It’s been a hell of a month for side-scrollers from 20 or more years ago. First Sonic, next Mario and now Shinobi. Joe Musashi is back, on the 3DS. This launch trailer sets up his mission of revenge and shows off what looks like some gyrometer-enabled gameplay.

Shinobi 3DS Is Losing Beauty Contests To Metal Gear Solid 3DS

If you thought Metal Gear Solid 3DS looked ugly, get a load of what Sega and Griptonite are doing to Shinobi. Maybe they’ll look better in 3D?

Shinobi Returns To Its Roots For 3DS Outing

Ignore that this is a 3D game for Nintendo’s latest portable. Ignore that it’s been nearly a decade since we’ve seen a new title staring Joe Musashi. Embrace, instead, the fact that this is a Shinobi that fans of the 1987 arcade game may recognise and could come to love.
