I remember when my grandma surprised me and bought this game for me after seeing how much I loved it when I rented it! I still have the game as it holds a special place in my heart! I miss my grandma!
That's really cool that your grandmother did that. And,That you got to know her and she knew you as well as loved you too notice you loved that game. I never got to know my grandmother
My favorite sequence in the game! With enemy ninjas dropping from their giant kites, it was so exciting! I wish Sega would revive Shinobi Ninja Gaiden-style!
huge detailed sprites, smooth as butter animation, killer soundtrack,engaging gameplay--this game is still as fun to play today as it was during the days of the Genesis. A true video game masterpiece!!
37:51 My favorite videogame set piece ever: the high stakes, the lighting, the music change, the cherry blossom petals falling. An absolute masterpiece.
Wow! You're right! It's very pretty! I'm thinking about buying this game, but it's expensive. I found one with the case and game for $64. That's the lowest that I can find it at. I wanted "Castlevania: Bloodlines," but it's ridiculously expensive. Like $172! 😂
@@Sega_Dreams No, I never got it because I couldn't afford it. Instead, I downloaded the game on my SNES mini using the internet. Lol! It works great and the game is amazing! I've actually gotten in Halo recently and have been playing a ton of Halo 2. I had to borrow my brother's Xbox because I don't own one. All I own re retro stuff. How are you doing in this game?
This and Streets of Rage II, absolutely blew my MIND as a kid. The special moves, the music, the bosses, the beautiful stages, I just couldn't believe what I was playing. 1996-98 my brothers and my cousins used to trade video games with us, a wonderful time. Halcyon days.
I like Revenge of Shinobi much better. The 2nd game had smoother, less nausiating scrolling, better graphics, much better sound, more interesting levels, etc. This version was a step backward in my opinion, although some of the boss monsters were cool.
Revenge and this game are both damned fine pieces of software. Yuzo Koshiro didn't do this soundtrack, but the person that did doit, did an admirable job. The music seems to go with the levels smoothly.
The 16 bit consoles both had the ability to do parallex scrolling rffortlessly, so it should come as no surprise that you see it often in 16 bit games.
I don’t know if people know this, but this game has a story that could make for a great anime OVA. Here, I’ll explain: 1:16 This is the first level of the game. We start at the hidden village of the protagonist where he fights minions and goons. 4:23 The journey takes him into a hidden cave where he fights a giant mutated warrior. This begs the question: why is he mutated? 5:55 This riddle forces him to leave his hidden ninja village and outside its territory using one of his modes of transportation, his loyal steed. He fights other enemy ninjas along his way. 7:27 This takes him to his first encounter of one of the enemy’s many secret bases of operations, a hidden military facility that hides a lot of secret weapon experiments. 10:09 The boss of this hidden military facility is a weaponized brain. 11:05 This takes him deeper, where he discovers an entire underground facility where they use biological weapons to create genetically mutated monsters and weapons of mass destruction. 15:07 The boss of this facility, I believe, is a monster that was a result of remnants of biological weapon waste and failed mutated monster experiments. I actually felt sorry when I defeated this monster. He just wanted to protect his territory and be left alone. 15:56 This takes the hero to another facility overseas where he uses a really cool mode of transportation, a surfboard (this is one of the coolest levels I played in this game). This is one of the many enemy bases that creates high-tech weapons. 23:11 The protagonist himself sets the forest on fire to destroy this evil secret military base. He even delves inside to plant bombs everywhere. Where the first facility deals with creating mutated soldiers with inhuman experiments, this base deals with creating highly advanced mecha suits and weapons of mass destruction. 31:46 Of course, the place falls apart and this is the part where the hero escapes the falling debris while also fighting a tengu (obviously another genetically modified/mutated soldier). 35:45 This takes him to his enemy’s boss’s final and secret mansion where it’s rigged with traps. And I bet the kabuki soldier was the boss’s right-hand man. The boss himself has fled his base and into his secret battleship in the sky the size of a small city that is equipped with all the weapons he created to terrorize the world and rule it with tyranny. 39:08 Of course, our hero will follow the final boss to the ends of the earth to stop his evil master plan to take over the world. So he destroys the battleship from the outside and the inside. 47:23 We finally meet our final boss of the game. He is not even human. He is some form of a highly advanced super soldier resulting from his own highly advanced alien/mutated experiments to become the ultimate life form. 49:02 Our hero defeats the enemy, saves the world, and looks upon the horizon to the fallen battleship. He rides off into the sunset, back to his home and disappears. Unless evil should rise its ugly head again, he will remain hidden within the shadows, watching.
