The thirty-third episode of Boss Analysis.
The Revenge of Shinobi is one of the oldest and most beloved games on the Genesis or Mega Drive. But like many games with ninjas, it can be difficult from time to time. I wouldn't be surprised if modern day ninjas used it for their training.
Rather than giving into weaknesses and accepting all the help the game gives me, though, I've decided to do the exact opposite to answer the question I had: Is it possible to beat each of the eight bosses with the bare minimum? This means...
- No shurikens
- No special Jitsu
- No Pow upgrade
All Joe Musashi has at his disposal to overcome his deadliest foes is a short-range knife and a kick. I believe that no boss from any game should become unbeatable if you go up against them in the worst possible situation and was curious to see if this game didn't fall into the same trap as my much-hated Buebeam Trap from Mega Man 2.
