Shinobi is a 2011 hack-and-slash title developed by Griptonite Games for the Nintendo 3DS, representing a revival of Sega's long-running ninja action series. The game returns to the classic side-scrolling format that defined earlier entries in the franchise, casting players as a shinobi working through stages with sword-based combat and platforming. The 3DS release brings the series' traditional action mechanics to Nintendo's handheld hardware, combining the series' historical emphasis on precise, fast-paced swordplay with the portable platform's capabilities. Designed as a continuation of a beloved Sega property, the game draws on the foundational gameplay style established by the original Shinobi arcade release, translating that legacy into a contemporary handheld experience for returning fans and newcomers to the series alike.
