December 1989 (Issue 5) - Game of the Year (Forecasting the 1990 Award Winners) (tied with Super Mario Bros.Shinobi is a 3D action-adventure video game, developed by Overworks (AM7) and published by Sega as a part of Shinobi series.Instead of Spider-Man and Batman you fight a character that turns into a were-bat. Both Batman and Spider-Man were deleted from from versions of the cartridge released as the "classic edition" and on the version found with the SEGA CD. One of the other bosses is very reminiscent of the Hulk. In earlier versions the round 7's boss was no other than Godzilla, but it was eventually replaced by a skinless dinosaur. The Genesis version of The Revenge of Shinobi appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.Įarly versions of The Revenge of Shinobi had you fighting Batman as a boss, but because SEGA failed to get the licensing rights for the Caped Crusader, he was replaced by a winged demon in later versions of the game. The zone bosses varied with each release, as there were licensing issues preventing their free use - initially several well known cinematic characters were used: Godzilla, Batman, Terminator and Spiderman, but they were gradually replaced with other characters, sometimes varied only by simple palette changes. The environments are kept in similar style within a zone, starting out in a traditional rural town and forest area with ninjas and attack dogs, next into a modern city with an airport and factories, defended mainly by soldiers, moving onto a highway with almost frogger-style jumping to avoid cars, soldiers and jumping enemies disguised in nun-outfits (nun-jas?), next into an entertainment districts on rooftops and backstreets with ballet-dancing enemies, escaping on a train (riding on top of course, a shinobi won't buy tickets) to a harbour with more soldiers and cannon towers, and ultimately to the island where the final boss of the Neo Zeed bandit resides. Some types of enemies only appear in specific environments. Standard enemies vary from ordinary WW2 type soldiers, shooting rifles, machineguns and throwing stick grenades - to ninjas with shurikens throwing stars, katana swords and chigiriki-type flail weapons. ![]() There are eight zones to pass through on the map, each having three levels, with a boss at the last level of each zone. ![]() Extra knives and health are also sometimes in these boxes. ![]() Once you touch an upgrade, your knives turn into fire and you have a ninja sword. You can also find power pack upgrades by breaking boxes - though some are booby-trapped with bombs. What you have to do is go around killing enemies with "kunai", or throwing knives, and find the exits on each level. The story told is that the old enemies 'Zeed' from the first Shinobi game has reorganised, and they have now struck back at your clan, first by killing your old master, and then kidnapping your bride.
