I've been working out a minutious operation that I will exihibe to you now.
I baptized this operation:
the operation...
Ninja !
Spiderman. Today we're meeting with the famous licence: Spiderman, you can see that on the screen ! I'm not lying to you !
Ah, it came out but you've seen that: Spiderman 1990, I didn't invent that.
No, of course this isn't Spiderman... I should stop trying to have a british accent, it doesn't fits me.
Spiderman, it isn't Spiderman I'll have to explain, to return on this so you'll remind me.
Why was "Spiderman" written before the title screen of Revenge of Shinobi appears ?
Really strange, it's a pretty interesting anecdote.
So hi everybody it's Hooper and you've seen it: we meet with a legend of the Megadrive "The Revenge of Shinobi".
Probably the biggest saga based on ninjas we've ever seen until now
even if I'm not well acknowledged about samuraïs and ninjas in what's released today.
I know that the "Ninja Gaiden" series aren't bad and things like that. But if something rocked back then, it was the "Shinobi" series.
So this game is, in fact, the first Shinobi of the Megadrive,
of the famous trilogy I've already talked about a few time ago in my review of Shinobi 3
which is for many people the best episode, for me as well. Not for everyone ! Not for everyone !
For the irreductible old Gallics, for the old warriors at the bottom of their boots,
they will tell you that they prefer this episode "The Revenge of Shinobi" which has a difficulty that's really...
I'll tell you my feeling about it in Live: I won't say this game aged in a bad way...well maybe a little for my taste,
but mostly it's really old school in its progress: it looks like a 8-bit game !
Which means...how to explain that... its difficulty,
its really stiff maniability that will ask us to memorize the game and where all the enemies are if we want to play honorably
doing very hard jumps at the end of the game, that's a little *** up
and of course, when you fall in a pit, you die directly and you have a small lifebar,
I don't like that because it's a too much abusive difficulty for me.
This isn't specific to this game: even on the 8-bits, I was already criticizing the difficulty of some games,
but at the same time it's a weakness but it's also a force
because if you finish a game like Revenge of Shinobi, which is a game I finished back then and I'm proud of it, well you're happy !
You tell yourself "Oh *** yeah that's it ! Oh *** yeah I've finally beaten The Revenge of Shinobi !
On Normal mode ! Without cheating ! Without cheat codes ! I've beaten that game ! After spending weeks on it !"
You're necessarily very happy. This is something that happens no more today: today when we buy a game we always know we're going to beat it !
You'll always know it ! There won't be any difficulty !
And if you're blocked: cheat code, a research for the solution on internet...there weren't such things back then.
That's why you were very happy when a game was difficult like The Revenge of Shinobi can be
you were really proud, that's the correct word: proud ! You were proud to finish a game like this ! It isn't the case anymore and that's a pity.
Anyway, I'm going to pass that and start directly. See? "Spiderman" in the middle. I'll tell you about that later.
This game was released in 1989 in Japan and was one of the launching games of Sega's 16-bits in Europe.
Let's see what's in the options...ah, there was a well known cheat code that replaced the zeros with an infinity sign for the shurikens.
But by the way it's a mistake, those aren't really shurikens...see? You mustn't touch anything because I didn't touch anything and it's got enabled !
So, those aren't really shurikens, those rather are daggers. Can I change it? OH *** I CAN'T CHANGE IT ANYMORE ! I didn't want to play with...
Ohhh! So if I leave, will I be able to come back? I didn't want to play with infinite shurikens !
I want to play it...oh *** I can't change it. NO ! I can't change it ? That's incredible I can't change it.
Unbelievable I can't change it...well, no matter... You can be sure I didn't want to play with infinite shurikens but no matter...
Anyway at least I let the difficulty set on Normal.
I changed my mind. I don't want to play with infinite shurikens, infinite daggers: I want to play with the rules.
I finished this game in Normal mode with 50 shurikens back then, I want to do the same now.
Even if it would surprise me to get at the end of the game honestly, I would need a big practice.
