Although the game is back, it’s a shadow of its former self. Unfortunately, this is where the port of the game falls apart, and horribly so. A downloadable version of the classic Genesis game, provided through the PlayStation Network service. It’s like the Sega Smash Pack version of this game all over again, but with completely different issues. As a 16-bit game, the visuals are definitely dated and nowhere near what people would accept from even a budget game in 2012. Unlike a lot of old Sega Genesis games, The Revenge of Shinobi hasn’t been seen for well over a decade. Using a ninja sword and shurikens, you'll hunt down your nemeses and enter a fight to the death. The game loses a lot of its nostalgia value with the removal of all the pop culture licenses, but almost certainly, it was the loss of these licenses that kept the game off the various Genesis collections released over the past few years, rather than a loss of the original code.

On paper getting The Revenge of Shinobi with a juke box, a few tweaks, trophy support, online leaderboards and the ability to play all three regional variants for three dollars less than the exact port the Wii’s Virtual Console received would be a no-brainer that any gamer would think was the better deal and then probably rush out to get if they were even remotely a fan of the game.

It's been three years since the criminal organization Zeed tasted defeat at the hands of Joe Musashi. I’m a big fan of all Overworks’ games, especially the Sakura Wars and Phantasy Star games. You're Musashi, a mystical warrior who sees and knows all. Ninjas shouldn’t be clomping around like they have work boots on, that’s all I’m saying. While the core mechanics of a side-scrolling platformer had already been done to death by the point The Revenge of Shinobi was released, it still managed to stand out as something pretty unique thanks to the magic, limited shuriken and unique end bosses. As the last boss had “SNK End Boss Syndrome” before the term was even invented, expect to see the bad ending almost every time. Stick to the Wii version, wait for this version to be patched, or go get an old cart and working Sega Genesis. Story & Modes: Good Selections from the soundtrack are often played at video game symphony concerts and are pretty memorable, even if you haven’t played the game. However, Sega chose to focus on extra instead of the core game and that’s why things fell apart. You won’t regret it.
Sega's ninja series is bound for the silver screen with Drive producer Marc Platt on board to bring it there.
