This one's for daminmancejin2!
Everyone likes Ninjas; it's a fact that not even the 1980s could erase. Genesis owners got treated to a ninja trilogy rivaled only by perhaps Tecmo's Ryu Hayabusa on the NES. The second game in Sega's famous series, Shadow Dancer, was altered from its arcade release but still played and looked great on our beloved 16-bit box. Ninja and Shinobi fans alike will thrill to our full review of it, so sharpen those shuriken and get to reading!
nice man good work keep it up! :D
shadow dancer is a great game the gameplay is awsome!
Link doesn't work.
It's because this thread is so old that it was posted back under the original filename system.
And here was me thinking it was a new review. I'm going to have to start paying attention to the dates posted. Curse you Damninmancejin2 for replying to a thread over two years just so you can add a pointless post about Shadow Dancer, I hope your new Genesis breaks and you are deprived of the game you love.
Of all the 3 Shinobi games on the Genesis, this is the easiest (except for the last boss), yet the most fun to play. The graphics are decent and the music is good, but not as good as ROS's. The thing that disappointed me was that this is not the arcade port. How ironic that the SMS got the arcade and not the Genesis. I'd rate this game a 7.
shadow dancer is very good man.Quote:

Shadow Dancer was probably only the 3rd game or so in the US to do that effect at the time.Quote:

Genesis Shadow Dancer's sprite looks better than the fat, unshapely arcade Shadow Dancer sprite. But yeah, I'd say the Genesis would've been better off with a real arcade port. Many of Genny's SD levels are drab and lifeless, and the enemies are repetitive as well.
Nice soundtrack though. The game was supposedly re-released as a "Sega Classic' sometime around 1992. "Strider" had stolen SD's thunder around that time period though.
I must say I clearly prefer the Genesis-Shadow Dancer over the arcade game (although I have only played home-ports of that one).
Daminmance has been using alts to post about Shadow Dancer on every major gaming board since 2000-ish. People know him.Quote:

Yes, this is just one of many boards I've seen this character at. He's been haunting GameFAQ's Genesis-related forums for years now.
Scary how he's EVERYWHERE.
im a big fan of this game.
Wow, it's not enough that you have your own thread to tell us about how much you love Shadow Dancer is it? You have to fill this one with shit too.
The fact that Daminmancejin is now trolling every other Shadow Dancer related topic on Sega-16 is not a good situation. Power crazy mods take note and return the original topic back to the Genesis Does forum.
whats wrong talking about my favorite game.
The fact that you already have a topic to tell us about how great it is.
Wow! you got that right man.Quote:

Except when it got old and I euthanized it.
Yeesh.
I'm about to euthanize every Shadow Dancer thread we have.
Oh please do it!
See? I was right! I can die happy now.
The best ninja game ever shadow dancer!
The game is just too great.
How can someone have the patience to talk about shadow dancer for 8 years straight.
because im a huge fan of shadow dancer
shadow dancer always going to have a great gameplay...
there are shadow dancer fans out there like me ^_^
I like this game. I've been playing it a bit recently and I've managed to find a ton of extra lives, but I still can't beat the damn last boss. Too many damn black ninjas!
Did anyone ever find out the story behind Daminmancejin? Was it really one guy posting about Shadow Dancer across multiple forums for years?
