From 16-bit to the 3DS era
Ninjas may be well-known, but Shinobi certainly deserves a spotlight. As Sega’s series of action platformers approaches its 40th anniversary, it is noteworthy that these decades have seen both highs and lows. Perhaps the franchise’s ninja heroes prefer to keep their past obscure!
This time, we—Stuart Gipp, Diamond Feit, and Thomas Ni©kel—revisit the arcade origins and initial console releases of Shinobi as we previously covered in January. Joining us this time is John Linneman, who missed our initial session due to illness—or was it an unexpected ninja trick?
Description: It’s the return of Shinobi… in podcasts! Join Stuart Gipp, Diamond Feit, John Linneman, and Thomas Nickel for another analysis of the not-so-average Joe.
