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.

ive only played shinobi, revenge of shinobi, and the PS2 one... revenge is my fav of what ive played.

 Kaneda Aug 18, 2004
for the best : Shadow Dancer MD

and for the worst : Nightshade

Am I the only one who hated Shinobi, but loved Nightshade?

I thought they were equally average.

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!

 lordofduct Aug 18, 2004
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...

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?

You differentiated the two Shadow Dancer titles, but why didn't you do the same for the two Shinobi titles? :huh

 nevyn Aug 19, 2004
So which one is meant to be the arcade version of Shinobi?

This is one messed up poll. :lol:

I put them in order of release, so I figured people would figure that part out.

Nonsense. He's consistently inconsistent.
