I actually always found Shadow Dancer easier without shurikens. Mostly for how trivial it makes the shuriken blocking ninjas who can't handle your kick/sword.

That easier time ends at the final boss when you're forced to use them and those ninjas can't be torn through like butter like when you only use melee. They keep blocking and it seems more random when you can get off a melee attack, making it much harder to win, IMO. If I could have projectile free boss fights I could probably 1CC the game.

You can but the problem is your kicks or punches won't do nothing to the bosses I tried 😁

I'll echo this sentiment. I think both Revenge and III are better...but Shadow Dancer is by no means a bad game. It's a terrific port and an excellent game it's own right. Heck, it's soundtrack is really good as well. The music for the Elevator up the side of the Statue of Liberty is one my all time favorite tracks.

It's also one of my favorite games of all time. One of the most interesting things about it is how much Shadow Dancer on Mega Drive excels the arcade version in every aspect, from its graphics and sound to its gameplay, level design, and most notably, its music.

And the arcade version runs in a much better hardware.

Regarding the music, it's worth noting that it was composed by the same person who worked on the arcade version, but the music of the arcade version is bad overall (and very different). How is it possible that the same person produced the wonderful soundtrack for the Mega Drive version? It's something extraordinary.

Fortunately, back then SEGA knew it had to do more than just make a simple arcade port. In this case, they went further and produced a masterpiece based on a bad game.

could someone patch the shurikens out of the boss fight and increase jump kick damage so it hurts the bosses?

I wonder did anybody find all the union lizard coins?
