  • That would be an awesome game lol

  • HD ?

  • when I was a kid and finally finished it I got so happy!

    Now I can play the whole game without taking a single hit...

    Good times

  • @KamenGatack

    sir, i don't believe you

  • @paulwarnstedt Okay, maybe not " a single hit"...

    But I can finish the game without losing a life

  • wii

  • nomnomnom love cgr!!!!

  • come on shinobi on ps2 is my third favourite shinobi with shadow dancer being my favorite and revenge being second favorite i know what you mean buy going 3d that is does not always work like in worms but it worked with shinobi

  • @supervenom2000 I totally agree with you except my favorites are slightly different. Shadow Dancer being my favorite, second favorite is Revenge of Shinobi, third favorite Shinobi Legions for the Sega Saturn and then Shinobi for the PS2. :)

  • Comment removed

  • The neon meassages in the background actually read "DON'T STOP NEO ZEED"

  • (new shinobi for 3ds is announced) so what were you saying about a new shinobi sidescroller reimagined with the power of the newer consoles?

  • I WANT TO GET THE FIRST VERSION WITH SPIDERMAN IN IT. grew up with spiderman of course. that alone makes me want to get that game.

  • wow, I was unaware that I had a later release of ROS. And he was mistaken I apparently have the 3rd release, because I fight a giant skeleton t rex instead of Godzilla, and my copy is for geneses

  • Comment removed

  • This is the second time spiderman was a badguy in something.

  • blaster master has been remade for the wii

  • I was thinking that the next Shinobi should be on XBLA and PSN. It will be cool if Platinum Games would make it also.

  • Thank you for giving a glimse of my childhood back to me :). I got this game from England, the six pack (but it had Fifa instead of Sonic). Having no internet, and in a 3rd world country with no one else around me with the same game, it was all me. Clearing each level was so much fun. It definitely is one of the best games ever made. You missed alot of hidden powers, but thats ok, you're playing after 20 years... i spent alot of time with shinobi :)

    The last round was extremely mind boggling.

  • 19 people didn't find the extra life in each level

  • @eyeMsogr8

    I liked, and didn't find the one at the second level :)

  • Boost Mobil BullShit Detection. Best. Advert. On. Youtube.

  • shinobi should be in the next sm movie lol

  • godzilla!!!!!!

  • Damn, I never finished the game, I didn't know Spiderman and Godzilla was in this game, AWESOME!

  • there is a new one comming out on 3ds

  • 8:17 -"I'm an ENORMOUS Godzilla fan..."

    - can I request you review a game called "Godzilla: Domination" for the GBA? I enjoyed that game, and it has a few famous characters from the Godzilla franchise, from Mothra, Rodan, MecahGodzilla, Godzilla and King Ghidorah

  • Can we get part 3 soon? :P

  • @jensbuhler He's about 2 1/2 years late. lol

  • @SoApBoX Yeah it's a shame :(

    I'm sure he's had the time somewhere in between :P

  • that sounds like an awesome game you're talking about at the end. I would buy that shit so fast.

    It could work like a Power Rangers thing, where Shinobi goes through the levels, and once you get to the boss you fight it as Godzilla.

    so cool...

  • and i had a genesis since 1993 and i totally missed the shinobi series :S

  • its been 4 years from this review and Mark totally forgot about doing shinobi 3 >_<

  • That's not Batman, that's the Japanese Superhero 'Devilman', created by Go Nagai

  • @thecompletebast yeah that's the second version, the first version had an actual Grey tights, pointy ears that looked like batman with bat wings

  • Dude! I love this guy's reviews! I mean seriously, I bought a NES advantage controller because his review was so good. Not only that, but he has a fine taste in gaming.

  • Fuck destroyah killing godzilla Shinbo punched him.

  • Mark, if you love this game so much, why haven't you reviewed Shinobi III? IMO, S3 is the best of the series, and I have them all, including Shinobi on Saturn. But Shinobi III was the best!

  • Actually the first Revenge of Shinobi has the following characters. Spiderman, Batman, Godzilla, Terminator and Rambo.

  • Shinobi, Gaiden and Ninja Five-0 Rocks!!!

