This isnt a good game.There I said it.
>>11513874You're right. Shinobi III is though.
I used to sort of obsess over this game as a teen but coming back to it I didn't like it at all, the entire game feels like "learn by dying" sort of thing and the final boss is just awfulI genuinely had more fun with Shinobi X, even if they copied the pixel perfect jumps at the pier (but with no jump power up to help) and had the balls to do it twice in a row
>>11513874I beat it recently. I had fun with it. It's better than Shinobi III. Tighter designed, consistent, great music and stages. You have to be into 80s arcades to appreciate it.
The only bad thing about it is you need the jump power to beat certain stages.
>>11514026If you run, you don't need to use the boats as stepping stones.
>>11514343There are only two jumps in the game that are hard to make consistently enough without the superjump, and one of them won't kill you and it can be done easily if you pass the chance to earn an extra life. No, you don't need it at all for the 2-1 stage.
>>11514343I had just finished it, and you didn't need them since I saved the powerups for the bosses.On a related note, the bosses are so inconsistent. The first one was fucking hard, the next three you can safezone.
>>11513874You're right. It's a great game.
agreed, it's a great game actually
>>11513874Try III instead. Legions is good too
It's the best Shinobi game
Me? It's the Tengen Shinobi for the NES. And yes, it's the only one I've played.
OP is a massive faggot as usual
At one point I learned this game so good I could 1cc with 50 shuriken and good ending.But I did farm lives on the plane level just in case.
Pic related is the only Shinobi game I've ever played
>>11513874Revenge of Shinobi is one of those games I could really enjoy if it was just a liiiitle less dickish. Like, give me the ability to absorb one more hit, make the jumps one pixel shorter, made the ceiling drop a little slower in the final boss fight. Shave 10% off the difficulty and it's great. But it is what it is and what it is is unreasonable. I savescummed the ever-loving fuck out of it just so I could play it through and move on. I didn't beat the game. I admit it. I don't want to try. It's possible but not worth the time sink. They don't want you to git gud, they want perfection. Aint got time for that shitIII gets a little cheesy by the end but it's much more enjoyable overall
The first and second GG Shinobi games are extremely good.
>>11513874Could not agree more.
