Shinobi Legions, known as Shinobi X in Europe and Shin Shinobi Den (新・忍伝) in Japan, is a video game in the Shinobi series, originally released for the Sega Saturn in 1995. It is a 2D game, similar to Shinobi games found on earlier consoles, and makes heavy use of live action cutscenes which have since been criticised for having poor acting.
Programming errors mean that Shinobi Legions cannot be played if two controllers are connected to the console.
Sega of Europe's producer David Nulty was reportedly unimpressed with Shinobi Legions's quality, and decided to delay the game from seeing a European release so that the entire soundtrack could be replaced. The new soundtrack was produced by Richard Jacques, who aimed for a style closer to that of Yūzō Koshiro, the man behind the Sega Mega Drive Shinobi games' musical scores. For this reason, this version of the game is often seen as superior to its North American and Japanese counterparts.
