Review Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (Virtual Console / Master System)
Does Sega's original mascot go out with a bang or a whimper?
Poor Alex Kidd. The pint-sized, big-eared wonder never really caught on as a mascot, although it was not through lack of trying on Sega's part. Alex appeared in a number of games featuring vastly different forms of gameplay and, with this last throw of the dice, Sega tried to pair the...

We're talking pre-Olympic Games here, too
Sega and Nintendo may be firm friends these days, but once upon a time they were the bitterest of enemies, fighting tooth and nail for dominance of the burgeoning home console market. In the 8-bit era it was the NES which achieved the most success globally, but Sega's rival Master System - with its...

The complete history of Sega's nimble ninja
Sega's classic arcade game Shinobi wowed ninja fans back in 1987; with its addictive fast-paced action and great atmosphere it was only a matter of time before it got ported to pretty much every home format under the sun - including the NES and the Master System. The Revenge of Shinobi was released early...

Hey, hey, he's a monkey
Before Sonic arrived on the scene, Sega's mascot was a monkey boy in a jumpsuit who liked playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. Alex Kidd may have been dumped as soon as the Blue Blur appeared on the Mega Drive and turned Sega into the coolest brand on the planet, but for truly dedicated fans he holds a special place in gaming...

Exactly as promised.
The observant ones probably already noticed, but in a change of pace, Nintendo of Europe already updated their website with all of this week's releases over the past few days. The games in question make up the entire update, as there's no surprises this time. Alex Kidd in Shinobi World on the Master System was the last Alex Kidd...
About The Game
The Dark Ninja, who was banished 10,000 years ago, has returned to rule Miracle World. He also takes young Alex's girlfriend and use her as a sacrifice. To help Alex defeat the Dark Ninja and rescue his girlfriend, a god enters Alex's body, causing Alex to become a ninja master.
There are four rounds, with three levels each. Alex travels through locations like office blocks, construction sites, shipyards, and jungles. He must go through each level defeating ninjas, wildlife and others.

YES!!!!!! Finally, I'll be able to experience another Alex Kidd game. But I wonder if this one's decent...
It was only a matter of time before this would be announced. I'll stick to regular Shinobi thank you very much.
I was pretty much let down by Miracle World, and The Enchanted Castle was quite underwhelming. I hope this is one Alex Kidd title I'll actually like.
LOL! I actually thought the game title was a joke!!!
alex kidd..shinobi world?
wow.
exactly how many AK games were released?! <_<
There are 5 Alex Kidd Releases on the Sms:
The other 2 Sms titles not released on the vc or on a coming soon list is Alex Kidd: BMX Trial (Japan Only), and Alex Kidd: High-Tech World (not released in Japan since the original version of the game is called Anmitsu Hime in Japan).
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World is better than Alex Kidd: High-Tech World. Alex Kidd: High-Tech World is one of the worst Sms games I ever played.
About time, this game I really cannot wait for. It will be very good.
It's suppose to be the best installment in the series.
glad they ditched this guy for sonic
I mean, the game looks good; but does it play good?
Because I'd really like to play one Alex Kidd game that I can go back to every now and then.
Well, Miracle World is the best in the series, and it you don't like it,then you're pretty much doomed to never like Alex Kidd (there is a very small glimmer of hope though.)
@SSBF: Best in series? That doesn't comprehend. In fact, here's how I evaluate the series.
Miracle World: Got the formula right. Paper Rock Scissors doesn't make it a bad game 'cause it requires no luck whatsoever.
Lost Stars: A very boring platformer.
Hi-Tech World: Like 7ht lutz said, one of the worst MS games.
BMX Trials: Only one I've never played.
Enchanted Castle: Went back to MW formula but was plagued with bad controls and awful collision detection.
Shinobi World: Poor man's ripoff of Shinobi.
Nah, this is a great one. This one and Miracle World are the only Alex Kidd games that are really good.
This will be our first Sega Master System title next year.
I'm not a big fan of Alex Kidd games, but if I did download one this would be it.
Looks like we know what NA's next MS game'll be.
