I loved this game, and I never once landed a hit on that damn boss. I killed her with the extra magic you get when you use a continue, and I figured that was the bad ending you got for using continues...
Wow...the arcade version is absolute crap compared to the genesis/mega drive version. The animations are hilariously awkward, like out of one of those 'interactive movie' games. I feel sorry for the poor saps that actually played it through to the end like that, all that money popped in the machine for a pretty mediocre ending. Also the final boss on Genesis is 100000x cooler, and tougher to beat, just saying.
@jcdenton2k yeah it´s funny that from this game that looks so ridiculous we got shadow dancer for genesis which has a better atmosphere, the same happend with the original shinobi game, which was really stupid, so joe passe from rescuing baby ninjas to go fighting demons, ghost samurais, godzilla, terminator, spider-man & Batman, etc.
I work for a video game distributor for the middle east, and I wonder why no one makes platform games anymore? Its jsut racing or shooting video games.... I am aware that sammy who own sega are relasing the first platform game in a long time soon, but apparently its not that good.... bring back shadow dancer
I thought it was an ok game but at the time of its release I was pretty gutted being a HUGE fan of the original Shinobi (I now own a Shinobi arcade machine!!) this game was nowhere near as good as the original. (IMO of course)
You cannot imagine how much money I had spended as a kid, playing thiss game in the cafes that had it.. I never got to finish it though.. So, I saw its ending after 15 years..
@sicstyl it's actually easy once you get control of your close surrounding. There's technical moves you'll learn against opponents and it's much easier. Last boss there's a much easier way to beat than this on the video too.
*may contain spoilers for those who haven't played the game* the plot of Shadow Dancer (arcade version) was that the radical terrorist group known as Asian Dawn are plotting to hijack and sabotage a space shuttle mission, and it's up to Hayate Musashi (the son of the original Shinobi known as Joe Musashi), and his dog Yamato to put an end to Asian Dawn's plot.
@daminmancejin Lol, sega version can't hold water to this Arcade. It's totally different game and Arcade is 100 times much better, just look at the moves, bosses, graphics are better too. Everything is much better dude.
how can i download this on my pc? can you give me a full guide?