One of the best speed running 16-bit games and my personal favorite game from the era. The ability to double jump and spread the knives at a 90 degree, angle, the running katana slash with the invincibility frames, the air kick. It's amazing discovering where you can use certain mechanics to kickass better, like being to slash Godzillas face from standing on his hand, and the samurai from stage 1. I wish you didn't cheese the Shadow Master though...because that's an brilliant 16-bit boss fight.
The horse stage is my favorite ♥️ This is an excellent game. Graphics & music 👍 Controls are so easy and precise, it’ll be your fault if an enemy hits you.
I remember when my brother and I first got this game and we heard the music begin on stage 1. It was a wow moment for us. Sadly he is not here with us anymore. I miss him...
God, I forgot how precise you need to be in that final level. Plus, no human enemies. It's just you and the boss, and a labyrinth that ensures you've become shinobi enough to face him. I had so much trouble with this game when I was like 7, but I still love it to this day.
Anytime someone asks me "why Sega over Nintendo?" I just send them a link to this game and they're response is "Holy 💩!" This is Sega at its finest right here, Shinobi 3 has the best music, graphics, presentation, and gameplay ever
Yo, who's dropped by here, after the announcement from SEGA, yesterday!? Finally, some love for even this forgotten classic, after years of just Sonic and Yakuza!
The shinobi series holds a spot in my heart no matter what it was the first shinobi that got me to training in real ninjutsu then two made aware of the series world building then 3 came out and just crushed it on the whole setting in round 3 "body weapon" you clearly see that it's no longer the year 19XX but far or shortly into the future and zeed have been up to some very bad stuff, long live the ninja master!!!!
My love for this game began when I watched a friend 1 life this game, couldn't believe he was able to pull it off. Then again he had the game for a little while, enough time to master it. Years later I have my own boxed copy, have not played it in awhile, and never managed to beat it.
This video game had possibly the music on the Sega Mega Drive. All this music sounded fascinating to me, and it brings back a lot of memories when I was a kid.
Why do you keep to joe mushashi dancing nervously in so strange way sometimes in gameplay? I dont get it. By the way great game. I still have it from 1993!
discovered this game today on the genesis I bought, 2 years ago. (never had one before). dude this horse riding scene shocked me. it looks fuckin awesome and cinematic. the soundtrack, control scheme, level design and everything is awesome. would love to own the original cartridge but it's too expensive. Im playing with an everdrive for the mega drive.
This is a game i've loved as a kid and i love now, despite that it was released a long ago (the same year i was born). I never played a game better than this one. Even though i have several favorite games on pc, Shinobi III is still my ultimate favorite. Too bad i couldn't find other games from these series in my childhood..
Took me so long to find this. I played it at my cousins when I was 8. I tried Google every which way of explaining the first level. 29 now. Sheesh time flies.
Every level has variety , a challenge - wasn’t the same crap . It has uniqueness. This game holds a special part in my childhood . Beat this game so many times
The soundtrack for this game is a classic as well. Probably my favorite soundtrack from sega games. Oh, about the player: he is using cheats all right. He is invisible for the enemies.
Truly an excellent game, one of the Gen's absolute best. I liked to play using only melee, with no shurikens at all. You get bonus points at the end of the round for doing so. My favorite is definitively the 2nd level on horseback, with enemy ninjas floating down from giant kites.
On the "traps" level boss you can actually attack him while he's tranformed to the feathers too by striking in the middle wich will make him change form immediately. Also, you don't have to run: just stand in the corner, then when he comes near enough start jumpkickinging him 5-6 times in a row. Rinse and repeat after his come back from his feathered transformation.

for 1993 !
You could tell whoever was playing this no doubt has beaten this game countless times!
