Once upon a time, one of the toughest games got its rightful sequel. It’s now.
Out of all the 3DS titles released this year, Shinobi is the most likely to become a hard-to-find cult classic. Even with all of its faults, hardcore fans will find more than enough content to feel fulfilled. The developers at Griptonite have reinvigorated a dormant series that has stayed true to its roots as an unforgiving, relentless, combat-based platformer.
The latest from Sega on 3DS is a revisitation of the classic Shinobi series, due for release September 2011.
Developed by Griptonite Games, the long anticipated title will arrive in stores this September.
Today, Sega officially announced Shinobi for the 3DS, in development at Griptonite Games. The game's existence was originally leaked in a resume posted on LinkedIn and again later on the cover of Nintendo Power. According to the press release, players will once again be able to experience the classic side-scrolling gameplay this September.
