You know... now that I've played Sonic and the Black Knight...

I now SERIOUSLY want them to make Shinobi for the Wii.
I mean, look at the gameplay here:

This could EASILY translate to Sonic and the Black Knight's controls.
Of course except for being on rails, but you get the point.

I mean look:
Swing Wiimote = Swing Sword
A = Jump
A, A = Double Jump
Z = Dash
C = Shuriken
B + Swing Wiimote = Charge Attack
B + A = Ninja Magic
Swing Nunchuck = Kick
Control Stick = Run

See? It works!
I mean, as a Sonic fan I can appreciate how Sega tries to make allot of Sonic games, but really Shinobi is nearly as important to me as Sonic.

Like if Sonic was my Grim Reaper, Shinobi would be my Buddha. (Yes, I'm somewhat of a fan of Buddha too)

Isn't Shinobi that ridiculously hard game where like 70% of each level consisted of bottomless pits?

I guess you could call it that. Yeah.

Aw yes. I remember Shinobi being played on my PS2 by my uncle and a friend once. It looked awesome to be honest. It's something I'd rather watch others play then play myself though.
