Recently we've heard rumours of Shinobi 3DS, and those of Sonic Generations have been picking up steam. Just revealed to the 'net, the latest Nintendo Power cover seems to confirm both. You can view the cover in the gallery below.
While it's likely that the Shinobi title referenced is the rumoured Shinobi 3DS, all we know is that the series will see a "classic revival" – and just about any meaning you can take from that is a good one. However, it seems that we'll see Sonic Generations racing to 3DS for sure.
Which of these two are you more excited about?

YEAH!!1!!
My xbox recently broke so I am SO GRATEFUL for this! Can't wait for Sonic generations!
Sonic Generations 3DS man I can't wait!
Eh, I'll still get Sonic Generations on PS3.
wont sonic in 3DS be seizertastic
I think the bigger story is 10 YEARS OF GB ADVANCE!!! I feel so old...
Aww yeah!
2 more games to put on the "Must Buy" list. And that Nintendo Power looks like a good one. Sonic Generations, Shinobi, and OoT review all in one issue is pretty sweet.
Sonic!!! Shinobi!!! Sega!!! I'm excited about both, but Shinobi more so. Back in the days when side-scrollers reigned supreme, there were two ninjas that rose above the rest. Joe Musashi and Ryu Hayabusa, aka Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden, respectively. While Ninja Gaiden held the advantage in presentation, with its beautifully drawn and exciting cut-scenes, Shinobi ruled in every other category. The Genesis and Game Gear Shinobi games were unmatched by other side scrolling action game in expertly crafted level design, ability to control the character, and insane bosses. Ninja Gaiden accepted defeat and moved into the realm of 3D. There's no telling what Shinobi will do to answer. But it will be awesome. Here's to hoping Revenge of Shinobi is an unlockable...
Sonic Generations on 3DS, woohoo!
Yay!
Now let's hope it's a complete port of the console titles (or better).
is dreaming of a 3DS Chao pet sim
Shinobi FTW.
Any chance there'll be screenshots in the NP issue? If so... scans anyone? :3
Yay, now I don't need to buy a whole new system
Sonic Generations in 3D!!! Woo-hoo!!! Uh-huh, oh yeah, uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh!!!!!
Yes!
But now I need to buy a 3DS, so... yes?
Shinobi is making a comeback! Bout damn time too.
Now how about Bringing Ninja Gaiden back to it's roots?
Imagine the same cool nes style sidescrolling gameplay and those mid stage cutscenes!
Tecmo are you listening?
Bring back classic Ryu!
I wonder if Generations will be a port of the HD game, or a dedicated handheld version?
Either way, exciting news for both titles.
Hopefully one of my first Sonic games will also be the best one.
Legend of Zelda's EPIC REVIEW!!! Sorry, but with the exception of the first 3 Genesis games, I've never really been much of a Sonic fan. Never played Shinobi.
If this new Shinobi game has gameplay like the Super Shinobi games then I'm sold.
cool, hope both games turn out well.
I'm actually pretty excited for Generations! Glad to see it's confirmed
Guess I won't be needing to buy an X360 after all anyhow.
Sonic Generations on the 3DS: YES!!!
Did somebody say a new Shinobi title!? Yesyesyes! Best news ever!
I'm WAY more excited about SOnic!
sweet i luvs me some sonic
i hope the tiny chao garden makes a come back one day... they should make a new sonic for the wii and then you could put it in my 3DS and take it everywhere like nintendogs. that would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
pleasebelikeshinobi3 pleasebelikeshinobi3 pleasebelikeshinobi3 (If you haven't already guessed, I'm an avid Shinobi III fan.)
SONIC GENERATIONS!!!! <3
don't care for anything sonic, but Shinobi thats a different story! Awesome sauce!
A new Shinobi?
oh, oh my
YAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This means I'm campen out at my local game stop! I'm comein sonic!
SG3D???
So.......much.......epic......!
On the 3ds? That blue hedgehog again, of all places!
good new shinobi wonder if its moving to 3d or staying side scroller either way will be good
I'm most excited about Shinobi of course!
Happy days.
SONIC GENERATIONS 3DS! Yay! Just hope after all that it turns out to be good. LOL. Insta-buy though...
I hope they do a good port with this, and including some extras would be awesome (anyone said Chaos? :3). And the fact of being portable adds it a lot of points, at least for me =D
Yay! I can get this game after all:D!
Sonic Generations 3DS ain't gonna be a port of the HD version. It's probably going to be like Sonic Rush but with a few 3D segments for Modern Sonic and Genesis style gameplay for Classic Sonic.
The 3DS can't handle the Hedgehog Engine, so it's gonna be a brand new version of Sonic Generations altogether...and I'll still get it (even though I have a 360)
A new Shinobi!
Oh, heck yes!!!
im so getting sonic generations 3ds
@KrazyBean: While you're right in saying the 3DS can't handle the Hedgehog Engine, who says they can't just port the Colors engine over? Or, better yet, build a mobile version of the Hedgehog Engine? Capcom did it with MT Framework, so why not SEGA?
Ah, thank goodness. I was really looking forward to this game, but I was worried, because my Xbox broke (because it is FAIL) and I don't want or have a PS3. But I do have a 3DS, so when this comes out, I'll definitely get it!
YES!!! Its great that this is coming to the 3DS, this game looks awesome! I wonder why they're not releasing it on the wii.
That Nintendo Power cover would have been blasphemy during the SNES/Genesis wars. Here's hoping for Master Chief on NP in 20 years!
@KrazyBean: Let's not underestimate the 3DS here. It can pull off amazing things. Look at DoA, Asphalt 3D, Ridge Racer 3D, and Rayman 3D. Those 4 have some nice looking 3D. Plus, if it's like the PS3/Xbox, it will only be half 3D. Classic Sonic will only be in 2.5D as far as I know.
Imma run through all the old Shinobi's just because now. I'm REALLY glad that Sonic Generations is coming to 3DS.
Growing up in the late 80s / early 90s, its strange to think that SEGA games will help to sell me the Nintendo 3DS...
OutRun 2 and SEGA Rally next please!
Sonic Generations AND Shinobi? WOO-HOO!!!
I NEVER!!! Wow, Sonic on the cover of "Nintendo Power," and with inconic Super Mario Bros. 3 yellow background no less. Just, wow is all I can say...
I know, I am still stuck in 1992.
@ Ryno
Sonic first Appeared on the cover of Nintendo power back in 2001 when Sonic Adventure 2 was ported to the Gamecube. This is nothing new.
