Original MIDI sequenced by me!

Getting out of music block(?) with this one theme! Shinobi's soundtracks in general are great, and this one in particular was both challenging and fun to remake.

So. Got any general game recommendations?

Searching for new (or old ;) stuff and I trust your taste lol

Thanks for the ask! If it's general recommendations, I normally just look up whatever I'm liking at the moment (lol). There isn't really an order to this - just pick whatever sounds the best to you.

-Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land (PS2, DRPG: Recommended it before but seriously - it's an amazing DRPG with a ton of unique and fun mechanics to it. Skill upgrading/crafting, Party Affinity, Team attacks and so on. Plus the atmosphere and artstyle is top notch.)

-Dragon Quest I・II (SFC, JRPG: A remake of DQ1 and 2 all in one cartridge. Though I'd recommend III too, that one gets a lot better after playing the previous games - which are just as amazing in their own right. All versions work but SFC is the one I'd recommend to a newcomer.)

-Shinobi III (SG, Action/Platformer: Cheesy at times but a pretty fun platformer overall - also has one of the best soundtracks on Sega Genesis period. I'd also recommend the previous title - Revenge of Shinobi - which features Yuzo Koshiro as the main composer).

-Espgaluda (Arcade, Shoot'em Up/Bullet Hell: A pretty newcomer-friendly shmup. It features a unique fantasy-esque setting, a great soundtrack and a "bullet time"-like mechanic among many other gameplay things exclusive to it. It's also very gender.)

Shinobi III

The late '80s and early '90s fucking loved ninjas, so of course they were in a lot of media of the time. Videogames no exception, and to me the Shinobi series were always indicative of this trend; plus iconic in their own way.

The first game, an arcade title, was occasionally unfair and brutal but completely memorable. The second ('Revenge of' or 'The Super' Shinobi, depending on region) was an improvement in pretty much every way, offering both a meticulously-balanced action platformer that helped give the SEGA Megadrive a strong launch lineup; and an artistic commentary on East-versus-West attitudes and stereotypes.

Number three eschews the high art in favour of schlocky ninja action, and absolutely excels with it. This being the nineteen-nineties, the stoic and considered pace of the first two games is replaced with a dash-in-and-katana-them-in-half attitude, bolstered by surfing robots and a drop-kicking horse mount. I'm not kidding, such things made my teenage self exclaim "awesome!" thirty years ago, and my adult self hasn't changed their mind one iota since. That's why I play through every now and then, and why I played through it another time today.

Even today, the game's pace and fluidity makes it an absolute joy to blast through; seven levels, split into two discernible halves with a boss at the end; and just enjoy the hour-long ride whilst I'm there. Protagonist Joe Musashi (yeah, really) dashes, blocks, somersaults, divekicks and walljumps the environments with aplomb; although maybe not as stop-on-a-dime responsive as modern (circa 2023) platform action games, there's a nonetheless a feeling of weight to the proceedings that makes it satisfying to chain the moves together -- you aren't just playing as a ninja, you are the ninja.

To top this off, it looks and sounds amazing. It's a great experience all around, offering a perfectly-pitched challenge that may sap a few lives but never overly-frustrates; unless the difficulty is turned up. And even then, it's totally learnable and designed for it.

I feel like it's customary to say something negative about the game to 'balance' the positives? I didn't like waiting for some platform cycles on 7-2. There you go. Motherfucking game is almost perfect. 5/5

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (Sega Genesis)

Developed by Sega and released for the Sega Genesis in 1993, Shinobi sees Joe Musashi (or "Shinobi" as everyone calls him anyway) don the ninja mask once again to stop an evil crime syndicate called Neo Zeed.

When it comes to ninja games, I've always been more of a Ninja Gaiden kinda guy, but these Shinobi games are solid, quality games, especially this one. The graphics are excellent, with large detailed sprites, and the controls are tight. It's a pretty quick playthrough, but a fun one!

I... honestly don't have that much more to say about this one. Shinobi III - it's rad. Give it a go!
