Discover new ways to train your brain, as the best-selling Brain Training series returns to Nintendo DSiWare with A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Arts Edition. Also this week, the whole family can have fun in the pop-up world of PictureBook Games: A Pop-Up Adventure on WiiWare, gamers can put their best ninja moves to the test in the classic arcade game Shinobi on Virtual Console, while mythical beasts do battle in Combat of Giants: Dragons - Bronze Edition for Nintendo DSiWare.
It came from the shadows, and to the shadows it shall return. Here are the best ninja games on the PlayStation 2.
*ARAGAMI 1 and 2 for a current fix
**Wrath of Heaven is probably the greatest ninja/stealth game ever.
Shinobi was okay. Your sword drained your health. So you had to constantly keep moving. You couldn't take your time to even explore or even breath. Nightshade rectified this.
These remakes and remasters are must-haves in this next generation.
Gunstar Heroes was made by Treasure. I'm not sure if that IP actually belongs to Sega. If it does, the ONLY modern day developer that I think would do that game justice is Housemarque. Maybe Sega could collaborate with Sony to let them make a modern day Gunstar Heroes. I definitely think Shinobi and Afterburner need modern day remakes though.
I feel like there are stronger Sega IP's than some of the ones that were listed such as...
Vector Man
Comix Zone
Virtual On
Ranger X
Jet Set Radio
Landstalker
Eternal Champions
As hard as it was, the Shinobi remake that came out on PS2 was decent. But yes, a new remake would be great. Always loved that series.
Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training is back and has just been released on Nintendo Switch.
