Such a brilliant game with great sound effects, and music especially the low fi drums. Yuzo Koshiro is a legend

The Chuck Norris of Video-Games? : )

[@amcmr2003]

btw, that guy on the ChinaTown Stage looks a lot like Bruce Lee. xD and before revealing himself as the Terminator, it becomes the Hulk. They certainly did that on purpose as the guy reminds a lot of Schwarzenegger. So we can count Arnold in as well. : )

[@NintendoPsycho]

A mini Godzilla and Devilman depending on the version.

[@rhurst1945]

Still my favorite Genesis game of all time. As a 12-year old, I was literally shaking after finally beating the whole game.

[@vincent5525]

30 years later, and I still love the intro.

[@Kawasakininja650]

TRULY sick game!! One of the best IMO. It had an unbeaten atmosphere. Even by today's standards. Amazing music. And was extremely hard to complete. An absolute credit to the Sega game developers. I've yet to see a game with such edge and passion as this gem.

[@Sinasi08]

How much I loved this game!!! 90s were awesome for me!! First CD player, first BMX bike, first 16bit console and on top of that no worries nor stress at all!! Wanna go back!

[@alancats]

I love the intro scene after the Sega logo, where Joe Musashi deflects the shurikens with his katana. This game is awesome, one of the best on the Genesis and one of the best of the 16-bit era!

[@retrosoul8770]

Underappreciated classic. One of the best side-scrollers from the 16-bit era, and Shinobi friggin 3 and even better! (In some respects). Damn, Sega was on fire here. The military base is one of the best designed levels in a 2D game that I've seen, double jumping over the fence again and again with the kunai attack is a blast.

[@londonsounds6212]

Which one is the military base bro?

[@retrosoul8770]

@@londonsounds6212 the level with the giant fence you can double jump over, to be behind or in front of it. You can double jump and do the kunai knife attack and take everyone out on the other side of the fence with the special attack. It's a blast.

@@retrosoul8770 got you bro great level!! That's what you had to do in the original shinobi arcade game! Every level was like that

[@londonsounds6212]

@@retrolinkx it's a hard game in general

[@retrosoul8770]

@@retrolinkx yeah it's a really tough game for new players. You'll get better at it though, takes practice. I took me a few playthroughs to really enjoy/appreciate the games design, the final maze level they took things too far though, you basically need a guide until you memorize it. Imo the only real flaw of the game (and yeah maybe also that 7-1 jump lol) but it really is overall a classic sidescroller despite its imperfections.

[@Craigevansagain]

That music at the end is a great song to end a great game.

[@kolisionn]

i forgot how extremely frustrating this game could get. playing it again after so many years and i was already experiencing trouble on the second stage, on EASY MODE! it's a classic but damn it's so fucking difficult

[@tobysmith8697]

kolisionn i got stuck on the level after the plane level when i was 12 i agree its a hard game..most games on sega was hard ..

[@retrosoul8770]

Take your time don't give up, set it to 90 kunai (shurikens), practice/master the double jump and during your double jump, attack to do the rainbow knife throw and you'll be fine. Do it often.

[@user-bm5gb5lt9j]

kolisionn as a kid I only could not beat that old fart boss

[@Jason-hk6fx]

i played it when i was 5/6, i didn't remember that it is so hard, maybe back in 90s difficult games were the standard and the normal thing

[@swy334]

kolisionn git gud

[@lookmeandnotouchme]

I already remember almost every hidden box, 25 years later. So good old times

[@Cupcom5]

I still remember the infinite 1ups cheat on the 2 area of the junkyard, it gives you 2 lives at once so you can just fall in the hole to get more. Comes in handy for that jump on the bay stage if you don't have a ninjutsu

[@munk-a-dunk5188]

30:01 Am I the only idiot who get stuck in that fucking jump a hundred of times? xD

[@Celestial07]

+Munk-a-Dunk Hey, that jump is a bit tricky. In most cases, I do it from my first try and without using the High Jump. It was only when I first discovered this game that I had trouble on some of the stages, but other than that, I can't say RoS is a very hard game. It's hard, but it ain't that hard. Ninja Gaiden is more unfair, but in reality, RoS is a bit tougher (although not as Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos).

[@munk-a-dunk5188]

+Stephen P When I was a kid I wasn't able to pass that jump,it was very frustrating in those years.Recently I finish the game for the first time and is not too hard (you're right),maybe the final boss is challenging without power shurikens.For me it's just a matter of trial and error with the location of enemies and traps.

[@-A98]

[@Gigathon7]

I first played this when I was 7, it took about 4 years and I finally got to the last level but could never beat it. Fast forward 11 years and I got the chance to play it and at last finish it. If there ever was an underrated classic, this is it.

[@spikeriley]

One earlier version also had Batman as a boss.

[@gunswordfist]

Spike Riley I need to youtube that. Which boss replaced Batman?

[@spikeriley]

gunswordfist The shape shifter's second form, the devil-like monster, was the one that replaced Batman.

[@gunswordfist]

Spike Riley I heard him called Batman/Devilman so I think they made him look like the Devilman character in an update.

[@spikeriley]

gunswordfist Agreed. In the Wii Virtual Console port, they replaced Spider-Man with a pink clone since the rights expired (Spidey was used since Sega back then had a deal with Marvel to make a Spider-Mna video game.)

[@greatorder]

Ah, I remember games like this. Especially the random unapologetic transitions. You're in feudal Japan one moment, next you're in the middle of a modern day city.

I was in boissy saint léger in my gran pa appartement with my cousin. He had a megadrive. He heard about that game and we decided to take the bus to Créteil Soleil where we bought the game. Very expensive for us. We get back admiring the box until home. Once put in, we loved that game until the very end... no, we never saw it. We lost in the middle of the game :) but what a game. We could not beat it but we were sarisfied. So... great souvenirs. Very great. Game and family. (We had a snes, md and gb).

[@federalbureau]

Do I have the right to say this is one of the 10"s best mega drive? Thank you very much. I was used to finishing this game perfetly, no wasted live, flawless rescue. than ya!

[@tightlypackedcoil]

Something about these first party launch titles always stood out for me, as many of them (Revenge of Shinobi in particular) seemed to be superior to many other titles for years to come. The music and sound effects in this game are very clear, and avoid the "twanginess" that Genesis music came to be known for. Even the graphics are excellent for a 16-bit title, with what at the time appeared to be an almost "realistic" quality to them.

[@majimamike5313]

Such an awesome shinobi title.This and 3 were the best.

[@raycracauer8452]

Great game. Still towards the top of my favorites list. Used to purposely take extra time beating the final boss just to get other ending.

[@monap8552]

Memories of the 6-pak cartidge. You really get a good deal with 6 full games in one. After coming across the JP/EU version, I like it more because it's the way it was originally supposed to be. Only thing I do like in the US version is the Batman swapped to Devilman. lol

[@RichardCraig]

OK, I don't know if I'll actually sit here and watch the whole thing, but just the fact that these are here... it's weird, but sometimes I like to just kick back and watch someone else play, like back in the day when you passed between you and your friends to play the one-player games. Big thanks for putting these up!

[@Celestial07]

The first time I did a no death run (unexpectedly while playing and saving the girl for only the 2nd time!) on this game, on Normal difficulty, I was stoned out of my skull! I was smoking weed and drinking beer and I did the impossible! Then I got high on the next morning for the Hard mode and I was shocked, couldn't believe.. what I had done!
