Oh yeah and while you're at it go get Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, which just released here today. Hopefully the "volume 1" is an indication they have a 2nd volume in the works if this one sells well, so get on it! The book will be available to pre-order on Amazon (no link yet) sometime in December, with a $10 black and white version and a $25 full colour version, as well as a Kindle release for just $5. Loving the inclusion of Dynamite Dux, the Quartlet gang and even Teddy Boy there! Of particular note is the beautiful cover art by none over than Jonathan "Persona" Kim, who is most well known for working on the Scott Pilgrim game and Skullgirls, and has done plenty of Sega fan art over the years. As far as I can tell the book will also go into these games console ports and spin offs. Shinobi an "unquestionably a classic slice of ninja heaven" but noted it was "notoriously difficult".The English release of the History of Sonic book is due sometime in December, but at the same time we now have another Sega book to look forward to! Hardcore Gaming 101 has revealed Sega Arcade Classics Volume 1, which will contain articles about the best Sega franchises that started in the 80s, including Space Harrier, Alex Kidd, Shinobi, After Burner, Outrun, Wonder Boy and many more. Whilst exploring Neo City, the player will encounter further bosses, finishing with the final one. Almost all rooms have two exits which lead to further distinct trap rooms. Each room requires the skills of a particular ninja character in order to pass it. Each ninja character has a unique weapon, ninjutsu (typically consuming one ninjutsu spell) and ability.Īfter completing all four stages, the player automatically enters the fifth and final stage (Neo City), proceeding through a series of trap rooms.

The player starts the game as Joe Musashi (the red ninja), whose goal is to rescue four kidnapped allies who are being held captive in different stages. Shinobi are roughly based on the Genesis game The Revenge of Shinobi, but with the addition of a character-switching system. With their combined strength, they can destroy the City of Fear. As the oldest and strongest of his ninja disciples, Musashi must use his special skills in the art of ninjutsu to free his fellow shinobi. Now Joe Musashi the Red Shinobi, must carry out this dire mission. Ninja Valley has lost contact with each of them.

One by one his greatest pupils enter Neo City to locate and destroy the source of the evil. The Master knows that only a warrior trained in the arts of ninjutsu can stand against this menace. They return with news of a powerful dark force that has established a base within Neo City. The Master of the Oboro school of shinobi sends his best students to investigate the suburban areas. Terror and destruction have made their way to Ninja Valley.
