Although the System 18-based arcade Shadow Dancer from 1989 is technically superior to the MD/Genesis Shadow Dancer from 1990/1991, I perfer the console version. It's basicly Shadow Dancer 2 since it's not directly based on the arcade game.

how I'd rank the 16-bit Shinobi games:

1.) Shinobi III / Super Shinobi II (Gen/MD)
2.) Revenge of Shinobi / Super Shinobi (Gen/MD)
3.) Shinobi (Arcade)
4.) Shadow Dancer (MD/Gen)
5.) Shadow Dancer (Arcade)

I think Genesis should've had all 5 games. I'm really suprised that Genesis never got a port of original Shinobi. I would've thought that Shinobi would've been one of the first games made for the Mega Drive in Japan instead of Super Thunder Blade and Space Harrier II. The arcade Shadow Dancer should've made it too.

Alternatively, a 5-game Shinobi collection for Saturn, along with a new 32-bit game that really kicked ass (i.e. Super Shinobi III / Shinobi IV) instead of Shinobi Legends.

shadow dancer is always going to be number one for me...
shinobi III doesn't have that much fun in to it like shadow dancer does
Revenge of shinobi is so slow and had alittle bit of fun to it then shinobi 3

It's because of the times they were released, the first Shinobi and the arcade Shadow Dancer were both already released for the Master System, and if I remember rightly Revenge of Shinobi was released very early in the Mega Drive lifespan (within months of launch) so it would've made little sense to port it's older, out of date predecessors at that stage.

That list is completely nullified by the fact that Slaughter Sport and Super Hydlide are in the top 10.
