Sega's classic game comes back to life on Switch! SEGA AGES SHINOBI Shinobi" details are now available!

SEGA Games, Inc. has released detailed information on the upcoming Nintendo Switch software title "SEGA AGES SHINOBI Shinobi.

SHINOBI Shinobi" is a classic game that was released by Sega in 1987 for arcades and later became a big hit in the United States. The first title in the "SHINOBI" series is coming to Nintendo Switch. This action game depicts the battle between Joe Musashi, a ninja living in the modern age, and ZEED, a crime syndicate that controls the underworld.

While rescuing a child ninja taken by ZEED, the player defeats the Syndicate's soldiers and heads to the hideout where their leader awaits. Weapons of choice are ninjutsu and body techniques. They use fighting techniques and swords to attack nearby enemies and shuriken to attack distant enemies. In a pinch, he can use his special ninjutsu to wipe out all enemies on the screen.

At the end of each mission, a huge boss appears. The helicopter carrying the ninja army and the giant computer protected by a statue of Buddha are just a few of the highlights of the outlandish battles, just like in the movies.

The "SEGA AGES" version also includes an overseas version of the game. The game also features a select function that allows you to change the difficulty level and choose your favorite stages, so you can practice your weakest stages. A "melee attack" button, essential for those aiming for the "shinobi bonus" (obtained by clearing a stage without using a shuriken), can also be added. In addition, "HD vibration" has been added.

In addition, "screen modes" have been enhanced. In addition to the familiar "Fit" and "Vintage" modes, a new "Cabinet" mode has been added. In addition to the familiar "Fit" and "Vintage" modes, a new "Cabinet" mode has been added to simulate the atmosphere of playing in a video game arcade.

Details of each mode
Arcade Mode
This mode reproduces the original arcade version. In this mode, you can use the "time-reversal" function, which is unique to the "SEGA AGES" version.

AGES Mode
This is a special mode that can be enjoyed by users who find Arcade Mode difficult. In this mode, players can play in the white costume familiar from "The Super Shinobi.

Also, as in the arcade mode, the "time-reversal" technique can be used.
