Ninja Gaiden Shadow features simplified play mechanics compared to those used in the NES trilogy. In contrast to the variety of ninja arts and power-ups available in the NES games, Ryu only has a basic sword attack and a Fire Wheel attack that can be replenished for up to five uses. They had the opportunity to port three great games, and maybe improve them for the 16 bits (like Nintendo did with Super Mario All Stars), but they left them amost identical, and with the most uncomfortable button layout ever.

Ninja Gaiden Shadow (Game Boy)But everything else still smells like Shadow of the Ninja – the extra containers lying on the floor, the identical music tunes, the hand-to-hand shimmying instead of wall climbing (plus a cool new grapple hook, whose use is limited to pulling Ryu straight up vertically, though), the enemy and stage design and whatnot. There’s even proof that the change came upon the game pretty late in development, as Nintendo Power previewed the game as Shadow of the Ninja as late as September 1991, only three months before the final game came out. The American title even sounds like it pays tribute to its roots, but the Japanese subtitle just means “Skyscraper Showdown”.
Helldorado days tombstone az schedule. At 1:26 the Crystal Palace in Tombstone is shown as a parade winds along Fremont Street. At 3:44 a banner proclaims 'Helldorado'. A stagecoach, Civil War soldiers and cowboys on horseback are shown along with a parade of covered wagons. At 3:05 a re-enactor draws his gun while at 3:06 crowds thrill to a mock stagecoach hold-up.

Ninja Gaiden Shadow (Game Boy)But back to Ninja Gaiden Shadow. It’s a much stripped down version, no matter whether it’s viewed it from the Ninja Gaiden or the Shadow of the Ninja standpoint. There’s no in-game storytelling other than the intro, your attacks are very limited and the level design is rather boring most of the time, though not entirely without fun ideas. Not bad for an early Game Boy title, but it won’t keep you occupied for long. At least the music is pretty good – some of it sounds very similar to Shadow of the Ninja, but there are a few classic Ninja Gaiden tunes interspersed as well.
