Fun facs: The "spider-man" wall-crawling enemies used to have a blue and red color scheme similar to, but not identical to Spider-man's outfit. Sega had secured licensing to produce Spider-man games around the time Shinobi was being worked on so the developers took it as opportunity to use the character freely. In this scenario he appears as a "cameo" in Shinobi, but the sprite was later edited in subsequent re-releases of the game starting in the 2000's. They also had to remove the Marilyn Monroe posters at the beginning of mission 1-2 (replaced by Altered Beast images in this version), as the image they used of her was copyrighted and they did not receive permission to use the photo. You can only find them now in original arcade ROMS. In earlier re-releases they simply removed the posters entirely rather than replacing them as they did here.

Yeah, to me, they always looked like someone was wearing the Captain America costumes with Spider-Man's powers. Even Andy Warhol didn't have permission to use the Marilyn Monroe promo photo when he created his famous painting. At first, I thought Sega was teasing Altered Beast as part of the Sega Ages line, but it didn't happen. Generally, Japanese devs played fast and loose with copyright law, particularly in the Shinobi series.

When I was 15 I played Shinobi: The Return Of The Ninja Master on SEGA Genesis Model 2.. Those days were wonderful. I was coming home tired after the classes and turned my SEGA Genesis Model 2 with many emotions about Shinobi, Mortal Kombat 3, Star Gate, Street Fighter, WWF Super Wrestlemania, Minnesota Fats Pool Legend, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Demolition Man, Tale Spin, Pocahontas..❤❤❤

Hi! I also had the Sega Megadrive Model 3, although I never had Revenge of Shinobi. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, Pitfall... those games bring back so many memories. What a time to be alive!

Later on, the final boss gathered his troops & tell them about their incompetency 2 stop "Joe". Bo: "He's just 1 man. There r many of u. Why can't u stop & eliminate him?" Tr: "Boss, we only got manual guns, shurikens & swords. He got a machine gun with explosive bullets. Unlimited explosive bullets" 😊

Boss: That's no excuse, get out there and kill him! Troops: OK boss! [100s of dead troops later, including several bosses] Boss: Hmmmm, maybe my minions were right... Whoops! [Joe kills the final boss with his unlimited bullets as well]

It was him or me! But I got to the final sheet, maybe on the 4th or 5th time and finally cleared it first !!! It was sooo insane !!! The greatest moment of my life at the time !!! Good times ! : )

@@retrogamesreloaded they probably never had a licence (if one even needs a licence to depict her at all) SEGA was notorious for just ripping things off to use in their games. Sounds effects ripped from Rambo and Conan in Golden Axe, a screen grab of a movie used as the title screen for Thunderblade, Rambo, the Terminator, Spiderman, Batman, and Godzilla all in Revenge of Shinobi etc.

@homiedclown That's actually very true 🤣. From the five minutes of research I've just done (I'm very thorough), it looks like the Marilyn Monroe image is copyrighted. Even Andy Warhol didn't have permission to use the promotional photo for his painting. So, I'm guessing Sega decided to err on the side of caution. Although like I said for a time I thought it was just Sega teasing Altered Beast as part of the Sega Ages line 😅.