  • The life bar goes up every 50 thousand points. Plus on the junkyard the second part of it you can pick up lives easily on the first conveyor belt there is 2x life in the bottom corner of it so just pick it up and lose it and repeat it. This game is one of my favorites ever awsome gamplay great music by yuzo koshiro who done streets of rage the whole package is one of the best the genisis ever had and definetly one of the best sega ever created LONG LIVE THE GENISIS

  • Hahaha! He's a ninja...WITH A HEART!

  • Wait wait wait wait wait ... Arent shinobi Elite ninjas (Not this ninjas Name) and isnt the Singular of shinobi shinobu ?

  • I was never a big fan of this Shinobi but I loved the Shinobi 3. I didn't even know Godzilla, Batman, and SpiderMan were in the game...lmao. I'm going to have to see what version I have now.

    How do you know what version is what? Besides you know getting to the levels?

  • 18 ppl suck bowls greatest game ever!!!

    awsome i didnt know spiderman & batman was in it lol

  • This was even more entertaining with youtube's 'transcribe audio' option turned on. It transcribed one line of dialogue as "but your life neutered respect to the original".

  • I suppose making a 3D shinobi game would be parallel to making Raiden into something more like Ace Combat. I see what you're sayin

  • FYI - you can snag yourself a LOT of extra lives in the industrial level. On the first reverse-going conveyor belt there is a one-up just below the first "bend" of the belt. If I recall correctly, you have to use the spinning 8x shuriken shot to get it. Then you ride the belt down to your death, pushing Shenobi to the right to grab it just before he falls. It turns out this is actually TWO 1-ups, so each time you die getting this, you get one more life.

  • That batman replacement looks a lot like Devilman.

  • This is quite an excellent review. The fact that he feels really passionate a bout the game comes across very well.It's a pity his reviews of modern games are nowhere near as good as this.

  • took me time to beat that game as a kid but it was always fun <3

  • el q llo tengo godsila es un esqeleto

  • Dude I'd straight buy a New Genesis with Shinobi teaming up with Godzilla.

  • In terms of action, Shinobi III takes a dump on this. But this game looks quite impressive and innovative. The level design seems more thought out.

  • who the hell clicked dislike!?! If i knew where you lived i would genuinly mail you a dog turd!

  • best game forever.

  • better than mario, its why Sega will always better than nintendo

  • DUDE! how come you didn't make a review about the third game return of the ninja master its even cooler as a sequel,i know that you actualy have good memories about that one but make and for the third as well!

  • i just got this game for the genesis...i don't like it. the difficulty is ridiculous, worse than Ninja Gaiden, partially because i cannot beat the first boss because of sluggish, unresponsive controls. i should have bought Streets of Rage 2.

  • @Capstain259

    You would like Shinobi III better. They redesigned the gameplay to make it faster and more responsive.

  • @Obviously

    yeah, i have seen gameplay footage and it does look far superior, i will probably pick it up sometime.

  • @Capstain259 Agree Streets of Rage 2 is better, probably the best Sega Genesis/MegaDrive game and still in my top 5 faves on any platform.

    However, to EASILY beat the 1st boss next time you play...

    ...Firstly go to options and selet 00 (ZERO) shurikens but wait until the 00 turns into an infinity symbol - now you have unlimited shurikens.

    When you encounter boss #1 simply jump onto the wall and use the sommersalt shuriken move all the time and you can beat him with no damage!

  • @DippShits

    well, first off i consider Strider and Gunstar Heroes to be the best games on the genesis, but that is just my opinion. i have used the infinite shurukins cheat, but i have not used summersaul shuruken. i do beat the boss, but i lose a bunch of lives in the process and die later on, as i said the games difficulty curve is ridiculous, and i have gotten to the last boss in Ninja Gaiden so i do not just suck. this is to the games disadvantage, but again, that is just me.

  • Spiderman always said he gives everybody one. In here, he gives Shinobi one... hundred.

  • Get the game right dude

  • Esse cara jogando é muito ruim!!!!!

  • of course shinobi wouldnt kill a crying women even if that was after she tried to kill him. He's a ninja, ninjas have honor.

  • @thrashitupX samurais had honor and a code, ninjas had no masters,no honour only duty to perform and a clan

  • @bladerj samurai didn't have honor either, they were treacherous deceivers. the bushido code was created after the heyday of the samurai. ninja had masters, and most ninja were samurai.