Look, of course there's multiple difficulty levels; on Hard and Hardest you have only 1 life + 1 life per continue
I may as well say you must be the king of the world, on Normal it's a little better: 3 lives + 3 lives per continue
and we have 3 continues which makes a total of 12 lives, on Easy you have 10 lives per continue + 10 lives at the start
err...I'll let the difficulty on Normal... which gives you 40 lives.
Let's say the game is beatable on Easy, it's ok. But on Normal really...I'm really proud of finishing this game back then.
I still should practice a little before but no matter, I'll try it that way.
Still, I've done the first and second stages before doing the video because it would've been pathetic if I didn't.
Look, there's something that always made me laugh: it's the AI, the enemies' AI.
They copy your moves ! That's pretty funny. Some may think it's dumb, but it's not ! IT'S NOT my friends!
They're still pretty strong, even if it's pretty basic, but they're still rather strong.
What's irritating is that when they hit you, you have a backlash
and since we'll be often and mostly at the end in places where there's a lot of pits,
Obviously, you get hit, you have a backlash, you fall in the pit, you lose a life: that's the main way to die in this game,
that's the most common way to die and it's absolutely awful, absolutely horrible !
This one is pretty annoying as well, look...look at his sabre ! The way he moves it depends on if you're standing up or crouching.
That *** ! He's a cunning one ! Aaah, you gotta be rough on him ! Or there's another trick in which you must go behind him.
*** I completely missed on that double jump... There, this way and when you're behind him you do a sweep to him.
And THIS is BEAUTIFUL ! Because like in Shinobi 3 when you are in a hand-to-hand fight... but first I'll explain you the commands
of course the gameplay is a lot lighter than in Shinobi 3 which is normal: Shinobi 3 = '93, Revenge of Shinobi = '89, 4 years separates those two games.
In a nutshell you only have access to the daggers, you can crouch and walk, of course you can jump, double jump and you can throw a flight of shurikens
and I shouldn't have done that, I did garbage because I have only 17 shurikens left to finish the level, I did garbage, I shouldn't have shown that...
and you still have the summons, I won't repeat myself because those are the same as Shinobi 3, so I send you back to my review of Shinobi 3,
the shield, the fire columns, the thing that makes you jump higher that I will show you soon,
and the sacrifice of the Hara Kiri, I HARA KIRI MYSELF ! Anyway, the Hara Kiri for those who didn't understand well,
which means the suicide, the kamikaze to blow up everything on the screen but you lose a life at the same time.
I'll try to play correctly, but I dont promise an- Ahh yes! So the "Pow", that's something really important so wait...
I must tell you about the "Pow": like in Shinobi, your shurikens become ardent, they also go faster.
These do a lot more damage to the enemies, that's classical. But there's mostly 2 other particularities:
the first one, when we have the Power-Up, look: he does a cross while walking, he puts his 2 daggers in a cross shape while walking
it allows him to guard himself from some projectiles such as shurikens, bullets and others.
That's very important because unlike the others "Shinobi"s, you can't guard at all, and when you have the Power Up, when you walk, you're guarding.
That's a very important particularity of the gameplay.
The other particularity is that when you have the Power Up in a hand-to-hand fight, you can use your katana.
You can use your Katana
You'll see that if I find an enemy who's on the bottom...oh,there...oh well I'll try to go up...you'll see...
There, I blocked, I blocked, I blocked, here I'm almost invincible, and look: when I'm close to an enemy
He'll do it automatically, but you still have to push the button, he'll strike him with his katana,
Whereas if I didn't have the Power-Up I would only do a *** dagger strike with a really short reach.
I'm telling you about it, it may look not interesting but it's very important, in essence...
yeah, it's the essence of Revenge of Shinobi's gameplay what I just told you.
It's very very-oh *** watch out for the bomb...it's very very important. Always those bombs which are in boxes
watch out for them, there's a lot of them in this game. Look at this: When you have the Power Up, you're almost in a...
not in a "God Mode" but it's-***, another bomb... but it's another way to see the gameplay you're way more powerful.
