Shadow Dancer: The Secret Of Shinobi (シャドーダンサー ザ・シークレット・オブ・シノビ) is a game created in 1990 for the Sega Mega Drive by Sega. Though it shares a similar name and premise, the Mega Drive version of the game is very different to the original Shadow Dancer for the arcade, Master System and home computers. The game is available as part of the Wii's Virtual Console service.
Controls are virtually identical to other Shinobi games: 
jumps, 
attacks, and 
performs a ninjutsu move; this is NOT selected from the pause menu like with other games. Holding charges the attack of a companion attack dog (charge meter shown at the bottom of the screen; releasing attacks.
Story
| “
|
A.D 1997, New York City
Having vanquished the evil
crime empire Neo zeed, shinobi was
not heard from again.
His combat ninga skills were not
needed in a peaceful world.
But a new threat arose. In a
reptilion form that lived on
vicios instinct alone.
The colossal monster moved
slowly and quitly, and its attack
was relentless.
The souls unfortunate enough to
live became 'hostages'
mass panic swept the streets.
It remained only for shinobi
to take action. The ninja of the
shadows.
His weapons were stealth and
quickness of attack. His only
allies when facing over whelming
force.
Relying on ninja weapons and
magic, shinobi fought on. Assisted
by his faithful dog.
This is the story of their
defiance..