  • I don't know if Godzilla teaming up with Shinobi would be such a good idea. It reminds me of the Star-Wars games. Where Darth Vador teamed with the main character. While it might sound like a good idea in theory. This just brought down the average age of those playing the game.

  • Did anyone else here that sound at 9:27? I also saw the life gauge move up a bit when he grabbed that Pow a few seconds before that. But, this could just be a graphical glitch. 

  • Comment removed

  • i fucking love this dude. subscribed

  • One of my first and one of my favorite genesis games of all time. I always got to the end but could never get passed that cave level with the doors. It wasnt till i saw someone on youtube beat the game that i finally saw ending. It took 20 years!

  • The soundtrack is damn good. I'm sold.

  • sprite games are superior to 3-D games in every way, nuff said.

  • @OverruledDood yes yes they are.

  • hahaa...shinobizilla.... i like that idea of yours paul!!! =D

  • in the options, if you set your shurikens for 00, just wait for like 10 - 20 seconds and it turns into infinite.

  • Oh and I'm totally with ya about realism and lack of fun in the next gen games that only focus on graphical achievements. The Golden Days of Gaming are gone but definetely not forgotten!

  • Simply amazing title for SEGA Mega Drive! Didn't know about the 3 different versios. Thanx for the info dude! Nice review ;)

  • @sybnios yeah, I have the same version he's playing, the 2nd one. I wish I had the Batman version.

  • the reason the girl ninja's in china town don't explode his because the fall on they're knees and cover they're breasts caus eyou knock they're bra's off in the game!

  • @TheScorpionMK37 I was wondering if anyone else noticed this. I always wondered as a kid why they didn't die like everyone else, then one day emulation happened and I could see it quite clearly. This ninja's quite a perv, eh?

  • @tjfennel Yeah I know it was hard for me to figure that out when I was 5.

  • i tried to clear that game on hard with no shurkins impossible! but it was fun

  • GO GO GODZILLA!!!

  • This is one of the best reviews ever - I love the dude's accent, tone of voice, manner of speech, humour, and taste!

  • new games SUCK ASS old school games really had all the fun........

  • this looks like an amazing game man you are my inspiration to be a game reviewer i love your reviews i could just watch them all day

  • 2 words 4 ya Ninja Gaiden r Guyden

  • You know there is a Shinboi for the Saturn, and it is in 2D!

  • Hey Mark! Can U Review Manhunt 2 Or Manhunt 1 :)

  • I love godzilla too, I saw almost all of them

  • SHINOBIZILLA YESSSSSS

  • lol a ninja battles spiderman ,batman and godzilla!!!!!!!!!

  • @GorosaurusXD batman?

  • @jakethesnakerobertz1 oh i have make an mistake :P

  • is he serious about the End bosses? he's so funny i couldn't tell

  • godzilla is in the 6-pak version.

  • go godzilla

  • @maniacchris you fail at life

  • @kyleisreallycool I'm actually quite succesful at life!

  • Awsome!

  • Have Shinobi ride on Godzilla's back throwing Shuriken at your enemies while Godzilla mops up the rest by breathing fire at them or stomping on them.

  • I have the 6-pak version.

    I also have the 6-pak.

  • Sometimes I wonder how the heck I managed to beat this game.

    Spiderman and Man-Bat/Batman FTW!

  • ..............................­.....

  • A ninja with a heart

    That's why the nun disguised ones blow up, but oh no, not if they're wearin a dress, common courtesy :V

    And from what I can tell, when the ones in dresses ""die"", the top half of their dress is torn off, and they immediately crouch+conceal themselves

    Also if you ever get hired lol, lemme know, so we can both keep 2D and the suspension of disbelief alive

  • Man, the labirynth music is so irritating!! The only music that i really hate in the game!!

  • Sweet, gotta find this for my SEGA some day :)

  • I'll be damned if that's not spider-man! He has the same colors, the same exact stance we're pretty used ot seeing him in, and he shoots webs. All of the above equal up to four things: a Spider-Man Fonie with good gear, an action figure with a crappy gimmick, one of Spider-Man's many clones or Spider-Man! I'm going with the clone thing.

  • The Revenge of Shinobizilla :D

  • The Scarface of Video Games

  • Shinobi for the ps2 was really good. Very hard and adrenaline pumping.

