Shinobi for the Nintendo 3DS is an old school-styled side-scrolling 2D platformer beat-‘em up. It is a prequel to the original Shinobi in the arcades and, most importantly, is an acquired taste. The one thing anybody who has played this game will tell you is that it is as hard as an entire brick wall condensed into a single brick. Yes, Shinobi is the most difficult game to pass through my hands in years. Rotastic is Kirby’s Dream Land compared to this.
The 3DS has an extensive library of games, but due to the consoles low sales initially, a lot of great games flew under the radar of most gamers.

Whether you enjoy a good platformer, fighting game, or 3D adventure, there should be something for every 3DS owner to consider in this video.

Game Rumble: A game highly inspired by the SEGA Genesis classic ninja series. Shinobi for 3DS puts you on the role of Jiro Musashi, the leader of the Oboro clan. He is father to the Joe Musashi, who was the ninja in the first game. The 3DS version makes the 12th installment in the entire series.
