Easy to play, hard to master, Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi,
first released in 1987, is the sequel to the original Shinobi arcade
game, and is one of the only games in the Shinobi series to feature true
arcade-style gameplay. Play as Joe Musashi, the master ninja known to
his enemies only as âThe Shinobiâ. This battle is not one you must fight
alone, as this is the first game in the Shinobi series to feature your
ninja attack dog, Yamoto, who will charge foes on command, leaving them
open to a powerful drop kick. Use your mastery of ancient ninja
technique to topple the crime syndicateâthe Neo Zeed Corporation, and
free the foreign dignitaries they have taken hostage in New York City.
Good luck, and may the ninja spirits help guide you in your journey.

Review data for this game has not yet been added to the SEGA Universe rating system.
SEGA Universe ratings are built from the review sources available for each game.
Community reviews are submitted by SEGA Universe members and use a 5-star rating system.
SEGA Universe reviews are editorial reviews written specifically for the site and may contribute to a game’s overall score.
For games originally released on classic SEGA platforms such as the Master System, Mega Drive (Genesis), Saturn and Dreamcast, historical magazine reviews may be used to provide contemporary critic scores from the time of release. These scores are normalised to a 100-point scale before being included in the rating.
For newer releases, Metacritic scores may be used when historical critic reviews are not available.
Not every game uses the same review sources. Some games may only have community reviews, while others combine community reviews, SEGA Universe reviews and critic scores.
Each available review source contributes equally to the final rating.
