New: 1062 - Ninja Five 0 (U)

[GBA Freak]

oh yeah! Look!

The Americans need a reference so that they can relate to a game!!

I can just hear it now ....... the developers/publishers are in their meeting and someone says

Person 1 : "So what are we going to call this game in America?"
Person 2 : "Hmmmmmm, well, it is a Ninja game, and it has a cop in it, so we will call it NINJA 5-0 after Hawai 5-0!"
Person 1 : "mmmm, sounds good but what about the Ninja? He doesn't look ANYTHING like Steve MacGarret!!"
Person 2 : "Ah, dont worry about that! The Americans are too daft to notice"

;-)

The title screen is more beautiful on the US version

Anyway, I love this game, it's far more better than the piece of crap named "Revenge of Shinobi"
Shinobi would want to revenge for what they did to him!

 

[square]

Revenge of Shinobi was a genesis port, while Ninja 5-0 is a game made for the GBA... So... It figures that the Gba game would be better, especially since, ROS is showing it's age.

 

[T-hug]

The GBA Shinobi was atrocious.

They should have ported: Shinobi 3 - Return Of The Ninja Master!

EXCELLENT!

I agree totally with you there Thugs, even a straight copy of the 1987 (16 years old) shinobi arcade game would have been great.

Man, if I would have known this rom wasn't released, I could have released it to the public first!

This game has been out for at least 3 months over here in the USA.
Since the Ninja Cop rom was out, I thought Ninja Five-O was already released too!

 

[ramzabeoulve]

Revenge of Shinobi isn't a Genesis port, it's a brand new crappy game!

You non-Americans must not understand the five-o reference dating back to the popular Hawaii 5-0 television show years ago. As Ronin points out, it has become a popular slang reference to cops.

I thought it was because Hawaii was the 50th state

edit- oh hang on, I see what you're saying. Its become slang SINCE the
tv show. My mistake, sorry.

This game is pretty rockin. I love the Shinobi meets Bionic Commando gameplay. Good stuff all around.

And yeah, the name NINJA Five-0 is a lot cooler sounding (Just like the US dubbing of Spike in Cowboy Bebop) Yeah gratuitous Bebop references...
