Shinobi Legions - Development

Development

The European version of Shinobi Legions, published by Sega Europe and renamed Shinobi X, was delayed and released in 1996 due to the fact that Sega Europe's producer David Nulty disliked the original music score and wanted to change it for the European release, in a similar way that Sega of America did years before with the North American release of Sonic CD. The whole in-game tracks were replaced by noted British video game composer Richard Jacques, while the cutscene music tracks were left intact. The European soundtrack is generally considered superior to the original Japanese soundtrack and closer in style to the traditional series, as Richard had the intention of resembling the style of Yuzo Koshiro previous compositions in the series. The North American version, published in 1995 by Vic Tokai, had retained the same music as the Japanese version.
