Why do people like Super Shinobi II more than this game?

because casuals and muh controls

It was more accessible than Super Shinobi, and the last stages weren't that tight in the jumps. And that labyrinth in the very last stage would drive you insane in the first playthroughs. I honestly love both of them.

Is this a thing now? is this the /vr/ version of the fedora?

>>3181551
Visuals.

>>3181551

Super Shinobi II felt like an actual ninja game with it's movement options and speed

>>3181713
Wearing fedoras is more of an American thing, so using the shitty western names is actually the fedora way.

>>3181562
There is nothing casual about Shinobi 3 you little child molester. Revenge of Shinobi was slow and boring with pixel jumps, and the kamikaze jutsu stripped all difficulty from the bosses.

>the world is gifted with many excellent Shinobi games
>people divide and fight over which is best
this kind of shit is exactly why God hates humanity

>>3181786

Well, that and teh gays

>There is nothing casual about Shinobi 3

While I love Shinobi 3 it's really fucking easy until the falling rock stage which is like the last quarter of the game.

>>3181786

Shinobi threads are going the same way as Castlevania threads.

Enjoy!

>>3182058
>going

They've been this way for a long time now. The only difference is they don't have a boogeyman like SotN to blame everything they dislike on.

>>3182078

I guess. That, and Shinobi is a Sega IP so it doesn't involve console wars because of entries on the series being on different branded systems.

Revenge of Shinobi is much better imo but i can understand why people put Shinobi III over it. I think its great but there's something about revenge that makes me keep going back for more each time and Yuzo Koshiro's work on Genesis is amazing.

SotN hasn't been the bogeyman for a while now. Shitting on pic related is all the rage nowadays.

>>3182089
Where is Cyber Shinobi?

>>3182476
Also: Saturn shinobi, the other shadow dancer, and that wretched GBA game

That whole mid tier should be high though, and arcade Shinobi is tragically overlooked

>>3182421

That's just Australia-kun.

Might wanna consult a shrink about your schizophrenic behaviour, mate.

Eh, it's easy to recognize him.

Also, it's not impossible that many people dislike a game, but it's weird that many people have such a raging hateboner for one game and post the same "memes" over and over.
It's like the MGS "overrated games general" guy.

I seriously hope you arent referring to Shinobi 3DS. Because that game was legitimately the best Shinobi game to date

>>3181673
Shinobi 3D is easily almost on par with both Revenge and III, though.

Why? Have you even played it?

>>3181551
Because it's better.

>>3181551
I liked both, but I prefer II because it had a lot of cool robot/high-tech bosses and I really like those.

>>3183091
it's nice but that is pushing it a bit

>>3182319
Revenge is awesome, 3 is just full of dumb design choices.

>>3181779
whatever casual fuck enjoy yourr baby shinobi

Obvious answer: Super Shinobi 2 has a lot more style and polish and is chock-full of memorable set-pieces. SS1 looks less refined, and is a little stiffer in controls (I also dislike its reliance on pixel-perfect platforming late into the game). Both games are excellent though, as is MD Shadow Dancer.

Shin Shinobi Den, or ShinobiX or Shinobi Legions or whatever- now THAT is a truly miserable game. Ugly graphics, awful, convoluted controls, and terrible level design. Lousy in every way outside of the funny cutscenes.

Revenge definitely has the better boss fights of the two games.

I played one or two levels of it and apart from "lol digitized sprites" it seemed ok. The GBA game is far, far worse. Cyber Shinobi seems bad too but apparently somebody on here likes it.

All 3 Genesis, both GG and original arcade game are 10/10. Also, Ninja Cop is an honorary Shinobi game and gets 10/10 too.

>>3182089
Shadow Dancer was shit. I mean, stages were good but bossfights were literally trial and error.

>>3186084
>trial and error.

codeword for I am a casual babby

>>3186089
I'm sorry that I don't consider dying over and over for no discernible reason any fun. I am also sorry I prefer jacking off with lotion instead of a barbed wire.

Like, I get something like Alien Soldier - shit is tough, but fair. Bossfights in Shadow Dancer require more memorization than skill.

>>3186118
>dying over and over for no discernible reason

wooow I couldn't do anything!

>>3186118
Quit pouting and try again

>>3186153
I fucking hate the final boss of Shadow Dancer

The rest of them are just average action game bosses

And it's not a very hard game, especially for a Shonobi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>3181551
Because Shinobi III gets hard just towards the end, so more people finished it.
I finished III before Revenge as well, it was easier and faster.
They are both amazing games, albeit different.
I can't really say which one I prefer.

>>3183469
I hope a paki rapes your daughter and gets away with it because it was only a "cultural misunderstanding".

>>3183494
Legions was tits because you could bat back ninja stars, cut guys in half with blood spraying all over, and had God tier live action cutscene cheesyness. Everything else was done better in the previous games tho.

Of the ones I've played:
3> Revenge> SD> Legions

>>3186630
also alot better with the euro ost

Guys, sorry to change the subject, but how do I get good at double jumping in Revenge of Shinobi/Super Shinobi?

>>3188378
Practice until you get the timing right. There's that fucking jump in the harbor level though.

>>3183494
>Super Shinobi 2 has a lot more style and polish
The game is full of dumb shit level design like auto scrolling, elevators, etc.

The American box-art for this game is awful.

>>3189328
It's alright except that hair guy throws off the symmetry. I like that Joe is dressed the same as in the game.

No it isn't. The fucking ranking and point system it has is fucking garbage.

It's literally just art from the back of the japanese box. I don't think it's awful at all btw, in fact I think its better than the japanese one.

How can a fucking screenshot produce primal fear on someone. Because I am having flashbacks of death now.
Revenge of Shinobi gave me PTSD.

>It's a pretty good game but it really deserved to be better.
It could've used a bit of visual polish and the 3D segments are pretty shit (especially the surfing one), but it's a really well-executed and very balanced game. My only big gripes are that some levels are a bit too long and some of the later level design could have been better. It's the perfect candidate for a sequel; it's a shame it'll never get one.

>>3182078
SotN is not retro = the new wave

>>3192718

There's a jump in the alien level I simply cannot make without the electric super. I don't think its even that hard but I can't do it.

You jump off a moving platform onto a wall, the wall has spike above and below with just enough flat wall to wall jump off and then you hook up onto a ceiling. Simple. I cannot do it vanilla.

Fuck I love this game.
