    My favorite game ever. I beat it just yesterday, at the age of 39.

    • @starwarsunfiltered7848
      @starwarsunfiltered7848 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I beat it again today...on Hard...and limited shurikens. I still revisit this classic every 5 years or so.

      its better to beat a game than to beat your meat!

      @marcelo06 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I just put a comment on saying I never beat it then I saw yours... as a kid I got to the maze level so pretty much right to the end haha.
      Got the collection on switch so going to revisit after all these years

      @jayesper4390 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't think there was a time I couldn't beat it, but I always played on Easy or Normal. I've now beaten it on Hardest for once.

    I love this game. The music absolutely blew me away when I was a kid.

  • @joeandmichelleenriquez373

    Unlimited shurikens: In the options menu, set the shuriken level to "00" and wait about ten seconds. The zeros will morph into an infinity (Lemniscate) symbol and your shurikens count will remain at 999.

    I remember playing Shinobi for hours back then. The Genesis had a lot of games, and Shinobi was truly one of the games at the top of the food chain. Graphics, music, gameplay, it had everything you wanted from a video game. A classic game that belongs in the Hall of Fame of Videogames, if there was such a thing.

  • @parallaxcraze958
    @parallaxcraze958 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    A timeless classic, perfect game in every respects! And it also has the status of being an early Mega Drive game, released at the end of 1989, and it established new standards in console gaming.

  • @lukasgroot

    One of my childhood favorites, man I miss Classic Game Room.

    I spent a good portion of my youth playing this game. Best soundtrack ever.

  • @H00ps
    @H00ps 14 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I'm surprised he doesn't mention the shuriken trick. You go to the options screen, select 00 for shurikens and let it sit there for about 10 seconds. The 00 will turn to an infinity sign. I never played this game without doing that. Possibly the best action 16 bit title ever. I use to plug in my earphones to my Genesis console and just listened to the music in the options screen.

  • @FunkMastaMegaFlex
    @FunkMastaMegaFlex 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    What's more classic than this great game! Classic Game Room videos when they were good! I saw this one a while ago though I had no idea it was over 12 years old! Mark the intergalactic space arcade crashed, though you can return to glory.

  • @ryanc519
    @ryanc519 14 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    the technical prowess being showcased in this game was out of this world in yesterday's standard. I still remember being amazed by the arcade quality graphics produced on a home console. Also, the music written by the famed composer Yuzo is probably one of the most memorable bgm that I have ever heard in a videogame.

  • @kzbxvz
    @kzbxvz 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One of the best Mega Drive/Genesis games ever made, the music is outstanding. This one really shows the potential of the Sega 16-bit system.

  • @rickylaroza8914
    @rickylaroza8914 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    go to options put the shuriken to 00 and leave the arrow on it, wait a couple of seconds the 00 will turn into infinite :)

  • @machinavii8625
    @machinavii8625 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Shinobi III Return of the Ninja Master is my favorite in the series.

  • @AgentGustavo
    @AgentGustavo 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember this game was ultra popular in my country (El Salvador) along with Contra III, Super Castlevania IV, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles In Time, Battletoads & Double Dragon, Batman Returns, Super Street Fighter II, Gradius III, Mortal Kombat II, Ninja Gaiden and Megaman X2. Those were by the far most popular games at the time. Of course after Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Super Mario World.

    15 years later, this is the review that ended up convincing me to play what turned out to be one of my favorite games of all time.

  • @lumpyroc
    @lumpyroc 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love the music when you fight the bosses

  • @pcfaulkner
    @pcfaulkner 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    the game intro brings back a great memory

  • @AndyHollan
    @AndyHollan 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember playing this. The final boss (can't remember his name) was hard-as-hell to beat.
    Loved this game.

    • @MastaGambit
      @MastaGambit 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      AndyHollan Zeed was his name, and yeah he's pretty much impossible to predict lol
      You should play Shinobi 3. You fight Zeed again in that game and he's a much more thrilling boss fight while still being difficult yet not too cheap.

  • @rushdi34
    @rushdi34 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brings back some memories I remember you fought the terminator and batman on one level lol

  • @mopbrothers
    @mopbrothers 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love this game so much. The music, enemies, bosses, and gameplay is so badass! It's maybe a little too hard at some parts, but with practice and plenty of lives it's bearable.

