Decent handheld Shinobi game, that attempts to try something entirely new for the series.
Reflecting back on my experience with The G.G. Shinobi... the main thing that comes to mind, is that it feels more like a Mega Man game than anything? At least as far as the game's structure is concerned. You have multiple differently-colored shinobi you can play as, who are essentially this game's equivalent to the Robot Master weapons/color schemes you can get in any given Mega Man game – plus you have a stage select from which you can play the first batch of stages in any order. After that, you have a final stage, within which you have to make use of every single new weapon and skill that you've obtained in order to reach the final boss. It really is uncanny – but it makes for a solid experience, once you understand how it works. I definitely recommend reading the manual for this game!
