You just can't go wrong with Shinobi...

...most of the time.

This version does start off pretty well, but don't let that fool you. Underneath the seemingly problem-free display here, are in fact many problems.

Problems such as:
- Being open to enemy attack at all times, even between layer-jumping!
- No "mercy invincibility" at any point; take a hit, get ready to take another immediately if anything's nearby!
- Bullshit tiny boss weakness areas!
- INVINCIBLE BLACK TURTLE!

Maybe the last one isn't strictly true, but on the other versions I've played, Black Turtle has a weakspot that's easy to see, and easy to hit. Not so here. Also, it should explode after you kill so many of the enemy ninja. Nope.

So you just die. Over and over again.

Sad thing is, this version could have been so much better than the SMS version, if only a few of these problems were addressed.

Oh well, fuck it. It goes on the shitpile!
