Revenge of Shinobi, much like the arcade original Shinobi, Shadow Dancer and Shinobi III were designed with tight gameplay in mind, if the player fails, it's never the game's fault.

With this mod, it basically breaks the game, normal jumps are as high as the special jump using magic and the easy double jump also affects tricky parts where the player basically needs pixel perfect positioning, the original mechanics were designed around this.

I can't recommend this as it not only modifies normal jumps, breaking the original intended tight gameplay, but also makes later parts in the game play very differently than intended by the developers.

Billy TIme Games! does it again. It seems this person has a knack for making hacks I quite enjoy; after his wonderful SSF2T and EC: CotDS difficulty nerfs, this double jump timing change for Revenge of Shinobi makes all the difference in the world to me.

Vanilla timing always felt strange to me and areas that shouldn't be difficult at all are because of how the jumping was handled. Maybe it's my fault for being spoiled by (and much preferring) the Shinobi 3 - Return of the Ninja Master's much faster and fluid gameplay.

Anyway, rant aside, this great hack should breathe some new life into a classic, since the hero doesn't move like a tired old man anymore.

I'd love to see this hack expanded with a few more tweaks like the crazy light effects of the nightclub toned down during the fight with the yellow ninja; that part really hurts my eyes.

As great as this game is, the double jump always felt a bit too stiff. With this hack it feels more fluid and I like it better. On the other hand, I prefer the original game's jump height. It'd be great if there were separate patches for the "Easier Double Jump" and the "Slightly Higher jump height". Thanks!!
