Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi
Also known as: The Secret of Shinobi | Shadow Dancer
Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi, also known as just Shadow Dancer, is a side-scrolling action game produced by SEGA that was originally released for the SEGA Genesis in 1990. It has been re-released via downloading services such as the Wii's Virtual Console and Steam in 2010. It was also included in the Sega Genesis Collection for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable but it was omitted in PAL version (Sega Mega Drive Collection). It is the second game in the Shinobi series released for the Mega Drive, following The Revenge of Shinobi. However, it is not a continuation of the previous game, but rather a loose adaptation to the 1989 arcade game Shadow Dancer. Like in the original arcade game, the player controls a ninja followed by a canine companion. The Secret of Shinobi was well received by critics.

Description
Easy to play, hard to master, Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi,
first released in 1987, is the sequel to the original Shinobi arcade
game, and is one of the only games in the Shinobi series to feature true
arcade-style gameplay. Play as Joe Musashi, the master ninja known to
his enemies only as “The Shinobi”. This battle is not one you must fight
alone, as this is the first game in the Shinobi series to feature your
ninja attack dog, Yamoto, who will charge foes on command, leaving them
open to a powerful drop kick. Use your mastery of ancient ninja
technique to topple the crime syndicate—the Neo Zeed Corporation, and
free the foreign dignitaries they have taken hostage in New York City.
Good luck, and may the ninja spirits help guide you in your journey.
