Shinobi Returning; Exclusively for 3DS

SEGA announced today the return of Shinobi, the classic side-scolling action game featuring the story of Jiro Musashi, the leader of the Oboro clan, the father of Joe Musashi, who is the hero from the original Shinobi.

This title is being remade exclusively to be played on the Nintendo 3DS, and will feature a new set of attacks in a new combo system, which will have players switching between using various melee, renged, and high-flying ninja attacks and magic.

“For years the fans have been asking for a new Shinobi,” said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing of SEGA West. “With Shinobi on Nintendo 3DS we are able to answer their prayers and bring this legendary series to the next level.”

Shinobi promises to be and action-packed adventure, and may prove to be a worthy addition to the growing family of titles available for the Nintendo 3DS. Look for this title on store shelves in Sept 2011.
