Shinobi was a commercial success in arcades; it topped the monthly Japanese table arcade charts in December 1987, and became a blockbuster arcade hit in the United States, where it was the highest-grossing conversion kit of 1988 and one of the top five conversion kits of 1989. It was adapted by Sega to its [[Master System]] game console, followed by conversions to the [[NES]], [[PC Engine]], and home computers. It was re-released as downloadable emulated versions of the original arcade game for the [[Wii]] and [[Xbox 360]]. The arcade game joined the Nintendo [[Switch]] in January 2020 through the Sega Ages series. Shinobi's success inspired various sequels and spin-offs of the [[:Category:Shinobi|Shinobi series]]. | |||
