Shinobi - Anyone get it? - Impressions?

Shinobi comes out today for the 3DS. I have looked at a couple of reviews from smaller sites and it seems to be getting around 7.5/8.0 scores. The main knock seems to be the graphics are not very good for a 3DS game. It really looks like it could have been made on the DS. IGN hasnt put up a reviewyet, but im sure it will be today. GS will probably review it in a few weeks. lol.

It looks like alot of fun though. Supposed to be extremely difficult. The movement described seems like a cross between old Shinobi and newer Ninja Gaiden controls. Seems pretty cool. Any thoughts yet?

Im a fan of the shinobi series and do want to pick this up also. The graphics aren't amazing but the game does look fun. Has anyone picked it up?

Its an all-new game right, not a remake?

I'm interested to hear as well. May pick it up next week if I hear good things about it.

It's actually pretty good. I haven't played too much of it yet, but from what I have played I'd give it an 8 or 8.5. One thing that suprised me was the fact that there is a decent amount of content in this game. It's also pretty hard, which is fantastic because I love a good challenge.

I keep waffling back and forth between Ace Combat, Shinobi and Mario 3DL. I guess I'll just make the decision in store... (Just copy/pasted this comment in the Ace Combat/NFS thread, too- I'm hoping someone can direct me to reviews for Ace Combat/Shinobi to help me with the big decision.)El_Zo1212o

Go to gamerankings.com. They list reviews from tons of sites (some very small).

[QUOTE="El_Zo1212o"] Any voice acting or cutscenes? what kind of content? Modes? Costumes? Artwork? My local Gamestop dropped the ball today and they didn't have Shinobi or Ace Combat, so I settled on Mario.El_Zo1212o

[QUOTE="El_Zo1212o"][QUOTE="LightEclipse"] There isn't any voice acting and the cutscenes aren't too great. As you go through the game you unlock music (which is actually pretty good imo), cutscenes that you have viewed, Artwork, Cheats, and the history of Shinobi. I could be wrong but, I believe you can also unliock Joe Musashi (the original shinobi). There is also a mode called shinobi theater. I haven't tried it yet but I think you can save replays. That's all I know atm.

I got the shinobi for the 3ds. What it makes me want to buy was when I try to look at the nostalgia in youtube where you can watch shinobi 3 walkthroughs and then I decided to buy it especially the music and boss fights.

the graphics is good and im pretty sure this couldn't be made for the DS but for 3ds only because the screen is just too small to appreciate its graphics. Oh yeah it reminded me of Okami graphics which is ummmmm cell shaded paint brush style? Overall, its like Okami graphics

Just like the old shinobi games, it always has a score thingy to determine your rankings in each mission.

The controls is good enough but totally new from the previous side scroll shinobi except for multiple shurikens from a double jump.

the 3d is not really apreciated except when you try to ride a horse and with a 3d on, umm you can actually see its depthness. its cool.

don't know the replay value with its street pass thingy.

In conclusion, since im a fan of shinobi games. more likely you might buy it. but for those who aren't, well you might try it becuase its a ninja game and ninjas are cool but unamerican but who cares .
