When an announcement like this is made, your mind probably begins to wander to the inevitable question: Who would win in a fight, Nigel the treasure hunter or Joe Musashi? Joe Musashi or ... Nigel? Here's our rule of thumb: If a fight would be decided as soon as the fighters' names were read aloud, it's probably not worth worrying about.

Well.. yeah. They're not going to release a limited amount of games and just STOP. That's kind of the idea.

If anyone here has not played Shinobi 3, hopefully that video can give you a GLIMPSE of what a platformer/action masterpiece is. The art is amazing even by modern standards, the music and controls are perfect, and you are a fucking ninja.
Get this game now. Ninja Gaiden has NOTHING on this, where you are more of an actual ninja, and not, say, a prostitute.

Couldn't have said it better myself. :]
Though the game easily rivals a NG Hurricane Pack toward the end with those insane levels(i.e., the stage with the falling boulders to rabbit jump repeatedly back and forth upon).
And c'mon... the soundtrack was downright *superb* for the 16bit era. Couple this game with the STREETS OF RAGE trilogy for VC and I'd personally be content.
