforming games, but it's good they have variations of reasons to set them apart than whose the better ninja.

They may be equal in 2D version but in 3D version unfortunately Ninja Gaiden has moved forward so far compares to Shinobi.

A match up between Joe Mushasi and Ryu Hayabusa does seem unfair. Especially given Hayabusa uses advance tech along with ancient ninjutsu.
But what about Ryu Hayabusa vs Hotsuma?

Oh yeah, that's more fair.
I wonder if Ryu Hayabusa from the classsic NES Ninja Gaiden series and the modern games are same person or not.
For the original 1988 arcade and classic NES game, Ninja Gaiden series is set in a retro-futuristic version of the 1980s but the subsequent modern series started in present times (2004).
I know Hattori Hanzō (whose name are used in various games) is a name passed down from one person to another.
In real life, there's a total of five people in history have used this name.
But Ryu Hayabusa doesn't seem to be the case.

SEGA has teamed up with legendary artist Eric Haze for a new collaboration that’s got us feeling all kinds of nostalgic. If you’ve ever played Jet Set Radio, you’ve seen Haze’s work, he was a key contributor to the original game’s iconic look. Now, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise, he’s back with a fresh new design and custom SEGA logos.
But it’s not just about Jet Set Radio. This partnership is a full-on celebration of SEGA’s history. Haze is also creating unique art for classic titles like ...

While Shinobi: Art of Vengeance has a default layout for four-button controllers, it is possible to rebrand the button functions mid-game (an option only available during the game and not in the Start menu options for some reason.)
What do you think of this controller layout for those who want to play Shinobi:AoV with Sega Saturn controllers?(https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/12506436389153752155/8E906675BAB64F921073FC1786A5BBBD9D164DE6/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false)
It takes some getting used to if you've grown used to AoV default control scheme, but this custom control scheme is for those who want both a classic gameplay feel to Shinobi and more practical layout for kunai, hook and glider functions.
The only button it does not have assigned is Select button, given Sega Saturn controllers don't have that, may have to resort to [SPACE] on the keyboard or the use of the Pro Controller.
Unfortunately they're not as iconic as Joe Musashi so I doubt it.
I guess so. I'm still uncertain if they take place in the future of mainstream Shinobi games, or AU.

I can't give it much thought since both of my Switch Lite and Steam Deck only have four buttons in front so I just have to adapt what controls they gave me.
But if I had that option, I'll choose to put all controls in front buttons.
If that's not possible to do that then I'll have at least all attack functions in front buttons and leave running & blocking to shoulder buttons.
So yeah, I kinda dig your layout buttons.

Well, Shinobi:AoV is made for modern four-button controllers. But if you could play the game with a Sega Saturn controller, would you map it like classic Shinobi games, or keep it same, but make use of those extra buttons?

I would say "you could always get a Saturn Pro Controller (https://retro-bit.com/controllers/saturn/#pro-controller)", but I dunno how financially well off you are for such suggestion. But the Pro Controller is useful for when you want to play old Sega games on PC.

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance Update ver 1.10 Fixes Neo City Bug and Boosts Resolution on Switch
(https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/16615887310803283983/AA5393C57B19CC4201C6A5EC13A8FAA7A171E9A5/?imw=700&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false)

Patch Notes:
Switch
- Improved screen resolution.
- Fixed a progression-blocking bug in the “Neo City” stage where a location requiring the use of a Kusarifundo (Ninja Hook) could disappear. In addition, save data that had already become stuck due to this issue will now be automatically repaired upon loading.
- Fixed minor bugs.
PC
- Fixed a bug where scaffolding and grapple points would not appear correctly when returning to Neo City.
This patch fixes a soft-lock issue that could prevent players from completing the Neo City stage after obtaining the Ninja Hook. After obtaining that item, scaffolding with grapple points descends down and allows the player to use the Ninja Hook to progress upward to the next section of the stage. However, if players used Fast Travel or exited the stage right after obtaining the Ninja Hook, there was a chance that the scaffolding and grapple points would no longer be present when returning to Neo City, blocking players from continuing through the stage.
Any players that previously encountered this issue can now return to Neo City and should see the scaffolding and grapple points back in place, allowing you to ...

I used to own this one from Retro-Bit (https://retro-bit.com/controllers/mega-drive/) and yeah, definitely mapping all attack buttons to the front buttons back then.
Wanna try Saturn version too someday (if local retailers still sell one of course, importing is too expensive), I don't know how different it is compared to Mega Drive one, but not now since I don't have any desktop PC anymore and not planning to get any soon.

What I like about my Saturn Pro Controller is that I can also use it for modern PC gaming, given it has all the buttons expected for an XBox 360 controller... and two more.
I've seen Retro-Bit's plans for a Pro Dreamcast controller (https://x.com/RetroBitGaming/status/1248989231902531587), and honestly I'm not fond of it. I'd rather it be a Dreamcast controller with two analogue sticks, two LR shoulder buttons over the LR trigger buttons and that's that. Maybe add a Ⓒ and Ⓩ button, but Ⓒ and Ⓩ are usually translated as trigger-buttons anyway when modern controllers like PlayStation and XBox makes use with four-buttons, LR shoulders and LR triggers.Golden Axe Villain Death Adder Invades SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance – SEGABits Review – A Ninja Legend Reforged

Gameplay in Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is surprisingly deep, striking a balance between honoring the series’ roots and introducing modern refinements. Earlier Shinobi games, especially those influenced by Rolling Thunder, thrived on the high-risk “one hit, one kill” mechanic. While that tension worked in its time, Lizardcube wisely expands on what made the series unique by layering in mechanics that feel better suited for today. Joe Musashi still showcases his iconic techniques like the dive kick, shuriken throws, and the devastating ninjutsu arts seen in Revenge of Shinobi. On top of this, players can unlock new abilities, outfits, and power-ups by collecting Oboro Coins, which can then be spent at the Yokai Shop. These upgrades not only add variety but also give players a sense of progression that keeps the combat fresh from stage to stage.
At the heart of the game, the combat feels razor-sharp, quick, and incredibly responsive. One of the best additions is the ...

I'm alright with the Dreamcast controller, even though I acknowledge its size. Though I do think the XBox 360 and up controller is pretty much a perfected version of it.

It would be funny if Sonic Rumble won the award (in mobile game category) but CrossWorlds did not.
First Sonic game to get The Game Awards trophy is Rumble instead of Frontiers or CrossWorlds would be hilarious.

Too late. Sonic Rumble revenues for 3 weeks has reached $300K now, surpassing Sonic Dash ($60K/month, Nov25) and Sonic Forces ($130K/month, Nov25).
They must be really proud of the project.
Still not as much as Project Sekai Colourful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku which reached $3M/month (Nov25) though. That game is really a monster.
