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.

[@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.

@@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.

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.

[@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.)

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]

Munk-a-Dunk me too

[@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.

I think it's impossible to do without the POW, it takes too many hits to kill him before it crushes her if you don't have it. Just do what he does in this video, the lightning shield and have the POW and it shouldn't be too hard.

[@streeTkiDwannaBe]

thesnare100 It's possible. Just tough. Involves being well at dodging his flying hair attack while getting the shurikens in the holes on either side to temporary halt the ceiling from descending. How I got the good ending on my last playthrough.

[@wisdommoalusi9023]

I remember playing this game back in my elementary school days when I was child. Before playing shinobi 3 I thought that this game was like in shinobi 3 but I was wrong in this joe doesn't jump kick or run like in shinobi 3 but the gameplay is still the same like throwing shuriken and using close melee sword slashing attack is still the same now I know the different between the sega shinobi games. Back in my day I wasn't able to complete the entire because the final level the labyrinth maze was so confusing I didn't know which was the right or wrong door I should go to thus I GIVE UP on completing this game and never got a chance to find and fought the final boss neo zeed aswell as not see the ending until now when I watched the video here on youtube. While growing up during 5th grape my brother got a sega smash pack that also had this game the revenge of shinobi it played like the megadrive counterpart but was missing few tracks from the original. But on the sega pack of this game shinobi I still couldn't beat game again because the last level was always confusing to know different between the right or wrong door thus throwing in the towel again like before. I also understand that this game has two ending both the good and bad ending which depend if joe can beat the final boss neo zeed to save his girlfriend before it's too late. I see during the fight against neo zeed is that if joe can beat the final boss neo zeed on time then he will save his girlfriend making it the good ending but if joe doesn't hurry up defeating neo zeed then he can watch his helpless girlfriend getting crush to death by the trash compactor making it the bad ending where the sadden joe thinks about her Wow. I can also see that this game has a lot of reference to other activities like the spiderman boss from marvel comics batman boss from d.c comic devilman from manga the flame thrower Sylvester stallone soldier from Rambo and the anrold Schwarzenegger terminator boss while in the wii virtual console spiderman is now pink because sega no longer has the license right to marvel the time they made a game called spiderman vs kingpin and I haven't forgot about the adventures of batman and robin game another game that's licensed by sega . So this game was very very memorable I made not be able to beat but at least I enjoy the game is what matters the most and I haven't forgot that I also enjoy the soundtrack composed by the street of rage composer yuzo koshiro my favorite soundtrack are make me dance, long distance, and like a wind. But like I said this game was very memorable so thank you for uploading this video Yeah to Yes.

[@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.
