The 2002 release of The Revenge of Shinobi is a Game Boy Advance game developed by 3d6 Games. Though it belongs to the same series, it is unrelated to the Mega Drive game of the same name.

The game makes heavy use of prerendered graphics and uses plenty of asian stereotypes, not related to Japan or Ninja in particular, sometimes poorly implemented, e.g. the first boss you encounter uses thunder attacks and the Japanese Kanji for "Electricity" - "電" is displayed, albeit mirrored. Such a symbol does not exists.

Gameplay is much slower paced than other Shinobi games, with a bigger focus on collecting keys, pushing switches etc. It was not well received, both by fans of the original series and gamers in general.