And of course when you get hit, you lose your Power Up like in Shinobi 3, you really gotta be careful.
Well, I'll try to go...you don't have...I meant I'll try to go fast...you don't have to kill everyone
Did you see that ? There was 2 enemies and just by striking them with the katana they've got directly killed.
So you don't have to kill every enemy. Look at this: it's really easier with the Power-Up, so that's very important.
That *** doesn't stop jumping...there ! So I really had to tell you about this.
As for the rest you already know it. Of course the maniability is heavier than Shinobi 3's but once again
this game was released in 1989 it was one of the Megadrive's first game, you mustn't forget that.
Technically it's ok, frankly...look, I've managed to block his shuriken once more by guarding.
However this is pretty tough, you must calculate your try well and manage to land in front of him.
I don't think I can get him...yeah, he crouches each time... OH I JUST GOT HIM ! I don't know how I got him at all...
oh, but I know: I've thrown a shuriken and then I stood up, and since the AI copies our moves he stood up as well, you see the thing?
Err...do I go up ? Yeah, I'll go up, I'll try the double jump. So the double jump is harder to do than in Shinobi 3:
you really have to be...you have less than one second to do it and that's really annoying because once again
in the last levels you have all a serie of... oh *** I didn't saw that ***...all a plateform phase to do-***...
you fall, you lose a life. that's why this game is really hard. Watch out here...alright !
I'm playing rather goodly so I'll try keeping going, I'm rather proud of how I'm playing. My goal to get you at least to the Terminator boss.
My goal is to go fight Terminator
You must know that there's...that's what-that's what-I don't manage to speak anymore. That's what I was telling you at the beginning:
there's a pretty interesting anecdote about some bosses of this game who have been taken back.
So you'll never guess, you'll see you'll be surprised if you never played that game: in the game you'll be able to see
Schwarzenegger as Terminator at the end of the fight
you'll also see Spiderman that's why you've seen his name before theTitle Screen
But also, Batman, Rambo, Godzilla and Hulk!
I think I'll have enough time to show you Schwarzenegger, the Terminator and Hulk, if I play well enough, and also Rambo.
You'll see that, in fact, there were 3 versions of this game, and only a few people knows that.
Errr...will they come ? Those enemies are starting to *** me off. They aren't here anymore, they went away, I'll try to be careful...
They really disappeared, that's some kind of glitch. Totally dumb, they were on the right and then they disappeared but no matter...
I'm playing well so I'll try not to be dumb. So I was saying there were 3 versions of this game made...
3 versions of this game were made: the first one where we see all the bosses, Batman and co.
but Sega didn't have the rights or the licences, in any case there was a problem of this type...
err...wait, I don't even know where I'm going...it really is this way... so Sega has been sued by Marvel or I don't know who,
by the one who had the rights of Batman, Spiderman and all that
so they made another version of the game but of course the game was already released,
but then they made another version where they replaced Batman's skin by some skin... a monster that didn't look like Batman anymore, but Spiderman stayed in it
It was a kind of freak which didn't look like Batman at all But Spiderman was still there
that's why you can see at the start in the Title Screen-gosh he's a tough one- in the Title Screen you see...I'm doing garbage...
there, it's done... I got him pretty easily there because I had the Power-Up,
Without it, it would take10 hits to get him, and you've seen his weak point was his head.
I wanted to make you listen to the music by Yuzo Koshiro because the boss theme is awesome, but It'll be for the next boss.
What was I talking about ? Yeah, so there were 3 differents versions of this game, I'd like to finish my sentence but this game is so hard it's tough.
So in a nutshell, a first version with all the bosses I told you, a second one where they replaced Batman and in the end we see Godzilla...
and for that they mustn't have had the rights once more because they made a third version without Godzilla and it's the same for Rambo:
They replaced Rambo's skin by another skin, I'll show you that if I manage to, but no for Schwarzenegger it's ok, for the Termina...***, what a ***...
what a ***, I fell in a pit I didn't remember. See? When I speak, when I try to speak well I don't pay attention on what I'm doing anymore and I screw up
so I'd rather like to stop talking...I almost fell once again...see? When you get hit by an enemy you have a backlash
which can make you fall in a pit really easily. So it was here...OH *** ! I was really lucky this time ! Did you see that ?
