Why do some many people play with infinite shurikens?

I have ben trying to find a good let's play of Revenge of Shinobi but so many people cheat their way through the game with this? Why do so many people use this?

Has anyone ever made a cheat to play with no shurikens, which also disables shuriken pickups? I wanna play through the game like that.

This glitch can only be done with a keyboard on a emulator or any controller with a joystick. This will not work on a Genesis controller. Hold left on the joystick while pressing right on the d-pad.

Because they can't deal with the fact that they're always spending a resource every time they throw them psychologically even though it doesn't actually matter and the game has more than enough shurikens to never have to worry about them. desu I don't even know why they added limited shurikens in the first place, I guess it was borrowed from Rolling Thunder but those games did a far better job at making you conserve your bullets.

The blatant copyright infringement in this game makes me laugh, like how the fuck did they think they would get away with it? There is some plausible deniability with the references to Rambo and the Hulk/Terminator early on.

>>5730580
The developers of Revenge even did: from Noriyoshi Ohba “In the original Shinobi, you died when you are hit once, but in the sequel Joe has HP. We designed it this way because while Shinobi was designed to be played for about three minutes with one coin, The Revenge Of Shinobi was a console game and cost considerably more. It was also a much bigger game, so introducing a damage system was much more suitable.” Blow me, retard.

The game still had plenty of bullshit jumps, annoying enemy encounters and tougher bosses than the original and its not like you can spam the shuriken shower its use has to be planned. The original game is easy and fair for the most part, with the major exceptions being the level 3 boss which will definitely kill you for a while until you realize you cant waste a second and the first part of the last level with the bullshit flying ninjas that need to be memorized. The rest is smooth sailing, the lack of lifebar really doesn't do much to add to its challenge

Yeah it only me just a few hours to 1cc it, and a no death run wouldn't take too long either. You'll probably die to the final boss a couple of times but it's really not hard at all, just make sure to use your magic if things get hairy in the second phase where he summons the tornado, that's the most dangerous part. The others are quite easy as long as you don't lose your concentration, first one is just walk to the right and attack,walk to the right attack, stay close to him when he's summoning clones and kill them, and the final phase is just throw shuriken from a distance and jump backwards if you see him running at you

Try slowly walking the very tip of the ledge and then jumping and doing a double jump when you are close to the platform. Joe doesn't seem to build up speed, so it is fine to start from the very end of the ledge. You can either try to make the jump easier by using the Ninjutsu of Fushin or you can use Ninjutsu of Ikazuchi to avoid enemies knocking you into the water. I also make sure to get most hidden lives and hidden Ninjutsus.

[Anonymous No.5733246]

>>5733226
Not really, this is the closest they commented on it:

“I made some rough sketches of characters from my mind and from some photos due to my lack of drawing ability,” reveals Ohba. “They were meant to be used as a rough example. Unfortunately, the designer of the sprites reproduced my drawings a bit too faithfully and you know the end result. I personally think that if the designer had tried to show more of his own personality in those characters, they would have looked a lot different to the originals. Those bosses were created by taking each one’s weak point and how to kill them into consideration. We created each of them considering what you specifically need to do to kill them, what movement you need to use to avoid the boss’s attack, and then arranged them in order of difficulty.”

They only had the copyright to Spider-Man the time they made the boss. Revenge was made in the 80s and these things were popular back then.

[Anonymous No.5733250]

When I was a kid I didn't like the change from arcade infinite shurikens to limited. So I always used the cheat. I think that might have been why many play with infinite. To make it more like the first game.

[Anonymous No.5735134]

[Anonymous No.5736291]

>>5727481
It's not cheating, it's an easy difficulty level. It's still obeying rules of the game.

And the reason people like to use infinite shurikens is because then the game plays more like typical run'n'guns like Contra, Ghosts and Goblins or Metal Slug.
If you have limited shurikens, then it plays closer to something like Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania.

It' s a matter of preference.

[Anonymous No.5736301]

They should have included that... Shinobi 3 allows you to map sword to another button so you can do a no-shuriken run easily, and console Shadow Dancer lets you disable shurikens.

I set it to 0 and max difficulty, but I'm not a bad enough dude to avoid picking them up and using them. You still end up with a ton of them if you don't die much, but it makes bosses scary.