  • the reason why the female ninjas sit down when you defeated them is because you snapped their bras and they have to hold their dress up lol no joke.

  • @1shoryuken You're not wrong, I actually just typed a comment saying that JUST now, then I saw this, lol

  • Cant believe you mentioned Blaster master!

    My favorite game ever!

    +1 Like!

  • godzillas a bit small in this

  • Shinobi isnt his name... Shinobis ARE Ninjas. You are basically saying his name is Ninja.

  • Man-Bat

  • The "Batman" looks like Go Nagai's Devilman.

  • You know, I believe Mark and James the Angry Video Game Nerd would be great friends. I mean.. they both love ninjas and Godzilla.

  • I think this is one of your favorite Segagenesis games.

  • Revenge of shinobi for the genesis might be one of the best video games of all time. It was almost surreal how good it was back in the day.

  • How he dead?

  • actualy your shurikens undressed them

  • Lmao! The Revenge of Shinobi-zilla! i think you should run for president bro.

  • You didnt put in the infinite shuriken code in the options menu.... you reduce your starting shurikens to 0 then hold back for a few seconds.... the two 00's become the infinity symbol!

  • and i think it only as 1 ending

  • in the 3rd version i think also spiderman is replaced by a pinkman similar to him ^^

  • I would

  • me i would 

  • they should have put this game and the thunder force series on the sonic genesis collection (xbox 360).........

  • that power up that makes you jump higher doesn't help in the stage 7 level with the big waves... you still only jump as far left and right as normal... i only found this out a few years back! lol

  • Dude! This is my favorite game of all time! Yet I can't understand why you don't know how to get through the maze! I played the hell out of this game! And I know how to get through that maze. Play it for 18 hours plus and see!!!!

  • in my version magic only protect from gettig hurt!?

    No extra jump ! why that?

  • I agree with what you said about the updates of classic games, that was great punditry. I would like to add something though, and this is something that has plagued me as far as video games are concerned for the last 20 years: PLEASE keep the controls simple! I pretty much stopped playing games when the SNES came out because I remember thinking there were all these buttons and so much stuff to remember and different combos and such that it confused the hell out of me and turned me off.

  • Regarding the swap from side scrollers to 3D games, I frequently think of Mystical Ninja for N64 and it's sequel. The first was 3D and the second was a 3D sidescroller.

  • I remember this game from my childhood. It was a very good game.

  • When you destroy the truck jump off...then the true power of a ninja is revealed.Joe calmly outwalks xD the damn thing even tough it's still moving at top speed.BTW nice review man,you really showed us how a ninja game should be played.It's pretty damn awesome to know that all of you people still respect the classics that at these times most people have forgotten.

  • Oh my god I ooved this game!! I enjoyed seeing it again and hearing some of the music and sound effects from it despite the dorks review of the game, This guys obiously has mt pimples than hes been on dates.

  • @Krayfish77 Who's dorkier, the guy who makes video game reviews that literally millions of people from around the globe watch, or the guy who comments on these videos calling him names with bad spelling and grammar?

  • @banasrab Also, the reviewer is married.

  • @MrSaturn33 MAN we never see game reviewers wives. The Nerd has one. Craig from screwattack (i believe) has one. and even derrek was engaged. WHY do they never talk abouy their wives (even though they could keep it to themselves if they want to, its there buisiness) but none of them tell us that they habe a wife.

  • @GamerNinjaX Good point, but the fact of the matter is it's not important. Sure they're going to be worthless morons who are like, "THE NERD CAN'T BE MARRIED!" "OR OH MY GOD IS THE NERD MARRIED!?" But it just isn't important to the content they make. Sure, Doug might briefly mention James' wife or he might make a casual video with a wedding ring, but it's his personal life and we shouldn't care anyway.

  • @MrSaturn33 yah true like I said. you do have a good point. its their own darn buisness not anyone elses. People have a life even the most famous ones. and they are alowed to keep it to themselves. thats why I hate critics sometimes. with the famous pop stars and stuff it just makes me sick seeing people ask those questions nobody would want them to answer. LEAVE THEM ALONE. people look up to some people. but in reality. they are as human as we ever are. and yes I spelt have wrong. good point.

