Bare Knuckle and Streets of Rage were the same thing. Bare Knuckle was the Japanese version name for the series and S.O.R. was for the North American audience.
I love the arcade version I could finish it without ever throwing stars or bullets except for the 2nd and 3rd bosses because I could never figure it out I'll try to get the game and record this to post it
No you are wrong. Sega own the rights to spider-man at the time. he is still in the game. In the beginning of the game you can even see "spider-man and bla bla characters are used bla bla bla Marvel" DC made sega take away batman dho..
i loved the streets of rage series. there is a remake of it online somewhere if you can find it now. sega got wind of it and shut that shit down. the final version is the hardest to find....i got it before it got pulled. it is SICK!!!
hey dude u missing the one that game out for THE SEGA SATURN! forgot about that one huh.... its called "Shinobi: Legions" i thought that game was awesome and i still have it along with my Saturn
@GermanGameRoom So what do you think? Which is better. Out of all the Shinobi games I would definately have to go with Revenge of Shinobi. It the best composed overall out of all of them.
Johnny, great reviews man, thank you SO much. Question about Revenge of Shinobi on Genesis...I want to track down the original version with the DC bosses. Is there anyway to tell if it's the original without playing it? Thanks!
@kenbefound Yes, I have the original Revenge of Shinobi. I got one of the earliest Sega genesis consoles. This is back when the core unit came with the game Altered Beast. Revenge Of Shinobi was the second game I got. In the booklet it sayes he is the District: 6 Boss. The book sayes at the bottom of page 14 *Spiderman character is 1989 Marvel Entertainment Group. They gave Spiderman a copyright, but not Batman in my user's manual.
Nice review. What a trip down memory lane. I have played and won Shinobi for MS, Shinobi for GG, Revenge of Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, and Shinobi 3 for Genesis. Then I stopped playing games for years so I never got to play the Saturn and PS2 versions. I sure would love to though, my favorite series of all time.
Shinobi 3 is my favorite and I've won it more time then I can count. I can still win it without continues to this day.
dude, your shinobi collection is awesome, though you are missing the saturn game, and also the mega drive was released in japan in 1988, just wanted to point that out
There actually was a port of the original Shadow Dancer arcade on Amiga....wasn`t a perfect adaptation of course but it was playable and i think it had all of the levels in it if memory serves
Great job man. I was hooked on Shinobi in the arcade and bought an Sega Master System just for that port!
I was also extremely happy with the Genesis game Revenge of Shinobi which brought the series to a new level of excitement for me. Shinobi III is also great.
I was a little let down with the Shadow Dancer Genesis port compared to the great arcade counterpart which was much more like the original arcade Shinobi IMO. It was still decent, but just seemed like they could have done better IMO.
Meh. I liked the music on Shinobi 3 the best. It felt really upbeat, and it sounds very ninja-esque. I'd say its one of the best soundtracks on the genesis, on tier with the Sonic games and Streets of Rage games.
I love the shinobi games,Revenge of shinobi was my fav' megadrive(genesis)game,I had the version wit' spiderman & batman.I was dissapointed it wasn't included in the 360's ultimate megadrive collection,but the inclusion of shinobi 3 & the original arcade version made up 4 it somewhat.A totaly new shinobi 4 the 360 & ps3 would be amazin' if done properally!
Oh yes, Johnny - Back when 7-Eleven was a cool place to hang play arcade games while chomping on a cherry slurpee ^_^ Sega mesmerized me with the original Shinobi. I must've spent hundreds of dollars in quarters playing that game until I was able to master it from beginning to end. Dec '89 - I was 3 months into the Sega Genesis experience and learned Revenge of Shinobi had just been released. I snatched that bad boy up came home popped it in the Gen - GOD ALMIGHTY The graphics the sound superb!
I almost cried with joy - lol I felt Sega outdone themselves from the original Shinobi coin-op!
Just when I thought things couldn't get any better. Shadow Dancer coin-op had me in awe ! The attaack dog feature complimented your Ninja skills - there was nothing like it in any game I ever played ! I think it was Yuzo Koshiro that got me into importing CDs in the early 1990s. The prices were steep but it was fascinating owning a video game soundtrack on a CD, at the time!
The classic Shinobi series is one I enjoy playing. I have only played the ones released for the Genesis. Do the carts go for a pretty penny now? I would be they do. Great review man! 5 stars for ya!
Revenge of Shinobi have got to be my favorite Genesis game. It's really the only Genesis game that I remember finishing.Going back to play it now...it's a lot harder than I remembered it.
Two days after watching this video I strangely found a mint copy of "Shadow Dancer" at a flea market! It was a bit expensive (7.5€, for me it's a lot even if it came with box and instruction booklet) but I bought it anyway! And I'm obviously not disappointed!
Good video. Revenge of Shinobi was one of my favorite games. It was the first game i got when i got my genesis and for some reason i still have it. its the only video game i have left from those days.
excellent! im a huge fan of batman and i was looking for any game with him in it for a rather large review i want to do. ill have to track down that shinobi game! keep up the great work!
