Shinobi
There’s no doubt that ninja are among the coolest video game characters. They do everything with style; running, jumping, fighting, even breathing. These games — mostly platformers — were able to capture this no matter how limited the hardware capacity was; ninja always look awesome.
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. Players will mix…
I love Shinobi, the original 1987 arcade game, more than almost any other video game created since. Yes, I’m serious. So I’m probably atypically excited that Joe Musashi from Sega’s arcade classic is unlockable in Griptonite’s Shinobi for 3DS.
