Fan-developers are working on an unofficial port of GG Shinobi from the Sega Game Gear to the more powerful Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The project, led by a developer known as Pigsy, utilizes the Sega Genesis Development Kit (SGDK) to write the game's code from scratch, ensuring it takes full advantage of the Mega Drive/Genesis hardware.

  • Pixel Art: New graphics have been created to enhance stages while staying true to the original design.
  • Music: Classic tracks are being reimagined in 16-bit style to provide a richer audio experience.
  • Gameplay Mechanics: Improved level collision, scrolling, and overall gameplay balance.

The community has shown strong support for this endeavour, with fans eagerly looking forward to the final product.

What specific improvements do you hope they make in this unofficial port?
