Ninja Gaiden Shadow (aka Shadow Warriors) - 1991 - Game Boy | Ryu is back in town
1Ninja Gaiden Shadow, released in Japan as Ninja Ryūkenden GB: Matenrō Kessen (Japanese: 忍者龍剣伝GB 摩天楼決戦, literally "Legend of the Ninja Dragon Sword GB: Skyscraper Showdown"), in China as Ninja's Skyscraper Fight (DMG-126 CHN), and in Europe and Australia as Shadow Warriors, is a side-scrolling action game released for the Game Boy in 1991 by Tecmo. It is a prequel of the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy.
It is 1985, 3 years before the events of the NES game, and Jaquio has not yet been awakened. However, Emperor Garuda, an evil dictator, threatens New York city and it is up to the Ryu Hayabusa to fight him.
This game is an action side-scroller. Ryu can run, jump and beat his enemies using a sword. He also has a grappling-hook device, which can be used to reach higher platforms, which can then be hand-climbed across. By collecting power ups Ryu can use a magical technique called "the art of the fire wheel", an ascending and spinning wheel of fire which will take more damage than his usual sword. He has up to 5 charges of this technique. Ryu has a life meter with six units, which can be replenished by finding proper power ups inside containers.

GAME RECORDING INFO:
The game was integer scaled to 4k, without bi-linear filtering, and retaining the original aspect ratio. I also use a shader / filter that simulates the image of the original Gameboy Screen (More like the way we remembered, than, the way it really was). I also created a classic Gameboy image to use as a bezel above the game, to create a nostalgic atmosphere.
