Shinobi Returns!

Remember Shinobi? The first adventure of Joe Musashi is one of the most famous titles from Sega Master System and arcade in the 80s. Guess what? Sega now has a prequel to the original Shinobi for the Nintendo 3D, telling the story of Jiro Musashi's father, Joe.

The gameplay is the usual with some improvements contained in a system of combos and melee attacks or distance. It is best to see that the trailer for this adventure in 2.5D.



Shinobi comes out in September for the Nintendo 3DS!
