Whats the best version do we think, i cant remember much about the PC Engine version but for sure the Master System version is a classic of that machine.

The PCE version was woeful compared to the arcade!
* No power ups!
* No close up attack!
* Level 2 is missing!
* No Bonus rounds!
The master system version is ok considering the limitations of the console, but hardly great either. I loved it at the time! -
I haven't played the PCE version but I'll say Master System anyway because its a Sega console.Comment

all this shinobi hate
i bought my way into PCE because of this game (and Splatterhouse)
even though some stuff is missing its still a class game
but i've never played the master system version, so i cant compare themComment

Oh mate, you need to sample the MS version. It's fantastic. I noticed in Burton-on-trent Gamestation a few weeks back they had a Mk1 MS with Shinobi for ?15. I was *this far* from buying it, but I've already owned several Masters Systems over the years.Originally posted by buster_broon View Post all this shinobi hate

Shinobi on the MS really shows what the machine is capable of. And the music!
Not played the PCE version but by all accounts it's not bad, Asmik did the conversion I believe. The lack of bonus rounds would kill it for me, though.Comment

PC version is class , and eats the Master system version alive when it comes to graphics (it more or less the Arcade)) . But in gameplay terms the Master System version is the best imo , just a shame the Scrolling can be bit on the jerky sideComment

Spot on TA. Shinobi on pce is gorgeous. Its almost a shame that R-Type is the game most people hold out as the game that showed how arcade accurate the pce could be.
Revenge of Shinobi FTW of course. Shinobi is unplayable, unwieldy, cheap, soulless gack in comparison.Comment

From the technical viewpoint, PCE Shinobi is far superior to the MS version.
But, the absence of the bonus round from PCE Shinobi (and all the other features as mentioned by AllYourBase) is unforgiveable, so MS Shinobi edges it for me personally.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 07-06-2007, 17:46.Comment

I've not played the MS one but i do really like the PCE one as a stand alone game, its good fun with nice graphics and sound for the time.Comment

Never played either but compared to (the utter brilliance) of Super Shinobi on the MD is there any point?!Comment

Super Shinobi - utter brilliance? I wouldn't go that far.Originally posted by Max P. View Post
Shadow Dancer and even GG Shinobi were better games, for a start...Comment

Ho, hum, we'll have to beg to differ!
Played a GG once, that was enough...Comment
