PC Engine Shinobi and Famicom Captain Tsubasa II: Super Strikers


Y'know despite all the things that were taken out for the PCE port of Shinobi, what is it about it that still makes a cool thing to have in your collection? That's a mystery since the lack of stuff in ports usually turn us off.

What was taken out besides the bonus stage where you get to control a hand that throws shurikens at ninjas?

Quite a bit.

> It's missing a mission. if it were the arcade game, it'd skip from Mission 1 to Mission 3.

> No Shuriken to bullet upgrades

> No close range kick/punch/katana attacks, as a result of that, guarding enemies can make you look like a jackass

ASMIK was so awesome.  They totally utilized the power of the PC Engine for their rendition of Shinobi.    Only the best programmers work at ASMIK.  Mission 2 was not in the PCE because Mission 2 is too good for the PCE.  If this were a Nintendo game, Nintendo would say "Gamers do not want Mission 2".

Also, you had damn well better think of me when that title screen shows up.

BTW what is up with those Mandara statues???
Seems like Asmik increased their speed and on the other hand taking forever to kill

what really pisses me off though is that the gap between the statues and the electric force field isn't as wide as it was on the arcade, for that, the statues seemingly got the upper hand from the start.

I thought Mandara was the boss from Mission 2 in the arcade...although I distinctly remember there being 5 Missions and I can only recall 4 bosses from my most recent PC Engine playing experience.

Mission 2 boss is a giant helicopter that squirts out ninjas.
