Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (W) / The Super Shinobi II (J)

Here you will find the songs from the final
version, as well as a few from the last beta
version, from 1992.

The beta version of the game featured poorly
translated intro text, as well as a different
song list. There are a lot of translation
improvements between the two versions of the
game.

The following notes refer to the beta version,
ripped by vampirefrog:

I used Fusion 3.64 for logging, vgmlpfnd to
find the loops, and on many of the songs the
loops found were 5x longer, so I divided the
number of samples in the loop length by 5 and
got the proper loop length.

Here are the corresponding songs in the sound
test:

Here is a transcription of the intro text,
typos and all:

THE NINJA WHO EXISTS ONLY IN THE
SHADOW AS THE SECRET AGENCY.
FOR LONG CENTURY  WORLD WAS BROKEN
APART BY THE TWO BIG NINJA PARTIES.
ONE WAS THE EVIL NINJA AND ANOTHER
WAS THE OBORO NINJA STRUGGLE TO SAVE
THE WORLD AGAINST THAT.

TWO YEARS AGO JOE MUSASHI OF OBORO
PARTY KILLED MASKED NINJA THE
COMMANDER OF THE HUGE DARK PARTY
NEO ZEED.
EVERYBODY THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS NOW
IN PEACE. BUT IT WAS NOT A TRUTH.
MUSKED NINJA WAS AN ONLY DUMMY AND
THE REAL BEHIND-THE-SCENE MANIPURAT
-OR WAS THE SHADOW MASTER!

The sound test also had a sound calld 'Uma',
but that's just the sound of horse feet, so
I removed that.

There are small differences between a few of
the songs, between versions. Thanks to
ValleyBell for pointing the songs out.
