Revenge of Shinobi is obviously as crazy as Revenge of Shinobi, and is a game, so yes.

I never got to face Godzilla :(

I could never get past the water level (shown in the picture with the Rambo enemy). There was this long gap and I could never clear it even with the upgraded jump ability.

It also had a boss that was a brain in a tank inside a vault lol

I had a tough time beating it, but I learned a trick. On the airship level, there's a spot where you can get 2 lives or 3. All I did was collect it then died. Repeat and rinse. I did it till I got like 50 lives. That was enough to beat it.

I remember reading in EGM that they got sued over Batman and had to replace him with a vampire in later editions of the game.

It's crazy how much copyright infringement games got away with in the 80's and early 90's, especially in regards to ripping off music.

Also, maybe it's cause I never played it much as a kid, but is X-Men for Genesis just a reskinned Revenge of Shinobi?

lol sounds like me cheezing Super C in the fourth level by putting a weight on the fire button at the part with the respawning enemies. Left it for hours, and still got down to single digits by thr end, lol.

lol apparently they made Spider-Man look more like Spider-Man in a revision because they actually had the rights to use him from the arcade game or something lmfao

Yeah, and this was in the era with no cheat codes, so any way I can win I'll take it.

You have to walk all the way to the edge as possible then jump. You might be even floating a little bit.

The extra lives thing was put in there on purpose, it's the first conveyer belt in the fourth stage, just jump to the belt then let it carry you off and you pick up two lives and die

loved that game and completed several times but only now do i realize the references..

last level was a pain and didn't even know until after my first completion there was a bad and good ending. i guess the spikes impaling my gf would have been a giveaway xd.

also, the soundtrack was awesome.

That was an awesome game.

Yeah the vampire thing was basically this were-bat looking motherfucker. I had that version (it was a genesis 6-in-1 pack, also with golden axe, sonic 1, altered beast, a motorcycle racing game and a puzzle game). I think Godzilla was also reskinned as a robotic thing but I'm not sure because I never got that far. I've seen it on youtube though.

There's a really big feature on it in this month's Retrogamer magazine, ironically. With some interviews with key people and those who converted it to home computers and consoles at the time.

Edit - scratch that, I'm thinking of the arcade Shinobi sequel Shadow Dancer! Still a great read either way!

I've played it so many times that it's pretty easy now, but the first few times you will probably die a lot.
