What was the best Shinobi game?

		I've played all those except Shinobi Legions. Shadow Dancer for MD/Genny is by far the best one.

		I voted for revenge. I thought the most recent two outings were sub-par. Although I've heard they plan to return a bit more to Shinobi's roots if they make another one?

		I voted for the original Shinobi, but that refers to the arcade version, not that damnable SMS version. I just feel that the original has the tightest control and best challenge level. I enjoy Revenge / Shinobi III (and in fact Shinobi III would probably be my second choice), but I do feel the health bar thing detracted from the game. It makes you feel like more of a ninja when you have to get past some of the trickier levels without taking a hit. I used to play Shinobi every single day in the arcades, and it definitely inpsired some heated high-score competitions!

		Who the hell edited my poll?! You completely screwed it up! It was fine the way it was!

		well it is more concise...

		Cloud121	Aug 18, 2004
		NO! It goes like this: Shinobi Revenge of Shinobi Shadow Dancer (Arcade) Shadow Dancer (MD/Genny) Shinobi IV (aka "Shinobi III") Shinobi Legions Shinobi Nightshade No need for the SMS/NES option, as IT'S THE SAME GAME AS THE ARCADE VERSION! God, I hate it when people mess with my polls...

		it290	Aug 19, 2004
		I would hardly call the SMS version the same as the arcade, much less the abysmal NES version. That's like saying that 2600 Pac-Man is the same as the arcade. Also, what's up with the "Shinobi IV aka 'Shinobi III'" option? The game is has never been known as Shinobi IV to my knowledge.

		You mean you haven't guessed who edited the poll?

God, I hate it when people mess with my polls... You differentiated the two Shadow Dancer titles, but why didn't you do the same for the two Shinobi titles? :huh

		So which one is meant to be the arcade version of Shinobi? This is one messed up poll. :lol:
