Identity and backstory
The role of tire "Shinobi" and Chinobi is most commonly associated with that of Joe Musashi, the protagonist of the original arcade game and many of its sequels. His name is a combination of both an archetypical western first name and Japanese last name, Musashi likely being derived from the legendary Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. In the manual of The Revenge of Shinobi, Musashi's backstory is told as that of a weak boy who first entered the dojo of the Oboro clan at a young age and gradually, through tireless practice and meditation, worked himself up to become the most skilled and respected ninja of his clan.

Son existence paisible dans les montagnes du Japon est brisée lorsque le syndicat du crime totalitaire Neo Zeed prend le pouvoir et menace de prendre le contrôle du monde. Le clan Oboro est traqué par les sbires de Zeed, son maître assassiné et sa petite amie Naoko prise en otage. Musashi jure vengeance, et dans les batailles qui s’ensuivent, comme chronique  dans La Vengeance de Chinobi, tout sauf anéantit Neo Zeed.

Le frère aîné devient corrompu et enlève la fille du maître à la recherche de la technique ultime du ninjitsu, et Sho doit l’empêcher de détruire le monde. Ni Joe Musashi ni le clan Oboro ne sont mentionnés.

Après une interruption de sept ans dans la série, l’archétype principal revient  dans Shinobi CFD dans CEB Chinobi   pour PlayStation 2 comme Hotsuma, un autre membre du clan Oboro. Dans un thème similaire à Shinobi Legions, le jeu commence avec Hotsuma tuer son frère aîné Moritsune au cours d’un rituel oboro pleine lune. L’intrigue principale tourne autour de la bataille de Hotsuma avec un puissant sorcier appelé Hiruko. Le jeu a également comporté Joe Musashi comme un personnage caché, ainsi que Moritsune lui-même (qui apparaît dans l’histoire du jeu comme un ennemi nommé Aomizuchi).

Dans une rupture complète avec la tradition, Nightshade a comporté un shinobi femelle nommé Hibana.

Il est plus traditionnel verser moins en jeux Shinobi jeux Chinobi deux de commencer l’intrigue à partir de zéro et héro d’introduire de nouveaux dépersonnages dans le rôle de ninja.éro

Trademarks
Shinobi's main weapons of choice are the shuriken (or throwing knives), but over the course of the series the emphasis gradually shifted to a ninjato. One of the most important moves in the games is Shinobi's somersault, performed by tapping the jump-button a second time at the height of a jump. The somersault is used to leap onto high-places, perform trick jumps and use the hedgehog shuriken attack to wipe out several opponents at once. The ability to run was not introduced until Shinobi III.

Another staple of the series are the four magical ninjitsu attacks Shinobi can use to kill his foes, or improve his own abilities. The four ninjitsu techniques are: Ikazuchi, Fushin, Kariu and Mijin. An in depth discussion of said techniques can be found in Shinobi III.

Each level in Shinobi is usually divided into two or three scenes, and the final scene is always a battle against a powerful boss character. Standard Shinobi stages include bamboo forests, dojos, Hong Kong styled docksides and industrial complexes filled with biological monstrosities.

Timeline
Following is a timeline of releases in the Shinobi series. Listed are the name of each game, the corresponding release date and the consoles for which they were developed/ported. Further below is a brief discussion of each release. For a more detailed examination of each game, click on the corresponding link in the timetable.

Shinobi (1987)
The game that started the franchise and launched Shinobi into fame, the original Shinobi is still considered a classic game of the arcade era. Released in 1987, it was ported to the NES Commodore 64 & Sega Master System. Shinobi introduced several novelties to traditional platform mechanics, such as sophisticated enemy AI and multiple layers in each level.

Shadow Dancer (1989, 1990, 1991)
Shadow Dancer was an arcade sequel to the original Shinobi. The plot follows Hayate, Joe Musashi's son. As opposed to his father, Hayate is accompanied by his pet dog Yamato.

The Sega Mega Drive version is titled Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi. In the backstory depicted in Western releases, Hayate was replaced with Musashi, whereas the original Japanese backstory retained Hayate and fleshes out his origin. Although the basic gameplay is similar to the arcade version, none of the actual game content — from levels to character art — is the same.

The Revenge of Shinobi (1989)
The debut of the ninja on the Sega Genesis console, The Revenge of Shinobi was widely praised at the time of its release and long one of the most popular games on Genesis and is still regarded as the best entry in the series by many. In Japan it was known as The Super Shinobi. Its soundtrack was written by acclaimed composer Yūzō Koshiro.

The Cyber Shinobi (1990)
The Cyber Shinobi was a Sega Master System exclusive title, released as a follow-up to the Master System port of the original Shinobi. Neo Zeed has resurfaced once more and threatens to destroy the world, this time under the name of Cyber Zeed. Equipped with shuriken as well as automatic weapons, Joe Musashi must prevent them from acquiring enough plutonium to melt the earth. The Cyber Shinobi is notorious for being one of the worst games in the series. Since it is mentioned in the manual that the hero's grandfather defeated Neo Zeed, the Joe Musashi-character in this game appears to be the grandson of the original Joe Musashi.

Shinobi (1991)
The debut of Shinobi on the Game Gear system was simply titled Shinobi, though in Japan it was known as The GG Shinobi (The Game Gear Shinobi). Its gameplay is largely reminiscent of The Revenge of Shinobi. In a take on the popular Japanese Super Sentai series, Shinobi revolves around the quest of five coloured ninjas (red, pink, blue, yellow and green) to bring down a powerful crime organization. The game starts with the player just controlling the red ninja and then freeing more and more of his compatriots as he progresses through each level. The soundtrack was once again composed by Yūzō Koshiro.

Shinobi 2: The Silent Fury (1992)
The Silent Fury (also The GG Shinobi 2) is a direct sequel to the original Shinobi game on Game Gear, and features much of the same gameplay mechanics as its predecessor. Both Shinobi and The Silent Fury were Game Gear exclusive games. It was scored by Yūzō Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima.

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (1993)
Known as Super Shinobi II in Japan, Shinobi III is regarded by many as the high point of the series. It introduced a much smoother, faster style of gameplay while keeping the series' familiar trademarks firmly intact. The game marked Musashi's last appearance in a Shinobi game until Shinobi was released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2.

At least two known beta versions of Shinobi III are currently in circulation, featuring almost completely different levels from the final game.

This game was released on Steam on Jun 1, 2010.

Shinobi Legions (1995)
Shinobi Legions was the only Shinobi game developed for Sega Saturn, and the last sidescrolling title in the series until Revenge of Shinobi on the Game Boy Advance. The gameplay is similar to that of Shinobi III but with many tweaks. The plot represented a break with the traditional storyline of the previous games, as it focuses on an entirely new character named Sho. Shinobi Legions is also notable for its use of live-action cutsequences between each round and the use of digitized live-actors in game sequences.

Shinobi (2002)
Shinobi finally debuted in the world of 3D gaming with this PlayStation 2 exclusive title (the third game in the series to simply be called Shinobi). The story introduces a new member of Oboro clan called Hotsuma who, in the game, has to fight the evil sorcerer Hiruko and put an end to anarchy in Tokyo. Shinobi's gameplay is based upon a combo system called the tate-system (pronounced "taa'tay"), which produces a very fast and smooth style of play. However, even more so than other Shinobi titles, Shinobi is also noted for its extreme difficulty. Whenever Hotsuma dies, the player has to start the level all over again. This reboot of the franchise has not been as well received as the previous games in the series because of average graphics and the somewhat repetitive gameplay.

As one of its many secrets, Joe Musashi can be unlocked as a playable character after finishing the game.

Dark Horse comics produced a Shinobi #1 comic book based on the characters from this game.

Nightshade (2004)
The most recent game of the Shinobi franchise and the first to feature a female lead as the Shinobi character. Nightshade is a continuation of 2002's Shinobi with differences to the gameplay. In Japan, the game is known as Kunoichi, the Japanese term to denote the female equivalent of Shinobi.

Spin-off games
In 1990, SEGA released Alex Kidd in Shinobi World on Sega Master System, a spoof of the original Shinobi game in which Alex Kidd takes the position of Joe Musashi. In the game, Alex Kidd has to rescue his girlfriend, a native of Shinobi World, from an evil ninja named Hanzo. A good ninja fuses into him and gives him his powers.
