So what's going in on here? A crazy man in a bad samurai costume is attacking a middle aged couple in the street? I don't remember seeing them in the game.

Literally one of the worst Genesis covers in direct disparity to the quality of the game, I literally think the only reason Shadow Dancer is forgotten but Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi 3 are fondly remembered is because nobody had a clue this was a fucking Shinobi game based on the Genesis box. They really should have just used the Mega Drive box art, whoever at Sega of America made the decision not to is literally fucking retarded.

Japanese Shinobi 3 also has a way better cover than the US version. I don't know why they thought such beautiful art wouldn't be appealing to us

It's supposed to be a pimp beating up a whole as the ninja arrives to save the whore.

Every night I get down on my knees and thank goog GOD I didn't see this abomination in the game. Guess back then box art was done by people not connected to the game development

The samurai guy is like 11 feet tall. Look how much taller he is than the couple, let alone the garage door nearby.

If he stood up straight, his head would be halfway above the second floor.
