Description
In this game, once again you are Shinobi, but this time you're out not to free hostages, but to gain your revenge.
All you have to do is go around killing people with "shurikins", or throwing knives.
You can also get power pack upgrades. Once you touch it, your knives turn into fire and you have a ninja sword.
You have to do 3 rounds per zone, kick the butt of a boss and hey presto! You're done on that zone.

Trivia
Development and characters
Early versions of
The Revenge of Shinobi had you fighting
Batman as a boss, but because
SEGA failed to get the licensing rights for the Caped Crusader, he was replaced by a winged demon in later versions of the game. In earlier versions the round 7's boss was no other than
Godzilla, but it was eventually replaced by a skinless dinosaur. One of the other bosses is very reminiscent of the
Hulk.
Spider-Man is also present as a boss. Both Batman and Spider-Man were deleted from from versions of the cartridge released as the "classic edition" and on the version found with the SEGA CD. Instead of Spider-Man and Batman you fight a character that turns into a were-bat.
