SEGA AGES Shinobi
"Ninjutsu master Joe Musashi returns in this classic side-scrolling platformer. Utilize shurikens, throwing knives, and more to defeat the enemy and free the hostages. Need more time? Use the rewind feature to move back in time to make sure you’re using your best moves. Challenge the Sega Ages version of Shinobi by using the newly added melee button for a special bonus score. Or if you prefer something more achievable, try out the Ages mode and Joe Musashi will have upgraded weapons and increased durability."

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
