>All the criticism can be reduced to >REEEE, it doesn't play like the originals
Which is a stupid take considering how each itineration of the series did its own thing. Truth is, demo was fantastic and it was just a warm up.

>how each itineration of the series did its own thing.
All the old shinobi games were fundamentally the same. Even ps2 shinobi was just the same but in three dee

AoV on a fundamental level does not play like shinobi. The hitstop alone is reason enough for someone to make that conclusion but overall it's not shinobi. Hell ragebound plays closer to old shinobi and that's a ninja gaiden game

>>717692393
Shinobi was just a copy of Ninja Gaiden (but good)

>>717691872 (OP)
games goated ill buy it I could live without the tranny platforming though

Its actually pretty similiar to the 3DS game. But no one played that one.

>>717692643
I kinda regret not buying a N2DSXL when they were easier to find. I refuse to buy used hardware.

>>717692643
Was it good?

>>717693035

Yeah, pretty much. Balls hard though.

>>717692393
>All the old shinobi games were fundamentally the same
There was the arcade and Genesis branches. Shinobi and two Shadow Dancer games and then Revenge, Return, and the Saturn games. They are different.

>long ass combos that kill the pacing
>lamo nu-Doom finisher that pops a shitton of money/life/mana
>boring platforming and leve-design

I'm out. Animation is godlike of course, but that won't be enough.

>>717693706
Most enemies die with a few cuts or just one hit, what are you doing?

Spoken like a true newfag
>AoV on a fundamental level does not play like shinobi.
Have you never played III?

>>717691872 (OP)
you can't just disregard criticism like that, if people wanted a metroidvania then they'd go play hollow knight or something else, not shinobi. still, I also liked the demo and thought it was ok, but you should shut the fuck up about the criticism because at least 80% of it is warranted. now have this webm because why not.

>>717694070
Cope I played every game. Even the shiiter gba one.

>3
AoV does NOT play like 3. 3 is smooth as fuck and one of the tightest action platformers ever. You're out of your mind if you think it plays like 3

>>717694717
>Cope I played every game. Even the shiiter gba one.
Then how did you come to the conclusion that PS2 Shinobi is fundamentally the same as any of the prior games?
Blindness? Retardation?

>>717694717
AoV borrows the flying kick from 3 and arguably the wall jumping.

>>717693035
>>717693135
3ds Shinobi was a little too hard. I remember bouncing off an early level where you had to hop around car tops frogger style while still fighting enemies. It was like the 3rd level.

>>717694383
>now have this webm because why not.
Was it supposed to make it look good? Because all I saw was basic as fuck level design solved in the exact same way throughout, jump, air dash, double jump ad nauseam. Boring as fuck.

>>717698373
It's the first secret trial of the game with your basic moveset. I assume things will get more creative.

>>717691872 (OP)
I dont like the metroidvania level design but overall I loved the combat flow from the deno

>>717693706
That sounds fucking awful

>>717698648
I sure hope so because God damn.

>>717694383
>meatboy LOL SPIKES EVERYWHERE design

Fuck that shit.

>>717698786
Anon is a doomposter easily debunkable with the free demo.

Chose wisely.

>>717700767
It just werks

>>717700969
I could never figure these games out to be honest

>>717701156
figure out what? its just a standard action platformer

>>717691872 (OP)
>just wanted Shinobi III but with ACTUALLY CHALLENGING levels
>get Streets of Rage: Shinobi Edition

Have fans ported arcade shinobi to md yet?

>>717700969
>controls like a dream
>OST is even better than Revenge
>6-button mode is pure sex as you DON'T have to use shurikens to do melee attacks
>but lock 6-button mode behind the most convoluted fucking method imagine because fuck you
>also game's too easy, only remotely challenging parts being the Stage 4 boss and the final fucking level
So close, yet so far.

>>717691872 (OP)
>western indie """homage""" to 30 year old japanese game that misses the point entirely.
Go away. I'll play the originals if i want to scratch that itch.

>>717692559
>Shinobi 1987 Arcade
>Ninja Gaiden 1988 NES
>copy

Ok.....

>>717700767
for me its the macaco ninja

>>717692559
Shinobi was first as mentioned before, but they play nothing alike.
Shinobi was a ripoff of Namco's Rolling Thunder from 1986. (And then Konami ripped off shinobi with Sunset Riders).

>>717705103
That's easily the best Alex Kidd game.

>>717702812
It's "too easy" because you're not playing it as intended.
The 6-button mode is literally a cheat - that's why you have to enter a CHEAT CODE to enable it.

>>717706771
not that hard when they are all dogshit, i understand why they lost Dragon Ball license
