No one talking about the Saturn version? Don't let the fat slab of cinematic cheese fool you. Game played gloriously and was a great Shinobi through and through. This new one will be great. SoR4 was a surprising gem, so full faith in LizardQube.

"Wow" "gee" "That looks cool" yup that's some lazy ass reaction video alright. Cipped from one of his streams where he's talking to the chat. I mean I still like Max for the most part for his fighting games analysis but you can tell this guy is just phoning it in for the sake of getting more content on his page.

I only played the 16 bit games, and the Master System Shinobi. And Shinobi X on Saturn.

Revenge is absolutely the best one. Its perfect. I replay it a few times each year. Its level design, controls are as good as it gets. You need to be committed to your actions and manage your kunai, its a typical classic late 80's-early 90's game about memorization. The soundtrack of Koshiro evelates it further.

Shinobi MS and Shadow Dancer are arcade games with ohko. As such I feel they are a bit too much trial and error but still very good.

Shinobi 3 perfected the gameplay. But I felt something got lost with its level design. You can pretty much beeline it. Its fairly forgivable.

Shinobi X I don't remember much about. I didn't like it that much I think.

Sadly i never played the 2 PS2 games. But I know they are my cup of tea. I usually like these 'misunderstood' games.

Saturn Shinobi is great as well and actually plays a lot like Shinobi 3.

There is nothing like Shinobi PS2. Extremely original.

There's now one less on ebay.

Megadrive's Shinobi 3 is one of my favorite action games of all time.

The new Shinobi is a day 1 purchase!

This game should be launch on Nintendo Switch

Shinobi was like the weaker alternative to Ninja Gaiden just like how Go-Bots was to Transformers.
