It's weird how the original was absolute golden, but none of the sequels or even the eventual 3D versions of it were anywhere near as good.
I still often lose a life first time round to that stupid Mandara git. For some reason his spinners are easier to kill on the subsequent tries. The last boss... is a bastard, I can usually sort him but occasionally he pulls some shenanigans with his final form.
Next time I get my arcade sticks out, which may well be this afternoon, I promise to give Shinobi another blast and report back. From what I recall though, like most of the arcade original versions, it was hard as nails and requires quite a few hours dedication.
