Shadow Dancer Longplay (Arcade) [60 FPS]

[@CSLucasEpic]

Ah, yes, the late 80s and very early 90s. The Ninja boom. For some reason everyone was obsessed with ninjas at that time. TV shows, movies, video games, a lot of Ninja themed media back then. And it disappeared as suddenly as it started.

[@ShinobiWan1]

Almost like a ninja vanish

[@cheesy713]

I'll tell you what: it needs a comeback. I just recently truly got into the Shinobi games and now, I want more ninja games and movies in my life, haha.

[@robertdemon3550]

It would have something to do with the movie American Ninja, my friend and me used to hire that all the time from the video store, it was an awesome movie for kids back then but don’t try watching it now it seems ridiculous.

[@Tenraiden]

It came back as Ask A Ninja 🥹

[@SD78]

Mid-80s, then were propped up by the Ninja Turtles until it faded from relevance. 70s - Kung Fu, Late 70s/Early 80s - Karate, Mid 80s - Ninjas

[@imranmahar2595]

Took over 27 years for me to see The End, back then usual ending was “insert coin”

[@Stanimir2909]

Took me 2 years and a Lot of money for breakfast in the school time to see the stupid ending... and the repeat ...

You too? I always thought it was strange how so many games had the exact same ending for me! It's a conspiracy, I tell ya.

[@guilitotorres9777]

That's a fact 😂😂. It's also my first time seeing the ending. It's crazy how back then most of us didn't have $5 to spend on one video game to try and finish it 😂

I really like that last boss design

[@hashimotokobayashi2244]

So you take a short beach brake just to put on your best ninja suit, call your dog and have him bite a bunch of guys while you throw shurikens at them...good childhood 😄

[@geegod9122]

Brilliant game play for its time tho

[@profoundgenius9726]

Don’t understand why this game gets so much hate. I preferred this version to the genesis/ mega drive version.

[@atanvardo5730]

I don't understand how many people prefer the original Shinobi game than Shadow Dancer. Shinobi is a very cool game and no doubt deserves its fame, but I prefer Shadow Dancer over Shinobi. The more common reason why many people dislike Shadow Dancer is the gameplay. You know, Shinobi has a "faster", more intense action (though not much more). Shadow Dancer, while it is still an action game, demands the player to be more tactical, so that the action is not so intense. But for me, this is just what makes Shadow Dancer a better game (in addition to its better graphics, animation, music and sound fx, as expected from a sequel). The Mega Drive / Genesis version is almost as great in my opinion. It is somewhere between Shinobi and Shadow Dancer arcade when it comes to tactics, so most people rank it higher.

[@mgm6229]

Good for you, but I too think the Mega Drive version is better overall, despite having smaller sprites.

[@detonator-x-3119]

I love this game. Never played arcade version only genesis. Wow genesis version is not even close to arcade . Arcade looks better.

[@jj007104]

One of the most creative games of its time....don't understand what purpose the dog serves though...wish they would remake these games

[@edu_moonwalker]

The dog's attack serves to paralyze some enemies that attack you from a distance, or even distract them, it's a matter of strategy on the map and the position of the enemies so that you can advance with safety.

[@edu_moonwalker]

But some enemies are "immune" to the dog's attack, mainly the most lethal ninjas and those who carry shields.

[@KennyFromHeaven]

Are you serious? You praise the creativity of the game yet you miss the most important game mechanic completely.

Yeah the Genesis version is a completely different game.

[@NotaPizzaGRL]

Wonder if the Genesis could've handled an exact port of this and E-Swat. It's a shame that only the Master System got a console port of this version of Shadow Dancer.

[@TheTrueBro]

REZ it would be similar to Altered Beast. AKA a very good rendition but still highly modified. Considering the Genesis version is longer, I can see why they opted for a totally different game.

[@NotaPizzaGRL]

@@TheTrueBro I see some of these new homebrew games and I think with the engine and tools available know along with enough cart memory maybe it could be done. If I knew how to code for the Genesis I would give it a shot.
