The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
While Revenge of Shinobi is regarded as one of the best titles early on in the Genesis’ life, there were a handful of problems I had with it to really keep it from becoming a gold classic. But Shinobi III fixes all of them and makes a marvelous game to boot.
Shinobi was recently given a new lease on life with releases on the Playstation 2 and Game Boy Advance. Hopefully, this signifies the resurgence of everyone’s favorite ninja and many more games in the future. Read our complete retrospective on the series, and watch out for the shurikens!
The Revenge of Shinobi was released in 1989 for the Sega Genesis and is a 2D side-scrolling action title that pits you, as Joe Musashi, against a plethora of no-goodniks and other evil people. You are given a nice little arsenal of attacks to use to vanquish your evil opposition and the game is notorious for allowing you to fight a couple of comic book heroes as Bosses, most notably Spider-Man.
