The Super Shinobi II, released outside Japan as Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master, is a shooting and hack-and-slash ninja action video game developed and published by SEGA in 1993 exclusively for the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis game console.
It is part of the SHINOBI series and the direct sequel to the previous The Super Shinobi. The game was originally intended to be released in 1992, and to be very different from the final version of the game in terms of levels and storyline.
Shinobi III was included on the Sega Genesis Collection for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It was also released for the Wii's Virtual Console service in 2007, for the PC on the download service Steam in 2010, on the iPhone in 2011 and for the Nintendo 3DS eShop in 2013.
