Shinobi for PC Engine - 1989

[rippinkorpse]

great game, looks very fun, u can kinda tell where metal slug got the whole prisoner saving idea, gotta love that 2d sidescrolling mayhem though!

[dezm101]

great port! A seriously awesome game

[Lorfarius]

Pretty good port, couldn't find this anywhere when I was looking for a copy :(

[jugghead82]

Alittle Shinobi is a good thing hehee Great VID Bro

[AdyShearer]

I prefer the SMS version, which i own :D

[markvergeer]

Love the music on this system. It's quirky. A very nice version of Shinobi. And it is FAST!!!

[sumit3175]

cool Mate its a nice game is int it a bit hard to play

[pocketmego]

Now this is a BAD ASS version of this game. I dare say it looks better than the SMS one.

Closer in style to the actual arcade game. This is what I imagine a bad-ass Genesis version of this game might have looked like.

[narox]

@pocketmego Yeah the sprites are large and the action is fast!

[ArcadeMameMachine]

Shinobi definitely needs a mask to be a ninja, he looks really lame with out it, great video.

[narox]

@techromancer1 You should make a video of you rapping techbromancer. XD

[techromancer1]

@narox not now wifeys calling me for dinner ..lol

[jboypacman]

This is a pretty outstanding port of Sega's arcade classic but the Master system edges it out due to it actually has the throwing star bonus stages which are so cool lol.

[narox]

@jboypacman I will do the Master System Shinobi next though it only has two short auto demo sequence. Thanks for your knowledge Jbropacman.

[jboypacman]

@narox Well you could always use the SMS version in one of your awesome shout videos too.

[narox]

@jboypacman The SMS Shinobi auto demo is too short to include shout outs. I will sure do shout out at another time.

[narox]

@jboypacman Hello John, I have decided not to do a SMS Shinobi video since pocketmego has already done a review of it and posted a response here.

[jboypacman]

@narox That makes sense maybe you could do one for some other Ninja game like Shadow of the Ninja on the NES,

[techromancer1]

@jboypacman welcome to bounus stage ..lol:P

[jboypacman]

@techromancer1 lol. : D

[edotsuki333]

[narox]

@edotsuki333 You probably will need a converter. Thanks for sharing dude. :)

[noel3200]

i would like to check out this version if i ever get a pc engine

[narox]

@noel3200 PC Engine is good for japanese shmup games too.
