Team Shinobi
From Sega Retro
This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.
Team Shinobi was an internal research and development team within Sega. It is thought to have been formed after the 1987 Sega System 16 release of Shinobi.
Team Shinobi are thought to have become Sega AM1 at some point during the early 1990s.
The team is not visibly credited as such in their own games, but are credited as the original arcade developers of Altered Beast and Golden Axe in those games's Mega Drive ports (which were handled by another team within Sega). Some arcade games do say TEAM SHINOBI in messages hidden in the ROM, however. The other games here come from comparing staff lists.
