Shinobi: Art of Vengeance - Ignore the Haters! This Game Rocks!!

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is making some serious waves in the gaming world (retro included!)

The first of SEGA's New Era, New Energy reboots, a lot of eyes are on developer Lizardcube to see if they can deliver on the promise of reinvigorating classic IPs. AND, for a lot of Shinobi fans, there are a lot of questions on whether they can honour a legendary franchise while still making it fresh for a modern audience. And some have already made up their minds that Shinobi CAN'T be changed!!

Well! That is exactly what we're here to talk about! And this video covers it all from heritage to mechanics, art style to music, Lizardcube to Yuzo Koshiro (Via Tee Lopes), and of course, what we love about it (and what we don't!) Spoiler - there ain't much we don't!
