Shinobi - Art of Vengeance. Released on 29th August across all usual platforms. Developed by Lizardcube who developed Street of Rage 4.

I'm a massive Shinobi fan so looking forward to this one. A demo is also available now.

I may even have a go at Speed Running it!

Wanted to get the physical Switch version then saw its the code in a box BS. So I wait or get it on PC for my Steam Deck.
 
I've never played a Shinobi game before, nor was I interested in this. BUT - having seen some videos of it now and impressions from various people I am thinking that I might give it a shot.
 
Loved the old 16 bit games on the Mega Drive back in the day, that said while I'll wishlist this I think I'll wait for a sale.

I'm not big into platforming anymore and given the cost + backlog it's a bit more than I'd be willing to spend, especially given it looks to be more SoR than Shinobi imo.

Bought it the other day and it really is superb. I'd say it's a Metroid-vania lite action platformer. The combat is very satisfying in it.
 
Yeah its pretty great huh. I've seen various people that don't like the combat but even as a bit of a Shinobi purist I really like the extra effort they've put into the combo system. Jump cancels, OTGs, chains, executions etc.
 
i'm considering this game. i loved streets of rage 4, all the nods to the originals while making it modern
although i don't like it when they kill the combat with complex combos that need to be learned. i know you don't have to learn them but...
hopefully shinobi isn't too much like that
 
I'm liking this 2d offerings coming along but I downloaded demo of this one and wasn't so keen. Prince of Persia Lost Crown was okay combat. Thinking the Ninja Gaiden probably a good one but await a sale.