I was really lucky. See? I got hit there. This's something that pisses me off in this kind of games,
generally in this kind of games the developers have 2 tricks: either when you get hit you blink and you're invincible...
I'd rather like to use the summon that allows to jump higher... either the developers does it so you...listen to that noise.
Some kind of noise with...it has always made me laugh because I don't really understand what's it doing here. It's a noise...
OH ***, THE BOMB ! Got lucky... It's the noise of an air bubble in the water, that's a pretty weird thing.
Here again I'm stuck, I think I have to go to the right, I don't know I don't remember...yeah that's it.
Still watch out for the bomb. I don't remember what I was talking about at all. It pisses me off, I don't remember what I was talking about.
I think I'm not even done talking about...aaahh he shouldn't have hit me there ! Unbelievable
THAT'S NOT TRUE ! That's it, I'm playing like a newbie ! GREAT ! One more hit ! That's not possible...
I'll try to be careful...NICE ! Again ! Now that's perfect ! OK ! one more hit !
Come on ! One more, one more ! Please hit me ! Hit me please ! Seriously ! I just got *** up. I got hit 10 times in 30 seconds.
That's a pretty delicate part without the summon even if it's possible: we can pass this without the upgraded jumps but it's a lot harder.
Is it the boss now ? No, I think there's one more passage before. Look at the right, there's a pretty funny thing.
Hup ! I never understood why the developers have done that, I think it's to tell you there's a pit here. The religious girl who falls voluntarily in the pit.
In fact it's an enemy: when we get close to her she'll turn into a Wonder Woman, no I can tell you it's not *** I really said Wonder Woman, yes.
I don't know what the developers were smoking when they did this game with Terminator
Schwarzenegger...Godzilla still is understandable
that's typically japanese. I've managed to avoid the bomb. It's mostly Spiderman and Batman who are unbelievable because frankly,
who could expect to see both of 'em in this, that's real nonsense because you play as Joe Musashi who's a good guy
and you're killing Spiderman and Batman who are in fact Super Heroes so that really is nonsense !
I don't know what was up with the developers, what substance they've taken but that's slightly strange.
I was talking about something before but I stopped in my moose and now I forget. Err...It wasn't the 3 versions...
OH *** watch out no it's ok...it wasn't the 3 versions it was something else. Errr...I don't remember
no matter, I'll comment what we're seeing on the screen. Ah I arrived at the boss so listen to the music.
THAT'S NOT TRUE ! That won't happen again !
That's not possible...
Ah, that's not true. It's ok he's almost dead now. In a really psychedelic set !
*** ! I'll finish him. I'll finish him with a summon, no I can't use the summon:
you can use the summon only once in a level and I already used it.
Gosh I have only 19 shurikens left-OH *** it's gonna be tough ! It's gonna be tough !
OH *** I'M DEAD ! THAT'S NOT TRUE ! What a drag ! Ooohhh...
How many lives left? No it'll be fine, I'll use the protection, the shield. It'll absorb damages.
Yet he isn't tough, but there...I don't really remember how...you must do it this way, right?
Alright, I should get him more easily.
THAT'S NOT TRUE ! BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE ! ***...
There, it's done at last, phew ! Yet he isn't tough, I can guarantee that,
there's other bosses at about the end, one of these bosses is Godzilla
oh but I was talking about that before. In fact, in the first version there was Godzilla, a huge thing,
and then probably because they didn't have the licence, that's what I explained before, they turned him into...
in fact they removed his skin, so you don't recognize Godzilla you see some kind of skeleton with the organs in it.
See? There's a lot of things like this, some...this game is interesting at this side, there's...well, it's interesting.
I don't even find my words anymore, I can't manage to speak anym- so there, this is a level you must memorizet, look
I'm throwing shurikens because I know that if I move forward too much I'll be *** up.
