[@robertbektas1810]

People always ask for remakes and sequels but do we need them? I’m perfectly fine as I am we don’t need any more Metroid or shinobi or megaman or altered beast or dynamite headdy. These games are products or their time and would feel out of place in anything other than their original hardware.

Brazencoronet17 The 3ds Metroid(I’m referring to 2D metroid) have some pretty bad graphics which could have been more appealing if they stuck to pixels. A megaman 11......was actually pretty good.

The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon HIGHLY AGREES. He was born in 1992 and played this classic the following year. So he totally understands.

[@patrickpinkerton318]

The way this one hit was just different. Slogging through the sewers to fight a super mutant, and then making your escape from a literal shithole across the bay to Neo Zeed's territory on a fucking jet board. Every next step is more frightening, more taxing than the previous. The Super Shinobi is a timeless work of art.

[@VallesView]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for looping the hell out of this. IMO the best track in the game. And there are SO MANY amazing tracks to choose from!

[@supercj12]

To think this game came out on Sega Genesis, a console made in 1988 no less.

[@whalahiguy]

supercj12 This particular game ‘The Super Shinobi II’ or Shinobi III in North America came out in ‘93. You can see it on the screen. The franchise started earlier yes, but this game and this soundtrack was not possible in ‘88. The hardware was there, but developers had not unlocked its full potential yet. Much like early NES games vs end of life NES games.

[@Prizrak-hv6qk]

@@whalahiguy It didn't take the Japanese devs much time to start pushing the Genesis audio hardware with games like Revenge of Shinobi, MUSHA, Batman, etc. The hardware was very similar to the arcade boards and the PC88 computers that they were used to.The biggest limitation back then was probably the ROM price, limiting most games to measly 4 Mbit.

[@DreadWing7777]

Even though it doesn't work, I still have my Sega Genesis System with this game. They also have this game on ''Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection Vol.1'' for Xbox 360 too.

[@GraveUypo]

@@whalahiguy you are quite wrong. in fact some of the best genesis sound tracks came early on, on the first year of the console. it was only when american devs after some quick buck got their paws on the console towards the end of the second year that we had a massive drop in average quality, only recovering years later

[@whalahiguy]

@@GraveUypo My point is pretty obvious when comparing this track to The Revenge of Shinobi OST (‘89).
