Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
The Game Gear version of Shinobi remains one of my favourite games on the system. I still own the cartridge, and it's a great side-scrolling platformer for the time.
In terms of objective, players must rescue a group of fellow ninjas who have been brainwashed by the nefarious Neo Zeed. You'll need to defeat each ninja in turn to break the spell, then once the whole squad is assembled, you'll launch an assault on Neo City and deal with the criminal organisation once and for all.
Each of the ninja you rescue have their own distinct weapons, skills and magic power:
- Red: sword; earthquake magic that destroys enemies and scenery
- Pink: Bomb; walk on ceilings; magic that blinds enemies and illuminates dark places
- Yellow: power shot; water walking; magic shield
- Blue: grappling hook; swing on certain objects; magic which turns him into a mystic tornado
- Green: shuriken; double-jump with shuriken scatter; magic which causes player to explode and do heavy damage
I recorded a longplay back in 2014, but the video was in native 160 x 144 resolution (10:9). Since this is one of the games where the art teams took the screen stretch into consideration, this new video has been scaled to 4:3 aspect ratio to ensure the sprites are correctly proportioned.
