Shinobi X

After the amazing Shinobi III for the Genesis Sega decided to go back to the drawing board and give us, well, let's just say it's not the sequel we had all be hoping for. Shinobi X (also known as Shinobi Legions in the U.S.) isn't a bad game, but when compared to the rest of the sequels in the franchise it's hard to get too excited about it. This is one franchise that has fallen a long way since the release of Shinobi III back in 1993. Find out what Tom thinks when you read his full review of Shinobi X for the Sega Saturn!

Sega, if you're listening, please give us the 2D Shinobi sequel we are all pining for!
