Anyone remember this game? I am not a fagget but so much people don't know about this game yet they say ''Oh i remember the times when i saved the princess in Super Mario Bros!'' ''Oh remember speeding through the level as sonic!'' seriously this is a fucking great game and you should get a ROM for it. Any speedrunning tips?

I prefer Revenge. Super Shinobi II's gameplay made the game too easy and there were too many autoscroll sections.
Uh... yeah, Shonibi is included in many retro game compilations for newer systems, it's on the PS3/360 Genesis collection, it's on Nintendo's virtual consoles, etc. It's one of Sega's most famous franchises, after Sonic and Streets of Rage.

I agree.

Sad thing is, the beta for III looks much better than the game we ended up with.
Still a great game.
I prefer the first arcade game but a dog is fine too

Could Joe Musashi beat up Ryu Hayabusa?
I've been playing Revenge for the first time recently, I think I'm doing fine but I had to set the shuriken to 90 instead of 50 in the options, playing on normal.
Any tips on when to use the ninjitsu techniques? I only ever use the fire attack sometimes, or the one that replenishes your health. Didn't really find the one that lets you jump higher too useful.
So far I can get to Stage 7 without using any continues, but that levels keeps fucking me over, I'm learning it though. Most of the game is memorization, the only thing that fucks me is that parts where you need to make a long double jump. Again, the ninjitsu technique didn't help there either and I die there a lot.

Use the jump ninpo for stage 7 if you're bad at pixel-perfect platforming, you might also need it for the waterfall and highway stages. Don't ever use the fire or suicide ninpo. The electric ninpo is good if you're dying to certain bosses.

I like "pixel-perfect" platforming, but the controls here seem a bit weird, any tips for that?
I could get the jump done (without even using the jump powerup), but then I also died a lot of times to it (even using the powerup).
Shinobi + Bionic Commando = Ninja Five-O (or Ninja Cop)
One of my favorite GBA games. It definitely leans more on the Shinobi side of things and feels like a great evolution of the series (even though it isn't part of it)

Fuck yeah. Jitsu the fuck out of Ryu.
>>3238056
Nigga probably wouldn't even need jitsu. He'd just throw shurikens from the shadows and Ryu'd be dead.
Fuck yeah. Motherfucker fought a giant army, MORE THAN ONCE! One time, they had fucking military weapons.
>>3237869
Yeah but still almost all retro Shinobis are great for different reasons.
>>3238001
Suicide ninpo can be ok if you're going to die anyway and it will give you the win.
Best way to cheese bosses is to reach them with the upgraded shuriken, then activate electricity so you don't lose it when you get hit, I do this as a precaution because I'm a baddie.

10/10 game, easily matches the Genesis Shonobi games, far superior to the garbage GBA Shinobi game.

Try again, PAL faggot.

Dash attack everything

>o much people don't know about this game yet they say ''Oh i remember the times when i saved the princess in Super Mario Bros!''
Is this supposed to be a contradictory statement or something? What the fuck are you even trying to say?

Double jumping requires your input at the apex of the first jump. It's just a matter of timing. Aside from that the controls are pretty normal I think.
>>3238991
Yeah, took me a while to get used to the double jump, I still keep having problem with that specific part of the first part of stage 7 though. Anyway I just looked up online and seems to be a part a lot of people have trouble with, kind of an infamous part of the game I guess.
I like the controls actually. I like being able to walk while ducking, they just get some time to get used to.
Shinobi 2 Arcade is fucking awesome
the Shinobi 2 console version was a completely different game
As for the rest, they're good but don't quite match the fun and playability of Shinobi original Arcade or fun of Shinobi 2 Arcade
