3/5 ★ – Hayden_O's review of The Revenge of Shinobi.

Revenge of Shinobi is burdened by brutal limitations that are only present for the sake of difficulty and little else. The double jump needs to be damn near frame perfect to even register, and you can’t do too many movements at once or they won’t work (ex: jumping while turning and attacking). Melee attacks only activate when you’re near an enemy and can also be hit, and limited shurikens are the only alternative, although they restock often. The ninjutsu power-ups also help, but my emulator bugged during World 2, and I used this as an excuse to quit. The soundtrack is PHENOMENAL and you’ll eventually fight Spider-Man, Godzilla, and Terminator??, but even its difficulty settings barely help make this feasible.
