I played some Shinobi back in the day on GG but had mostly forgotten about it, been playing 1 on master system and 3 on mega drive lately, these games are GREAT! , graphics on III are killer as well, I love the multiple layers of parallax. Any similar games this fun and pretty on Genesis? Shinobi thread??

Try Shadow Dancer for Genesis/Mega Drive, it's really fun. For similar games I would recommend Castlevania for the same system.

I've been playing III and Revenge recently, and man, III corrects SO MANY problems that Revenge had.

3 is the worst one of the main games by far, Hagane on the SNES is like an improved version. Classic Shinboi and Shadow Dancer are awesome though

OP here, really?? I'm just loving 3, enjoying the variety of stages and learning different strats for getting through each level/boss unscathed. 1 was a lot of fun as well, the static background / foreground is a bit of an eyesore though.

Checking out Shadow Dancer - didn't know this existed - will give it a play after I'm finished with III.

I played revenge for about 5 min before moving on - I'll probably go back to it after even though it has a few issues!

3 is kinda crap once you get past the visuals, levels look nice but the layouts are really bland and uninspired with garbage encounter design, its got a bunch of filler shit like elevator rides and lame autoscrollers and theres little challenge. They have a bunch of mechanics but dont do anything interesting with them, its a wasted opportunity

>>5517269
Yer the autoscrollers are a bit shit I agree -- I don't mind the elevators. I can kind of see what you are getting at with the mechanics, but still find most things useful in some way

The last level is fantastic though. With all the tight platforming. A few more levels with that level of challenge would have been amazing

You have no idea what hell you have just released. God have mercy on our souls.

The whole game should have been a mix of that and actually well designed enemy encounters...kinda like Hagane, but instead its just halfassed

... Except hagane is kinda shite and nowhere near as tight control wise. Cool designs tho.