This is crazy, I played and loved Revenge of shinobi shortly after the Genesis launch, but never do I recall ever hearing of Shinobi 3, nor have I ever played it! I gotta go check it out.
Nice! Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi was a game I used to always play when I was...dumped in Club Med in Bali. They had a Sega Mega Drive there, and whenever the program had an empty slot where there was free time, we took turns playing through the game. I NEVER KNEW THE NAME OF THE GAME UNTIL RECENTLY! That was how much I missed it! Same went for Golden Axe.
You got me thinking, I don't think I ever completed Revenge of Shinobi. In fact, I don't think I made it past the first couple of levels. I finished the third one many times but not the second. I knew Spiderman was in it because I remember seeing the credit to Marvel at the start but I don't remember seeing him!
Exellent review so far, i love you channel, the production of your channel is amazing i love it, when i watch your channel it takes me back to been a kid again i get really excited everyime you upload a new video its just like getting anew gaming mag when i was 14! and im no 29 lol
On December 24,2006 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead.Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death.His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened.Turns out he was still signed into myspace.She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter.if you don't repost this to 6 videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't wanna die
Hey, how could you leave out Shinobi Legions (Shinobi X) on the Saturn? That game was awesome! There are also a couple original Shinobi games on the Game Gear that don't show up in your line-up there.
An excellent review as always Johnny. I've only ever played Shinobi III. I've played it on the sega genesis collection for the PS2. It is definitely an awesome game even if the last two levels are very annoying.
I live in Europe in the U.K. and I have shadow dancer on the master system and it's slower than the arcade but still works out well GREAT VIDEO!!! 5 Stars
Man you TOTALLY ROCK! I am a HUGE Shinobi fan, I'm so happy you're making episodes on them! Shinobi III being my personal favorite of all time, I'Ve played them ALL except Nightshade T_T I still can't find it, maybe someday I'll order it on Ebay from a friend of something. Good Episode man! :D
Awesome series....the only arcade cab I own and have ever owned is Shinobi....awesome game and brings back so many gas station memories....my cab is pretty rough but the board still looks great...maybe time for a project...
not THE best "series history" episode in HCG history!! I also had no idea Yūzō Koshiro did Shinobi 2! I really enjoyed this look back at Shinobi! Great episode!
Great review HCG! I never realized that Batman and Spiderman are in the game too. That's really interesting that Sega put them in there without Marvel's permission.
Sweet I have Revenge of Shinobi for Genesis but I never noticed Yūzō Koshiro did the music in it. It was pretty good music. Not sure if it's as good as Streets of Rage but that's damn good music!
Jeez, all I did was say Shinobi 3 was my favorite out of the Shinobi games that I've tried so far. Kinda harsh to give me a thumbs down just because of that. :(
amazing video, great work! I've got a very soft spot for the shinobi franchise, especially the original arcade game and its master system conversion, so I've really loved this first part :)
hey i wasnt to sure whether to point this out but on the desk your missing Shinobi X for the sega saturn (also it might have a different name in america im english)
i loved shinobi i loved and hated the sms one great game but there was no ending that so pissed me off and i bet it on one life just to make sure there wasnt an ending. revenge of shinobi was my fav too i had the original i didnt know that marvel dc thing if i did i would have kept it
Revenge Of Shinobi is one of my all time favourite Mega Drive games, truly a fantastic action adventure that still holds up. Loving the retrospective Johnny! :)
Regarding shadow dancer. Here in England there are versions for the C64, Sinclair Spectrum, AMiga, Atari St and Amstrad cpc series :)

Awesome! Shinobi is a great series. I was going to look at some Shinobi games, but I guess I'll hold off for a little while :)

Great review HCG! I never realized that Batman and Spiderman are in the game too. That's really interesting that Sega put them in there without Marvel's permission.

Sweet I have Revenge of Shinobi for Genesis but I never noticed Yūzō Koshiro did the music in it. It was pretty good music. Not sure if it's as good as Streets of Rage but that's damn good music!

I think Yuzo Koshiro only did a small part of the music for Brawl

Personally, I like Shinobi 3 the best. Haven't tried most of them, though.

@anupsanju
You don't really need to try any others. Shinobi III really was the best one.

Jeez, all I did was say Shinobi 3 was my favorite out of the Shinobi games that I've tried so far. Kinda harsh to give me a thumbs down just because of that. :(

thank you so much for making this video and reminding me why you're my favorite video game show on youtube.

amazing video, great work! I've got a very soft spot for the shinobi franchise, especially the original arcade game and its master system conversion, so I've really loved this first part :)

I may be alone in this, but Shadow Dancer was my favorite in the series. It's a shame it wasn't in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection :(

Revenge is my favorite too and the music is better however the surfing level on Shinobi 3 has one of the best soundtracks on the megadrive/genesis
