what am i in for /vr/?

I consider the Shinobi line a very good series of games but unrecognized by Sega. The Metroid of their company if you will. A question to ask your question, why haven't you played this yet?

Failed atempt to bring the shinobi arcade experience to home console

>>3483725
The Shinobi formula refined to perfection. It's a freaking masterpiece and really one of the last games of Sega's good period. Just about anything good after 1993-94 was not developed by Sega

>>3483730
how is it unrecognized when they made one for 3ds

I love arcade Shinobi and Shadow Dancer, but Shinobi III was great. I believe it to be the most polished console Shinobis.

Super Shinobi > Shadow Dancer (MD) > Super Shinobi 2 > Shinobi Arcade > Shinobi X > GG Shinobis > dogshit > Cyber Shinobi

>>3483842
I suppose if you had never played the arcade version of Shadow Dancer, you might be ok with the MD version which was a disappointment. They should have named it Super Shadow Dancer or Revenge of Shadow Dancer instead.

The answer to any of these threads should be play it and find out

shinobi III + 6-button controller cheat = goat 2d ninja game

>>3483854
Megadrive Shadow Dancer is much better and longer than ARC SD though.

Literally the best side scrolling action game of all time

I can have separate Shuriken and Attack buttons?

Are you fucking serious? And I never knew this?

Didn't even get to respond.

There was a Ps2 and and 3Ds game but they were made by a not as good dev team. The series don't need more games though, almost all of them in the genesis era are geat

>>3483730
I don't agree. They even put it on the 6-pak

Not my fault you can't properly imply things.

yeah, i only found out about it a couple of years ago

this one is also great, but i prefer action-oriented games over stealth

GG Shinobi 2 is a god tier handheld game

>>3483956
I am floored. I two six button controllers back in the day. Why was it such a pain to implement this?

>>3483956
i know the 3ds version port has a sword button, but does it also have a block one?

The only way that level could be any more badass is if he was wearing sunglasses.
Seriously.
Though the song in the level is a pretty short loop, it's fucking awesome. Top tier greatness.

what i dont get is this... the sega system 16 is pretty close to the mega drive hardware... why did sega never try to port the original shinobi? Maybe they did and they ran into sprites on screen problems, scrapped it and came up with the inferior super shinobi crap?

>>3484805
I like "super shinobi" better than the arcade version anyway.

>>3484203
It's meant to be played at 50hz. 50hz is full speed for that game. 60 is too fast.

Comedy gold, Straylia.

>>3484904
It can be full speed for games coded to run at 50hz, but Ninja Gaiden was not coded to run optimally at 50hz.

Did somebody say best ninja game?

>>3484919
Too much slowdown.

>>3483938
Yo, Shinobi 3DS is probably the best entry that's not on Arcade Boards or Genesis.

>>3483842

Fucking kill yourself.

>>3485151
Well it doesn't have much competition when it's against the Saturn and ps2 games

>>3485158
It's still really good.
Not as good as Shinobi 3, but it's probably one of the most underrated exclusives on 3DS.

>>3485161
I've seen gameplay and it looks good, back to the roots. The MC looks really cartooney, kinda like Ninja Gaiden Z.

>>3483889
>Jump is the button on the far right

sorry, cant play this

yeah this game is amazingly sweet, like really good. Played it 2013 or something for the first time and couldnt believe what I missed out.

You can get extra life like crazy in this game, maybe even farm some with points, Im not sure.

Still couldnt beat the last stage. I know, I know.

>>3485196
you can still remap the a+b+c buttons if you wish

>>3483842
Both GG Shinobi games are fantastic, though. Far better than Shinobi X.

GG Shinobi games are amazing.

Shinobi X is pretty good, though, underrated as fuck, it just looks like a bad B movie.

>>3484921

>if someone ever mentions a SNES game, I'll just say it has slowdown and call it a day

Plenty Megadrive games have slowdown too. Hagane runs fine.

Also Super Shinobi > the rest.

>>3483947

Maybe, but I've already beaten the game plenty of times. Doing a no shuriken run sounds fun as fuck

>>3485417
> Hagane runs fine
Except all the slowdown. Seriously, SNES defense force please don't lie and try to say the games framerate doesn't bog down in places. It does. It's a great game, but it has it's share of slowdown.

Also Shinobi 3 beats it hands down, if for no other reason then actually being a balanced game.

>>3486012
>Balanced game

Yeah right. Ninpo and charged-up shurikens are OP as fuck.

>>3485175
Adding to this it looks mediocre, but I cant say if it's really decent or not

Shinobi III is the casual choice, Super Shinobi it's where it's at.

Shinobi III has too many autoscroller sections, despite being cool, they seemed more like filler to me.

We should've got the III beta instead. It was going to be more similar to RoS.
