Nintendo is not alone when it comes to reliving the good old days on its new 3DS system. While it has released many of its own titles in the form or rehashes or sequels (most notably various Mario and Zelda titles), it has not gone without drawing notice from other game makers.

SEGA is jumping on the bandwagon and throwing up one of its 1980s flagship classics, “re-imagined” for the 3DS. Shinobi is the story of various ninjas, since the dozen or so games have little continuity in story lines. Originally released to the coin operated arcade, Shinobi has been right alongside Sonic the Hedgehog as one of SEGA’s leading franchises.

The last Shinobi title was released for PS2 in 2003, although it was called Kunoichi in its native Japan. The last authentically titled Shinobi game was also for the PS2 one year earlier.

The trailer for the 3DS Shinobi looks good. It features a lot of scrolling platform fun and hot ninja action. Check out the trailer or read more about it here. Look for it in fall of 2011.