  • @FermiToll
    @FermiToll 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Also consider the graphics, if I am not wrong Sega CD were already out, with much better graphics, however I remember for the era and the hardware the graphics were excellent, most people can’t notice today but compare the looks of this game with other videos with Genesis games; also fun and challenging, the music was cool. I agree with what this guy says the game was excellent.

  • @ericshane30
    @ericshane30 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow!!! Ninjas who blow up! Best of both worlds.

  • @MrPrincepop

    Can't wait for the 2nd part! Also please do a Shinobi III mega review in the future!

  • @RetroEjit
    @RetroEjit 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's such a shame that the Shinobi franchise died out as it is among one of the best classic gaming series along with Golden Axe and Streets of Rage, I dont get why all 3 of these series dont make a come back as there's obviously still a audience for these games among retro gaming fans. If only Sega would return to their heyday and release the 4th installment of each of these games and release them on XBLA and PSN.

    • @jayesper4390
      @jayesper4390 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Only Shinobi really did make a comeback with PS2 title and Kunoichi / Nightshade. I guess the developers of the others were let go alongside so many others after the Sammy merger.

  • @swordsman720
    @swordsman720 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I bought an import Japanese Sega Megadrive, and Super Shinobi came free with this wonder 16 bit console. China town is the best ost of this game.

  • @comyxcon4gaming860
    @comyxcon4gaming860 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Not only is this a great game, it also has one of the most memorable boss battle encounters; some of which consists of popular comic book superheroes and film villains. Sorry if I was a bit nerdy there, but hey.

  • @CapitaoEstrela
    @CapitaoEstrela 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for bringing back the time of Sega 16
    I loved this game also. When i bought Sega, this game was in the default games together with Sonic. Finishing took a bit of time. I remember clearly how the Sega would be burning to reach the end of the game. Has anyone ever noticed that Sega instructions said, to not keep it on more than 1h (i think it was 1h) but many of the games could take 6h or more to finish (no saving in that time of age) :)

  • @CornishCreamtea07

  • @DocSicnarf
    @DocSicnarf 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I got my Genesis it came with the 6-pack. This game was one of the 6. I fell in love with this game the moment I selected to play it.

  • @gertjanmeijerink1730

  • @marcelo06
    @marcelo06 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was about 10 when my dad bought this for me... I got this and golden axe 2 and they were my first games on the system.
    Wow memories going back all those years... to this day it was one of the only games I never finished... I remember getting past the dinosaur and then I got to the maze level but never managed to beat that.
    Luckily I just got the mega drive collection for my switch with all the shinobi and shadow dancer games so that's my Xmas holidays all sorted with what I'm going to do!

  • @panavision09

  • @Xonatron
    @Xonatron 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    wow the music and intro still capture me

  • @FunkMastaMegaFlex
    @FunkMastaMegaFlex 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Awesome game! I like the enemies/enviroments in this game. Ther Termimator dude who literally goes incredibly HULK lol, the ninja nun babes, fat biker dudes with flamethrowers, even our home boy Godzilla makes an appearence! Also why the hell did Spider Man show up in a ninja side scrolling game, I never quite got why he was a boss lol. Still one of the best games for the Genesis, Shinobi 3 for the Genesis is also a really great game that follows this one more closely than the other sequal did.

  • @Futuranama
    @Futuranama 15 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @Shadowking81
    @Shadowking81 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    In case any of you didn't know this already ,that's Sonny Chiba (Martial Artists and Actor) in the intro that is dressed up as Shinobi and is deflecting the Shurikens with his Katana blade. =)

    This must have been one of the last games I played before giving up Gaming in 1990ish (only to return to the fold in 2004!.........And, yeah, 2004 games (Like GTA 3 / Call of Duty 1 / Operation Flashpoint ) _blew my mind!_ :D)
    The SHINOBI music just *Reeks* of the 80s for me!