By the way there was a Power Up there so let's go there.
The particularity of this level is that we can go behind the wire fence, that's not bad.
There will be another level like this later where you are on the edge of a road
and you can go at one or another side of the road.
So look now...wait, *** will I go to the other side ?
Look, now I'm on the other side so these two enemies can't hit me, see ?
However, this guy over there can. Although I'm not sure of it... I don't even know who is in what anymore but no matter,
I'll try to advance faster, I'll try to play roughly, I'll use the...OH *** NO ! I'll use the shield.
I always pass this level by the rough way anyway.
I do it like this, I throw shurikens on them, I'm not doing in half-measure.
Like this. Up there it's an item that gives you an extra summon. Hey, I didn't catch it here ! Thanks !
I'll try to hurry up. And I see I don't have a lot of health remaining.
It's gonna be tough. I'll try to hurry up, fortunately it's not a level that's...
oh *** I don't have any shuriken left so I'm in big trouble. I don't have any shuriken left.
Argh, no it's ok, I'm at the exit so if I die...
besides I think it's the boss, *** I think it's the boss, some kind of machine.
yeah, ah no it isn't, I'm not there yet and luckily they gave me 5 shurikens, well...
That's a level, I think there's shurikens in there, yeah only 5.
There's always these items: either 5 shurikens, or 20, or a life,
or an extra Ninjitsu (not Jinjitsu), which means a new summon.
Once again you must be very careful, it's a level you must almost know everything
you can see that there are doors that are opening and if you get-***, of course it was a bomb...if you get hit...
err...if you get...I'm saying garbage ! If you get near a door when it's open, of course you're sucked up.
Gosh, that's tough, what I'm going to do is using the shield and try to go fast.
What's excellent with the shield is that, well, of course
not only it absorbs attacks but mostly when you get hit
either by a projectile or the enemy itself you don't have a backlash.
I can guarantee you that in this level you mostly die because of the backlash,
thanks to the shield that avoid the backlash effect to happen
it allows you to past this level or else it would be awesomely hard. Without the shield, frankly...
Try it ! Try to get past this level without the shield and you'll understand your pain.
Hup ! Alright ! I think I'm at the boss.
The third level's boss already, and there's 8 world, err 8 main levels...He's really irritating. ***, he's so irritating.
Yeah, he's...he's... But besides I'm lucky because I have the Power Up so I'll try...I'll try not to fail.
You get in. Alright. What I usually do is going here, you mostly must watch out for the rays. You can stay here.
This one almost got me. You just have to watch out for the rays
and when this sort of brain gets out of the machine you can attack him once.
For the one who are really tough: try to go in the core, in the machine but there would be a lot of risks to die.
Because in fact you just have to touch the reactor to lose health so it's really tough. But it's possible.
But I Won't take the risk I don't have enough skill, it's a game where you have to practice
or have natural skill that I don't have
so I play it cheaply, I do it that way, I prefer it like that.
It's long and yet I have the Power Up so I do twice more damage,
when you don't have the Power Up, when you have the classical daggers
it would take twice more time than what I'm-ah, there.
I've already got him even if generally it takes twice more time, it's still ok there. Well anyway, how long has it been ?
21 minutes + the 4 or 5 minutes from the first video I cut, err...
yeah I would like to face the Terminator, besides I think I'm almost there.
It isn't bad, I'll continue, plus this level isn't very difficult. I shouldn't speak too fast. I have only 4 shurikens left so
I'll try to economize them. So yeah it's true that this game has aged, the maniability is heavier-***...
I'll try that but now I'm out of shurikens-no, I have 5. Ah *** it'll be tough. The maniability is heavier, stiffer,
less intuitive, less fluid, of couse slower than Shinobi 3, less nervous, less dynamic, less everything in fact.
Of course it's less everything but it's logical because
once again this game was released in 1989-***... You must put yourself in-*** ! THAT'S NOT TRUE !
You must put yourself in these times' context.
This game is less general public, you must practice, you must have skill if you want to advance in the levels
and you also must know these levels or else it's not worth it.
