while browsing ebay UK my eyes came across the horrid, horrid cover. Is this out in the US?
i seriously hope not, i can't remember Shinobi standing on a roof in the DAYTIME with a SWORD???

and certainly not wearing purple and black either? Mushashi wears white and red, you fools!!!

The port is asstastic and the box artwork is craptacular... :(

Don't let Yung Burnout see this or he may run to THQ's office with an Uzi. ;)

how could Sega let THQ ruin one of the all time greats?

i am not happy at all with this, the genesis version is one of my all time favourites!

Never trust a company whose sole income is shitty wrestling games.

I do not think it is a port, I believe it is an original game that they stuck that name on. Thank Gawd SEGA had nothing to do with the creation of the GBA game.

I've been meaning to try this game out at work. The box art for it and Phantasy Star Collection have me recoiling in fear like garlic to a vampire. I gotta wonder what's up with THQ since they also published Puyo Pop and Columns Crown for Sega and both of those had okay box art (NGPC Puyo Pop box art > GBA Puyo Pop box art though :D ).

I wonder how much involvement if any Sega had with the GBA version. You'd think with them hyping the character/franchise again with the PS2 version, they wouldn't allow something like this to get under the radar and get published.

Well don't let the box or the publisher fool you.

From the official homepage: "Created and Co-developed by SEGA. Co-developed and published by THQ Inc. "

THQ did developed half of it but most of their games are made by other companies.

I'm really looking forward to the Pride FC game they are supposed to release in February (which has been made by Anchor Inc. who made the first UFC game on the DC).

I see THQ as a publisher and not a game developer.