  • @waqarisfine

  • @maniackolder
    @maniackolder 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    i remember that this was one of the toughest games i have ever played. The fact it was a platform game (not my strongest game genre) made it so challenging for me. It was good at the time

  • @hurricane9851
    @hurricane9851 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    as i kid, i never ever made it past the waterfall level, this game was so fuckin hard, but i loved the gamepla so i woul always replay the first 2 levels even knowing i couldnt beat it

    • @SIR1U5
      @SIR1U5 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      thats a shame, you should persevere and maybe follow a walk through. I used to watch my elder brother play, he would always use the jump jutsu when on the last part of the waterfall stage where you had to land on vertical logs. I found doing it with the regular jump ability was easier and more predictable. My problem is i tend to run out of lives or shurikens after getting past the mid point. I tend to intentionally take forever in the factory level as the lives pickup that you can open at the start of the map which is next to the first conveyer but you have to fall to your death to pick it up but it gives you 3 lives each time so you increase your lives by 2 each time.. though its hard to tell how many you have since your counter cant go higher than 9

  • @loneshewolf74
    @loneshewolf74 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to love the music of this game. When my cousin loaned the game to my brother and me I wouldn't play it much (big surprise) but just sit and listen to the music on sound select. ^_^

  • @michb144
    @michb144 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    An absolute classic!As you said one of the best games ever made!

  • @videogameobsession
    @videogameobsession 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Also, Sega just recently released this on the PS3 (put together by the folks at M2) and its the ultimate emulated version to own. It has a great front end complete with music jukebox, movie recording, unlimited save states, both versions (USA) ROS & (JPN) The Super Shinobi w/ extended ending. The video options let you run it in 1080p without filtering so it won't look blurry.
    Trophy support is also fun.

  • @Mechanicoid
    @Mechanicoid 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow, An awesome review of the awesome Revenge of Shinobi, and a reference to 'Disco Godfather' in one video. You sir, are pretty amazing. PUT YOUR WEIGHT ON IT!

  • @TKRvids

  • @EnigmaHood
    @EnigmaHood 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Caluma122 That could very well be it. Considering ClassicGameRoom has grown and included a larger cast of peeps, it's reasonable to assume that. I don't mind the new people, I just want the old Mark back.

    I must have completed this game about 20 times when I had the megadrive version,probably my fav' megadrive game,I wish they included it on the 360s ultimate megadrive collection,but the inclusion of shinobi 3 & the arcade original kind of made up for it.
    A TRUE CLASSIC!!

  • @MrAzazel666
    @MrAzazel666 16 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @TheCodedtestament
    @TheCodedtestament 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    It may feel dated by today's standards to many, but it doesn't take away that it's still a very solid platformer. The game is challenging, and is further proof that games were harder then.

    OH man that would be so cool to have a Genesis with a digital output for the audio! Dam! You could get your Genesis with the S-Video and then put the digital out on it as well! That would be sooooo rad! The Genesis has awesome stereo sound its a dam shame it can not be shown off on youtube.

    2 Days ago, I beat Revenge of Shinobi on Normal Difficulty, without dying once!! Godzilla (Level 7 boss) hit me and I used the Mijin magic once (suicide ninjitsu at the cost of 1 life!). I even had 9 lives at the end and I got the 'Good' ending with the girl.

    There's a trick to have infinite shirukens... just go to the options and set it to 00 and wait... goes to infinity symbol after 5 seconds.
    I however loved playing with zero. Loved getting the power up and blocking everything with a sword. Made it soooo much fun!

    @xDCxLegends 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Shinobi 2 was an excellent game. Highly-addictive and hard as well. The perfect combo. I always use to get stuck on the level before the final boss where you're in a maze and you have to go through those rotating doors. I hated doing that. I also hated the highway level because it was either double-jump over the highway and fall or get run over by the cars lol

    @PeteC75 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the best game soundtracks of all time! Yuzo Koshiro was the rock star of the gaming world back then. I miss the days when video game music was like this. As for the game, it is the best Shinobi game AND best ninja game ever, hands down. As for Ninja Gaiden, all it was was hard. I defeated the original NES game with no cheating. It was the hardest game I have ever beaten. However, this game was a true next-gen experience from top to bottom at the time...more polished, more fun.

  • @glitchhunter09

    The main Character's name is Joe Musashi. Its a common mistake many people make when they call him Shinobi. Shinobi is his title as a ninja.
