Shinobi, The Skin Flick

SEGA video game Shinobi? Not so risky! Shinobi the adult flick? MAXIMUM RISKY. Rule 34 aside, some unscrupulous individuals have turned SEGA's flagship ninja series into something, well, risqué, substituting shuriken and ninjato for more embarrassing weapons. Like the most recent Shinobi game Nightshade, this Edo-era Shinobi naughty flick features a female lead — several, rather, but in various phases of indignity. The movie stars Ruka Uehara, Shizuku Tsukino, Yuka Satsuki, Shuri Himesaki and Hitomi Hasegawa (all Wiki links). After the jump, we've put the MAXIMUM amount box art as we possibly can!

Pong Slot Machine Pays Out More With Pong Prowess

Bally, former maker of fabulous pinball tables, has introduced something new the world of slots with its Skill Series line of machines, the first of which is based on the classic paddle game Pong. While most slot machines are based on nothing but chance, Pong breaks new ground with its skill-based pay outs. During a 45-second bonus round, a random occurrence, gamblers will be able to play a round of old school Pong. Performing better naturally gives you a higher pay out. Even if you're clueless behind the paddles, you'll still get something, but power Pong players may walk away with a bit more of their cash.

Reader Jason spotted a row of the new machines on the floor of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, testing his Pong skills and sending us potentially drunken pics. The skill-based slots are slowly being approved in states that permit legalized gambling, with manufacturer Bally promising a follow up with a Breakout based slot machine.

If only they had one based on the arcade game Shinobi and not that horrid PlayStation 2 abomination I'd be a 7% richer man.

Super Metroid And Some Other Stuff

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is just a week away, and the VC Metroid Madness continues with the release of Super Metroid (800 points) on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console. This is what I think of whenever people talk about Metroid. I'd go as far as calling it one of the best 2D adventure games of all time. Of course the sheer awesome exuded by Super Metroid doesn't take anything away from this week's other two entries, which were...um. *rereads press release a few times* Oh yes! Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (800 points) for the Sega Genesis, which features Joe Shinobi realizing he screwed up years earlier and Neo Zeed is still alive and kicking. Instead of committing seppuku for his failure he tries to sweep the whole thing under the rug. Amateur. Finally we have Neutopia, the complete and utter Zelda ripoff from Hudson Soft for the TurboGrafx 16 (600 points). Still a fun game - just not a very original one. Hit the jump to see what Nintendo's crack press release writing team has to say! More »

Sega Confirms New Virtual Console Titles We Already Knew About

Two Sega Genesis titles recently rated by the ESRB have been confirmed by Sega of America as upcoming releases for the Wii Virtual Console service. The Climax developed RPG Landstalker and Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master are scheduled to make an appearance on the Wii Shop Channel "soon." Both follow the Sega Genesis standard pricing of 800 points.

The addition of Shinobi III is so personally exciting, I just powered on my Wii in the vain hope that Nintendo issued a Thursday update to the Virtual Console. Sadly, I was turned away and will leave my Wii powered down in protest until Monday morning. Full press release confirming the confirmation right after this.

9 deaths of the ninja

Unlock The Mysteries Of The Ninja Easily (With Sudoku)

As a child, I found myself enthralled by the mystery of the ancient art of ninjitsu. Like any other 80s-raised, red-blooded American pre-teen, I was a boy consumed by all things ninja, having discovered the shadowy assassins via Daredevil comic books and Sho Kosugi films—I even watched the dreadful TV series "The Master" religiously. Still suffering from a Shinobi obsession that began in 1987, I'm still fascinated by masters of the art of stealth. Fortunately for thirty-something ninja wannabes like myself, my brain, if not my body, can apparently match that of a master ninja's, simply by spending some time with my PC. More »

Sega Honors Sonic With Billionth Port

Looking to squeeze every last nanoliter of hedgehog blood from the corpse of Sega's beloved mascot, Sega announced that they'll be bringing an updated port of the 1991 blast processing hit to the Game Boy Advance. It's called Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis and will play exactly like the other 999,999,999 versions of Sonic The Hedgehog you've played on every other platform, from the Dreamcast to the PS2 to the TRS-80, but with the now classic spin dash move. You can also save your progress. *cough* More »
