THANK YOU to anyone who Likes, Subscribes Or Becomes a Member! A Good Stealth Game but not a great Tenchu Game. If they brought these new features AND KEPT the Hook shot and normal combat? Could have been something real special.
@@shatnermohanty6678 The Best Tenchu games! I just wish we got a Remake of “T: Time of the Assassins”. An Updated port of that Tenchu PSP game would’ve been so Good!
I love when you tackle retro games, and I'm glad to see you going back to Tenchu, which is one of the series you always talked about even in the earlier days in this channel! Even though this is a different game from the rest, the PSP version was decent because at least it excluded all those awful motion controls...
Hahaha so I have heard!! I still believe its a fun Game of its own, just mot the best Tenchu Game 🙂 Really enjoyed your last video btw. Nice to see you talk about something you have a history with.
Well, Tenchu: Shadow Assassins is actually called Tenchu 4 in Japan. Every other Tenchu game including Tenchu: Fatal Shadows, Tenchu: Time of the Assassins, Tenchu: Dark Secret, and Tenchu Z (called Tenchu Senran in Japan) are not mainline Tenchu entries.
Sad.😢 cause they very well could’ve been. Not to mention Rin and Tesshu were were great newcomers with their own Fighting Style and Stealth Kills! Love the X-Ray Stealth Kill scenes! For both Comical and downright Savage Moments!
If you liked the first Tenchu games created by Acquire and you wish to see what they did after then you might wanna try out Way of The Samurai 1 - 4 and Samurai Western.
I bought it Day 1!! I feel ur pain. I was so confused why core features were missing. All they had to do was bring the Tenchu we love, with better Graphics and Cool motion controls.... Such a shame because it still can be fun at times
I can now understand why they went this route, attempting something new, but it’s not really tenchu. It’s missing so many of the key gameplay mechanics that made the other games so fun. It’s still ok and at least it’s still tenchu but still sad it wasn’t a full tenchu experience
The changes were unnecessary sadly. I believe st the time and even to this day, Tenchu can be a successful series. Sticking to the formular but building on top of it 🙂
I had a lot of fun with this game. It was my first Tenchu game and once I got what it was trying to do I found it enjoyable. I wasn't burnt out on waggle yet.
I think those who never experienced a Tenchu Game before this one were able to enjoy it the most. The rest of us obviously were comparing it to the previous Games and we were unhappy. The game itself as a stand alone is fun
I really liked It too. I didn't play much of the others. But From what i Got. It seemed like they trying to change the formula to make It more refreshing and all but then they ended up changing It too much. Which made it loose the charm the other tenchu games had.
@Idklol-st5rd - Yeah they surprisingly removed very specific Tenchu features that are a must. Not having the Grappling hook and the ability to explore the stages like always, is literally like Nintendo deciding Mario doesn't need to jump any more, lolo Good stand alone Game but not a great Tenchu Game if that makes sense
Such a darn shame this was. I mean add new features! Cook but don't also at the same time remove core fundamental aspects of the Game, lol. Felt more like a duj mini game than a Tenchu Game
The storyline of the game was also really bad. It truly felt like every single character we know and love got flanderized with extremely poor writing. And it doesn't help the fact that it all ended on a dark cliffhanger with Kiku dying and Ayame being now posessed by Onikage. I can't believe they abandoned the franchise like this. This is why I said in my comment in the other video, that they should remake the three games and then make a true sequel that goes into a better direction and just pretend Shadow Assassins didn't exist.
I would love an official Tenchu 4 Game that ignores all the others after 3, lol. Although lots of fans recon there is certain awesome gameplay mechanics from Tenchu Z but that's the only Tenchu Game I have never played since it was a Xbox 360 exclusive. Story in T1, T2 & T3 were all pretty great in their own ways. 😁
@@GamingMyWholeLife I have Played Tenchu Z. The Controls take some practice, but once you figure it all out in Practice, it becomes second nature. The only Problem(s) I saw with Tenchu Z, was it’s Story and it’s Limited Customization options! I won’t spoil the Story, but it basically doesn’t go anywhere 😢. Now the Customization part is what really gets to me! Because even though Rikimaru is in the game and is your teacher, You play a Completely unique character (male or female) who’s capable of some really cool stealth maneuvers and kills depending on if your Sword is sheathed or unsheathed! But what Gets me is that There are No Other Stealth Weapons or Styles for you to toy With! You are Stuck with one Weapon and can play dress up with your character! And sadly, those options aren’t super great. I mean it would’ve been so cool to see different Stealth kills if you were able to hang people to death with a Sickle and Chain! There are Also NO Co-op Stealth Kills! The Closest you get is the Online Multiplayer Co-op Missions, which are Really Damn Cool!
I played this on PSP. I kinda liked it. But it got me confused. I played stage 1 more than 5x figuring things out. There's like 1 route of doing things only. Meh. The battle sequence just crushed my heart. I don't know where to place the story in the timeline but It's definitely after Wrath of Heaven. I don't know what happened to Izayoi. Or I don't remember anymore. Could this be a re-imagine? Feels like it.
I love the franchise....i never owned a wii...and to be honest i thought a game like tenchu on wii would have been far to violent for Nintendo, considering your professionally killing people.
The Wii actually had some really violent games surprisingly. To this day, there was a Godfather Game on Wii that felt amazing to control but Violent as F! Using motion controls, you smashed heads on counter tops, threw people out of windows, punched, head butted, did the chocking motion to literally choke people and set them on fire. I'm sure I did a video on it aaages ago

It's hard to imagine that kickboxing and ninjas no longer get good representation in video games... we should have had so much more by now

I mean the shinobido games are a no-brainer
I'm a huge Tenchu fan! I remember buying this for the Wii I was very disappointed especially the ending!😮💨
I bought it Day 1!!

@@GamingMyWholeLife I remember searching for the hidden sword pieces I liked that part of the game!
Def had enjoyable parts. Thats why I wanted to give ot credit as still a fun Game, but not a great tenchu game. 🙃😃

Good stand alone Game but not a great Tenchu Game if that makes sense
There was a portable version on the PSP that used normal controls instead of Wiinis Motion, but it's still that no roof nonsense.
Such a darn shame this was.
I mean add new features! Cook but don't also at the same time remove core fundamental aspects of the Game, lol.

Tenchu time of assasins on the psp is more like the older games

Glad your a fellow Tenchu Fan!! Can never have too many of us 😎
I like it on the wii because i love the wii. I also have this on psp
Glad you enjoyed it. Was it ur first Tenchu Game u played?
If it was released for the ps3 I'm pretty sure would have been a hit
Was not a console issue but several very questionable Game decisions
For me, the Wii game was a colossal disappointment
Could have easily been such an amazing entry
