Ninja Game- Shinobi!

Shinobi is a top shelf game. It's in that upper echelon of games that is untouchable by anything. Like an expensive bottle of wine or a gourmet meal from a premier chef. It's a higher quality family of games and I fully recognize that. My favorite of the series has to be Revenge of the Shinobi for the Genesis/Mega Drive, but today I'm looking at this great commercial for the Master System version of the original game. The live action segments of the ninja flipping around and what appears to be the first stage boss makes me wish for a tokusatsu show based on the games.

Shadow Dancer, dancer for SEGA

I'm admittedly taking it a little easy after the seasonal change. But I can't relax when there's ninja business to be doing. Shadow Dancer is one of the more popular Shinobi games, and for good reason. Most Shinobi games are pretty dang good as is, but adding that pet dog to the mix made for a great game. SEGA games have a loose enough continuity as is and Shadow Dancer adds to it. Arcade wise, it's the second Shinobi game. Home console wise, the third. Look, confusing the enemy is part of ninja business.
