We've heard many a well-crafted combo of electronic and regional/world instruments, with Asia representing a vast majority of those blends, but one thing that sets rebrained's mix apart is the emphasis on Erhu for much of the melody - while the overall piece is energetic, dynamic, and very smoothly mastered, this component adds on top of all that a memorable & expressive lead.

I'm looking forward to hearing more from rebrained, and it's always great to have more PC games represented on OCR!' The original song is really great stuff by Jackson, so congrats to rebrained for dialing up the energy and adding his distinct spin while keeping the structure intact. Having not heard Shadow Warrior's music until this submission, I enjoyed getting to hear another side of Lee Jackson's work, since I'm a fan of his from Duke Nukem. The synths, electro-wobbles and all that wub-style goodness paired surprisingly well with the more organic Eastern winds and strings. Anyway, when I first heard rebrained's piece, the only thing I took issue with were the beats at 1:55 not having enough impact, but when I ran that by Risto, he agreed and made a quick adjustment to thicken the sound up a bit. :-D The original game's available on Steam for free, by the way, so what's not to love. ' Man, those '90s games? 'Lo Wang?' I almost admire the shamelessness. I remember playing the old DOS classic myself and having a ball, although it certainly never sounded like this - the artist has done an excellent job modernizing things while still keeping a VERY strong emphasis on the traditional bits it's actually a good companion mix/sibling to Brandon's MM9 mix we just posted. The aforementioned remake has of course been released since this was submitted, and seems to be have been met with generally positive reviews. Risto really blows it out of the water on the regional instrument count, fully embracing the game's own giant bear-hug of all things Asian. Ninja Gaiden Shadow, released in Japan as Ninja Rykenden GB: Matenr Kessen and in Europe and Australia as Shadow Warriors, is a side-scrolling action game. I guess this falls into that category as well.' I've tried it on a few other occasions and - tongue in cheek - tagged all that as 'Shanghai step'. I have a certain affinity towards Asian music and instruments, so this proved to be perfect opportunity to test what kind of sound it would make when traditional sounds gets flogged and mauled by modern production. The original game was heavily based on Asian stereotypes and the music promptly followed suit.

And now that they're actually developing a new Shadow Warrior title, I needed to step up a bit and update and refine this track to match up the standards.

Production of this remix started almost three years ago when I made the first version 'for teh lulz.' I was imagining the possibility of the game getting a proper sequel, or perhaps a remake, and started doodling with my own ideas on how to tweak the main character, the story, etc. I'm not usually one to go nuts over things, but this game does that to me, there's just not enough praise I can sing to it. 'To me, Shadow Warrior was the best thing to happen after Duke Nukem 3D, and ever since GoG re-released it with add-ons, I've been tripping balls down the proverbial memory lane. Our first ReMix of the original DOS incarnation of Shadow Warrior is a badass electronic arrangement infused with traditional Asian instrumentation, courtesy newcomer rebrained (Risto Kokkonen), who writes: 'Ninja Gaiden Shadow (Game Boy) at Ninja Gaiden Homepage'. Another (Game Boy title) to look for is Shadow of the Ninja, a Game Boy adaptation of the NES ninja thriller. ^ 'Game Boy Special Feature: Coming Soon'.The Nagoya division of Natsume, which developed Shadow of the Ninja, also developed Ninja Gaiden Shadow. Ninja Gaiden Shadow was originally planned to be a Game Boy adaptation of the NES game Shadow of the Ninja. Like in the NES versions, Ryu can find health potions, fire wheel stocks, and extra lives by destroying item containers. Unique to this installment, is Ryu being equipped with a grappling hook that allows him to latch onto hard-to-reach railings. While Ryu cannot stick to or climb walls like in the NES games, he can hang onto railings and move underneath them like in Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom, and use both his sword attack and the Fire Wheel art while hanging onto railings. In contrast to the variety of ninja arts and power-ups available in the NES games, Ryu only has a basic sword attack and a Fire Wheel attack that can be replenished for up to five uses.

Ninja Gaiden Shadow features simplified play mechanics compared to those used in the NES trilogy.