Ah, this is it ! Those are the famous skins that reminded of Rambo. Maybe here it doesn't remind you of Rambo
that's because it's the european version that has got every licence removed,
which means the character you can see on the bottom:
if you play the japanese version of the game, yet the first *** releases or US releases
you'll see that this guy has got hair like Rambo's, long hair and a bandana that droops on a side
and also he hasn't got those sunglasses anymore, it necessarily makes you think about Rambo,
he's got the same face as Rambo.
All this to tell you that this game has got many things removed afterwards because Sega didn't have the rights.
It's surprising enough that they did that without having the licences, I don't really understand, it's...
it's a little like if they were saying: "Well guys, we'll put in Rambo, Schwarzenegger, Terminator, we'll put in Hulk,
we'll put in Spiderman and we'll put in Batman. We don't have the rights but we don't care."
True that's it's strange enough, right? Once again I don't think I'll be able to show you Spiderman and Batman
and once again I my version you don't see Batman
you see something that eventually looks a little bit like Batman but who isn't him
because his skin has been changed, that's what I explained.
Yeah this level was pretty easy.
So in short to play this game you must have reflexs, that's for sure, you must be fast, I told you you must have skill,
you must think in less than 1 second in some situations,
there for example I shouldn't have gone there because that's an explosive thing.
But this game isn't that bad, even today it's still correct, it's true that it's an atmosphere that isn't
ahh, ***...it's not...it's not Sonic.
There if you fall in the lava you lose directly, and I know that there's a bomb in this box so I won't open it.
Oh, I didn't tell you about the music. So, Mr.Yuzo Koshiro, of course you know him, Mr.Yuzo Koshiro.
I've already done many games...I'll try this path.
Oh ***, of course when I go down there he fires a salvo on me.
Yuzo Koshiro: the Streets of Rage Trilogy, Shenmue, The Story of Thor either on Saturn or Megadrive.
I've already reviewed all of these games.
By the way there's something that always surprised me, I think that it's also the case in Shinobi:
it's that the games in which Yuzo Koshiro worked, always have, or almost...
I mean...in the Title Screen Yuzo Koshiro's name is written on the bottom.
That's surprising enough, I mean, Yuzo Koshiro isn't the only one who made this game,
there's an entire team behind, but we always only see his name
you'll notice that in the Streets of Rage series, The Story of Thor, this Shinobi or in other games,
you'll always see in the Title Screen... err...I'll try to be careful there
yeah that's not bad. In any case what's often written in the Title Screen is his name,
we see the name of Yu...***, *** ! We see Yuzo Koshiro's name.
I dunno if this guy has an overdimensionnated ego, I dunno if he's the one who asks...
oh ***, you really gotta be careful here...I dunno if he's the one who...
*** THAT'S NOT TRUE ! Ok, I'll use the shield. I dunno if he's the one who asks for having his name in the Title Screen,
or if they put his name because he still is a well known compositor,
even if here we are in 1989 he wasn't exceptionally well known,
however even then in 1989 his name was already written so I dunno.
I dunno where it comes from, if somebody knows it I'm interested because it's not something common
by the way I think I never saw that except for Yuzo Koshiro. For example
Nobuo Uematsu is very well known as well or Yasunori Mitsuda: they don't have their name
well I don't think in the Final Fantasy series we can see "Nobuo Uematsu" written in the Title Screen,
but I could be mistaken, I'm saying that by feeling.
Alright, that's not bad. So maybe I'm wrong. So, there the hook will...I remember it, I *** remember it.
There's a hook, alright, that comes.
Hup, let's go. I still gotta be a little careful with those flames.
Yeah so it's true that there's a specific atmosphere to the...I'll wait for now...now go go go !
Specific to the Shinobi series. It's true that it's more adult, it's more mature than other games,
Ah this is it ! This is Schwarzenegger, I'll try to beat him loyally, you'll see that-oof ***...
you'll see that progressively...ah *** now that's tough...
you'll see that progressively...he'll turn into...ah *** ! AHH FOR GOD'S SAKE ! I'm doing garbage. There, I'm dead.
