Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master was released in 1993 for the Sega Genesis and was the second and last Shinobi game released for that system. It was the direct sequel to Revenge of Shinobi. Game Play is similar to the other Shinboi games in that it is a 2D platform action adventure game. Shinobi III was originally scheduled to come out in 1992 and reviews had even appeared in various magazines showing levels and features that wouldn't be in the final version. Apparently, Sega wasn't happy with it and went back to rework some of it.
Reviews as a whole are very positive for this game. The graphics and sound are excellent and most importantly the game play is well done. The most common complaint seems to be that the game was too easy. Improvements over Revenge of Shinobi include a lower difficulty level, smoother animation, faster game play and a variety of new moves and abilities.
Shinobi III was successful enough to see a number of re-releases. It was released for Nintendo's Virtual Console in 2007, the Nintendo 3DS in 2013, and an iOS version is available as well. However, the iOS version isn't quite as good as the others. A beta version of the original (before being reworked) can be found out on the web if you want to give that one a try on an emulator for comparison purposes.
