Shadow Dancer

I just recently discovered this game. I just got a genesis and love everything about it

Shadow Dancer in my opinion is at the bottom of the 3 Shinobi Games. I would rate them like this (my personal preference of course)

1. Revenge Of Shinobi
2. Shinobi III
3. Shadow Dancer

I agree that Shadow Dancer is below the other two Genesis Shinobi games. I'd say though that it is on par with Arcade Shinobi and the Rolling Thunder series if not better.

never played it
never !

I've put my two cents in here before, and will again I'm sure, but Shadow Dancer is my favorite Shinobi game, by far. I'm actually not that big a fan of the other games. It's also one of my top Genesis games, period.

Sigh. I guess that means daminmancejin and I have something in common...

I agree with you.Also, i think Revenge is the best ninja game and one of the best of its kind, so its a tough competition.

My favorite Shinobi games.


1. Revenge of Shinobi
2. Arcade Shinobi
3. Shinobi 3
4. Arcade Shadow Dancer
5. Gen/MD Shadow Dancer

1.Shadow dancer
2.Shinobi 3
3.Revenge of shinobi

Shadow dancer will always be number 1

Shadow Dancer's alright, but I definitely wouldn't put it above Revenge or Shinobi 3; it's not even close to those games.

All you guys who think Shadow Dancer isn't number one should go back to the start of this thread and reread the whole thing. Then you will understand why Shadow Dancer is the true master.

I can play a few Genesis games this good. I've never put enough time into this one to see if I could.

Heh; all bow down to Shadow Dancer.

I'll just say this, Shadow Dancer Rocks and if you don't like it you should probably take up another hobby or stick to RPGs or something.

I love all the games in the series so I will not pick favorites.


Just came to post some beta/prototype screens of MegaDrive / Genesis Shadow Dancer - I don't have time to read the entire thread so, sorry if already posted.


First, the title screen of the released version

I remember this from EGM - You can see it in issue 13 - August 1990 on page 26.


Other screens from the beta/proto I don't really remember

Metal Sonic was in Shadow Dancer? Looks like you'll need to host the pics yourself... at least according to Metal Sonic.
