Run Through Shinobi III Part Two video upload

Hello everyone,

Part two of the Shinobi III Return of the Ninja Master will be uploaded later on today (tonight, where ever you are!). This series is all about how far I can get in Shinobi III til I run out of lives and continues, I am playing it on PC rather than a Sega Genesis, this version of Shinobi is from the Sega Genesis/Megadrive classics I obtained through a Humble Bundle a week or so ago. You'll be pleased to know that no save states were used in the making of the Run Through of Shinobi III. It'll be full of derp moments and on the fly commentary, fueled by coffee as I tend to retro game extremely late at night (who doesn't?)

Anways, Shinobi III Return of the Ninja Master classic game that I rate highly, fun and addictive and can't stress enough that if you don't own it... you're really missing out on some cool retro arcade action!

UPDATE - View the video here!

Run Through - Shinobi III Return of the Ninja Master for Sega Genesis

Hey all,

First video up of a five part series on how far I can get in Shinobi III Return of the Ninja Master.  Please check it out and give me some feed back, or just like and subscribe, that would be much appreciated.

Run Through - SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive Classics


As you may or may not know I recently purchased the Sega Humble Bundle and in that bundle were quite a few gems.  Medieval II: Total War, Company of Heroes, Renegade Ops, Hell Yeah and a few others... however! What did catch my eye was the 10 Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games that came with it all and what you got in it was Altered Beast, Vector Man, Golden Axe 1, 2 & 3,  Echo the motherfucking Dolphin, Gain Ground, Crack Down, Comix Zone and last but not least Shinobi IIIL Returrn of the Ninja Master.


I have not played many of those games before, apart from Golden many years ago in my childhood.  I never owned anything Sega either, I was always a Nintendo kid through and through.  Anyway, I have decided to play through these games as they were intended without the use of save states etc to see how far I could get and do a live commentary to capture some frustration and triumph.  It's not a lets play more like a Lets Play and see how far I can get before smashing the monitor.

I am using a PS3 controller with windows drivers and I am not using the save state feature included with the bundled Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games, how hard can it be?  Will find out soon, as I have footage of my first play through recorded and the results will be uploaded shortly.  First game off the rank is Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master...
... much excite.
