Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi

Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi, also known as Shadow Dancer, is a side-scrolling action game from SEGA, originally released in 1990 for the SEGA Genesis. It was re-released in 2010 via download services such as the Wii's Virtual Console and Steam. It was also included in the Sega Genesis Collection for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, but was omitted from the PAL version (Sega Mega Drive Collection). It is the second game in the Shinobi series to be released for the Mega Drive, following The Revenge of Shinobi. However, it is not a sequel to the previous game, but a loose adaptation of the 1989 arcade game Shadow Dancer. As in the original arcade game, the player controls a ninja accompanied by a dog. The Secret of Shinobi was well received by critics.
