Is Shin Shinobiden still worth playing in 2026?
A Sega ninja action game, this Shinobi on Saturn, known as Shin Shinobiden, Shinobi Legions and Shinobi-X depending on the region, has ninja Sho cross varied enemy environments with sword and shinobi techniques, with live-action cutscenes typical of the era. The shinobi spirit, the pace and the mood keep a certain character, despite stiff handling and dated choices. A curiosity for fans of retro ninja action and nostalgics of the Shinobi series.
