‘The Revenge of Shinobi’ comes to Android and iOS

In case you missed the news, the 1989 classic SEGA game The Revenge of Shinobi joins the SEGA Forever initiative. The program brings many of the classic SEGA titles to mobile devices. This time we’re getting the side-scrolling beat ‘em up. The Revenge of Shinobi, like the other SEGA Forever titles, will be free-to-play but will support ads. The game also lets you play it with a Bluetooth controller and play offline, which the other games can’t do. It has four difficulty levels and eight districts with its own unique boss battles. If you want to try it out yourself, it’s available on both iOS and Android.

SEGA to pull ‘Jet Set Radio’ from Google Play Store

SEGA looks like they want to work out the kinks of its Jet Set Radio game as they plan to pull the game out of the Google Play Store soon. There have been issues with the game on iOS 8 and while there are no similar reports for Android, SEGA wants to make sure all users get the game experience they intended for it. They didn’t set a specific date yet when the game is going to come back for both platforms though. If you still want to check it out before it gets pulled from Android (temporarily), now is probably the best time to download it.