Err...I'll try to play better than that. I'll try to play better than that. Alright, that's not bad.
Ah, *** ***. You can see that he's throwing some kind of motors on me,
of course because the level is in a breaker's yard.
You'll see that progressively he'll turn into Hulk. See? He's becoming green ! That's nonsense !
So what's telling it's Schwarzenegger and that it's the Terminator is what's gonna happen at the end.
Ah, *** ***. Ah but I-OH *** *** I'm in deep *** now ! I don't have any shuriken left.
I'm out of shurikens. Either I use the shield and try to fight him in a hand-to-hand fight by attacking him with daggers
or I try to use the fire columns but I'll have to manage to kill him, which is not sure.
What will I do? Err...I'll try the fire columns, I hope he'll die or else I'm really in deep ***.
"He's untouchable in his actual position..." Let's pray ! Let's pray my brothers !
Come on. Oh *** he's not dead I'm in deep ***. Now I'm in deep ***.
Alright I'll try this way, it'll be tough. Come on ! Oh *** it's...OH *** I was almost there !
I'm sure that...well I think I have one life left before using the first continue.
The problem is that when you use a continue you start at the beginning of the stage.
I didn't tell you but there are 8 stages, and every stage is in 2 levels, 2 levels + a 3rd one that is used as a boss
so if I die here I'll have to redo the 2 previous levels.
I'll try to be careful this time. But how was I out of shurikens ? I did a bad try. Oh *** no...
alright that's not bad. *** NOOO ! Well no matter I'll use the shield. It's my last chance now.
Alright ! That's not bad ! That's not bad !
Well I think I about to get him.
It's fine, he doesn't charge me, what's irritating is when he charges you, and as you can see it's random.
It's ok now. Oh perfect, look.
There, he just turned into Terminator and at the end he explodes so it's really our friend Schwarzy.
See ? There's a lot of throwbacks to the Hollywoodian cinema, that's surprising enough !
But the worst really are Spiderman and Batman, even if you don't recognize Batman, when you see Spiderman
you're thinking: "That's not possible, what kind of joke is this ?" but yet it's him ! It's Spiderman ! Incredible !
Well I'm going to stop here, I can see that I've made more than 30 minutes of video so I think that's enough.
Plus I'm exactly, and that superb, I've made it exactly to the middle of the game.
Like I said there's 8 stages and I just finished the 4th one.
So you can make your own opinion, you've really seen one half of the game.
Errr...I feel like I forgot to tell you about many things,
mostly before I confused myself in what I was talking about I don't remember what subject
but well it's too late, I'll see that in the editing, what was I talking about ? I don't remember.
I moved from the *** to the *** in 2 seconds.
Well for example I haven't told you about the health, exactly, that we can upgrade our health bar
so look at it on the upper left corner.
By the way if you compare this life bar and the one I had at the start you'll see that I have...
probably 2 or even 4, rather 4 extra life blocks.
In fact every 100.000 points, at the end of the level you get points as usual,
and every 100.000 points the game gives you 2 extra life blocks
which is extremely important and necessary mostly at the end of the game
for example against bosses like Godzilla who, I can guarantee you, is a real pain in the ***.
Godzilla, well Godzilla in the 1st version and a skeleton in Europe,
you've understood what I was saying about the differents versions of the game. He's a really tough boss.
Alright ! Except all that yes, Shinobi is a totally worshipply title, it's a legend,
it's part of Sega's patrimony, the Megadrive's patrimony
Personally it's not necessarily my style, I find the game a little too old school, a little too high difficulty for me,
I dunno...I must be a cheap player.
However technically it was awesome, I didn't tell you about that but it absolutely was awesome:
we're in '89, it was a game that showed the Megadrive's power, at least back then
even if we had better later, in 1989 it would've been impossible to make this game in 8-bit,
NES or Master System, it was out of the question, the sprites are huge and the sets are too fine.
Well alright, I feel like I forgot a lot of things but pity for me. I'll tell you bye and see you next time !