  • @GamerNinjaX or would not want to answer sry for mistake

  • @MrSaturn33 I wonder if Doug is married. I like how the nerd and him fight but really..its just for them to get more advertising.

  • @banasrab .........urm....the first one?

  • @Krayfish77 i bet you play world of warcraft while eating doritos in your pants, you have probably never had a girlfriend and probably live in your moms basement

  • @Krayfish77 FINALLY, had to go back 10 goddamn pages to find your comment and tell you that you suck at both games and 3rd grade spelling.

  • paquete ke eres xaval!!!!

  • WOW! Look spider-man and godzilla is in this!

  • Was really enjoyable watching you play. You showed some real heart and skill playing properly on the original console, not using savestates to easily beat the game like so many other videos too!

  • man oh man... good memories

    i played Shinobi (this one) on 6in1 catrige

    and seems to me some levels are missing (or maybe i just forgot them)

    but i do know for sure that spiderman was not definately there

    and godzila was replaced with some giant dino-looking robot

    btw the most enjoyable level for me was level 1, and pretiest for some reason

  • Hey  does anyone knows how to shoot multiple shurikens with shinobi? I'm working on that right now, on how to shoot more than one shuriken?

  • @Tanakun09

    double jump (he must spin in air) and shoot :P

  • @snuhr Thanks for the tip.

  • nice video,thx!

  • seriously... CGR needs to review the power rangers side scrolling game for snes and gen. it was awesome... I just played it again the other day. it has a level of detail and quality you dont see in a lot of games based on shows or movies. and the bosses are awesome. its like double dragon meets shinobi

  • flame user... hehehe when i'm still playing this game, I usually take the last special ability, the exploding corpse, That's too powerful^^ there's a secret in this game which you can earn infinite lives as you can, it takes time^^ pls find it on round 4~5^^

  • He doesnt kill the ladies not because he has a heart... its because he has a penis... xD

  • that purple chinese guy with the whip its the UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST MASTER ASIA

  • Love Your Game Reviews

  • please do a review of shadow dance: the secret of shinobi !!!

  • u forgot the flamethrower guys who resemble Rambo, then they got bald for the revisions lol

  • I would absolutely buy anything that has to do with Godzilla. So a side scroller where Godzilla teams up with a ninja? Sounds bad ass. You could just do it with a straight up character select screen: choose Shinobi, Godzilla, Spiderman, Batman, or the Dog.

    I mean, I love the Godzilla fighting games pipeworks is doing but what I wouldn't give to play another balls-to-wall insane side-scroller like GMOM. The Kitchen Sink was even in it!

  • Yeah seriously, 2D desperately needs to come back. Sega should try 2D platforming with series like Shinobi, Alex Kidd, Wonder Boy, and Vectorman, and Sonic. I believe with those series as 2D side scrollers in today's world would probably break records in fun, storylines, and characters! Just think.... new games, classic, fun gameplay with more "suspension of belief" than imaginable!

  • @Monsterworldfan64 Even the "realistic" games have a significant suspension of belief.

    Don't worry about platformers, there's plenty out there. Commercially, there's Castlevania, Mario, and other things like that that just haven't changed, and a majority of "art games" are straight up platformers with metaphors.

    Other independent side-scrollers, like Cave Story, are getting commercial versions as digital downloads. It's the beginning of the side-scroller renaissance.

  • @Monsterworldfan64

    SEGA released 2D sonic just few weeks ago I think.

  • @Arppis nop, Sonic 4 was now announced to came out in end of year :/ and will not be for Windows

  • @BarugoSama

    Ah, well that sucks... But is not surprising that it isn't out for PC.

  • This one has Devil Man instead of Batman.

  • Didnt you fight spiderman in this? and that last prick bar with the hair? this game was awesome.

  • dude i love this REVIEW !!!!

  • There is also a version 1.04 that was made when this game made it onto the Wii Virtual Console that removed Spidey and replaced him with a new boss that acts like him.

  • revenge of shinobi...zilla lol. but yea all i want is for 2d to come back but i want them to take the same time they take to make visual masterpieces like God of War 3. imeen Muramasa looks really good and thats on Wii. i cood only imagine what the other 2 systems cood do with 2D

  • 2D platforming with 3D graphics kinda like the new Super Mario games or Trine.

    If I had my own game company, I'd hire you. Shinobizilla. Awesome.
