Shinobi: The Complete History

[parallaxscroll]

There are far more Shinobi games than you may know! This is the complete history of videos games greatest ninja!

Great video.

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

Does the Complete History include Alex Kidd in Shinobi World?

I actually saw that video pop up in my feed and as big of a fan of the Shinobi series, I didn't watch it. I know that if I do, I'll nitpick it to no end. And I really did not want to do that considering that Ibbertson spent alot of time compiling the information (How do I know that without watching the video? Well the video is freaking 35 minutes long! )

yeah, its fairly thorough! im more casual with Shinobi i guess, main thing i caught was he didn't know who Devil Man was in Revenge, haha. lotta ground covered though, great video!

I liked the arcade shadow dancer, the graphics were cool.

That was a good vid, but weird that he didn't mention how the Arnold boss turns into the HULK before exploding and becoming a Terminator.

I mean.. he's green without a shirt and throws cars around, that's the HULK.

You filthy casual!

ive finished revenge, III, and shadow dancer, but not legions or the PS2/3DS stuff. i did play cj_iwakura's cabinet last week and made it to somewhere in stage 4 before giving up, so that's gotta count for something!

Relax, Irish. I was just joking around because of what I read in that SNES thread. Me myself I only ever casually played Revenge once. Made it as far as that bridge with the chick ninjas and cars ramming you down.

[IrishNinja]

aw, man! you really should get on that one, it's a fantastic game. do the unlimited shuriken trick & go nuts!

I found this comment to be funny in this video @ 13:16 "I think it's safe to say, if you can defeat Batman Spider-man Rambo The Terminator and bloody Godzilla.. your a force to be reckoned with." I somewhat would like to have The Revenge of Shinobi revision 1.00 but who doesn't and that's why it's harder to find and more money. I can not justify the higher price so that I see some different sprites during game play.

I like Shinobi Legions for the Sega satin (or the Saturn as I call it) it is a good platformer and I think the music fits right in with most of the other Saturn games. I am a purist, so no games that were not released in the states limits me. I am a fan of the Shinobi series just had to hunt down a copy Legions. I agree with liking the art style, cheesy cut scenes, digitized characters, and destructible environments is very cool indeed but I feel the pacing is spot-on with my other Shinobi games also sluggish controls... I disagree with.

Edit: Okay I am a purist most of the time I did make an acception with Psycho Pinball, I really really wanted that pinball game and it was cheap.

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.
