[it290]

Wow, this is looking amazing so far. Apparently this project has been in the works for some time, but this is the first I've heard of it.

holy crap!

This looks amazing@!

Looks great. I've played through the Master System port but never any of the other iterations. As I recall, the difficulty wasn't too rough for the most part, but there was one unforgivingly precise jump and two tough bosses which resulted in the game feeling a bit uneven. Still, it was a damn good Master System game. Shinobi 3 remains one of my favorite video games of all time.

Yes I know the jump your talking about. It was always heartbreaking as a kid when I missed it.

I'm pretty sure there is a stage select code somewhere.

I kinda like the colors in the MD version better.

Yeah, it's an amazing piece of work, but it comes as no surprise to me; tryphon is a wizard and knows the ins and outs of the Mega Drive like few do.

Yeah, that jump on stage 4-1 was nasty; I had a lot of great runs that ended on that fucking pit. You can use the floating magic to get through it though.
Solid game and I'm glad that they didn't try to replicate the arcade game, instead making something that Master System could actually handle well.

I will support this is if a cartridge version comes out.

I'm a sucker for anything like this.

I've never actually the colors used in any of Sega's System 16B games. They all have these odd, pillowy, pastel looking colors. Smoothly shaded, but kinda ugly.
This release really has much more striking colors.

OMG That's rad af
So cool to see my bae MEGA-DURAIBU handling the game so well. I always believed!

[mycophobia]

just played this on my Genesis. its sick. I mean its obviously very incomplete (no bosses, no score, no POW, ends after 2-2) but it looks, feels and sounds very much like the arcade game, except the ninjas were a little off, like they were a little too fast. would be awesome to see a completed version someday.

[it290]

Yeah, I don't remember the ninjas respawning the same way they do here either — just needs to be cleaned up I imagine. Incredible work thus far.
