‘The Revenge of Shinobi’ comes to Android and iOS

In case you missed the news, the 1989 classic SEGA game The Revenge of Shinobi joins the SEGA Forever initiative. The program brings many of the classic SEGA titles to mobile devices. This time we’re getting the side-scrolling beat ‘em up. The Revenge of Shinobi, like the other SEGA Forever titles, will be free-to-play but will support ads. The game also lets you play it with a Bluetooth controller and play offline, which the other games can’t do. It has four difficulty levels and eight districts with its own unique boss battles. If you want to try it out yourself, it’s available on both iOS and Android.
