For years I've been waiting for Sega to make a next gen game for the great Shinobi. Back in the day when I had my Sega Genesis I used to play the hell out of Shinobi 2 and 3. I played those games so much that I used to do speed runs just to see how fast I could beat them. They were awesome games for their time too. The stories weren't so great but the gameplay provided many hours of fun for me. Especially on the rainy days.
So as I said before I waited years for Shinobi to return. Back in 2002 they brought Shinobi back for the PS2. My brother bought the game but it wasn't very good. I didn't even bother playing it. It was far different from the Shinobi games that were on the Sega Genesis. I didn't like it at all. So I waited, and waited, and waited. Then in 2004 another old favorite, Ninja Gaiden, was resurrected for the original XBOX. The game was amazing. I figured if they could make Ninja Gaiden this good then I know Shinobi would be spectacular.
So I waited and waited then Ninja Gaiden 2 came ot for the XBOX 360 in 2008. I figured that Sega should've been making Shinobi and it would have a release right around the corner to stand toe to toe with Ninja Gaiden 2. Well that never happened. So I waited, and waited, and waited again and all I got was Shinobi released for the Nintendo 3DS. The Nintendo 3DS? Really?! They can't be serious. One of he greatest titles they ever had and they remake it for the 3DS. I don't even have a 3DS. I was so annoyed. What happened to Shinobi being released for the PS3 or XBOX 360? The world may never know.
The new Shinobi game is actually quite good especially for the 3DS. The only problem is that I don't have a 3DS to play it. Buying one just to play that game is not an option either. I can say that it is way better than the Shinobi release for the PS2 several years ago.
