25 Mar 2017 2:49		I have played this game so many times over the years but level 3 difficulty final level still makes me want to tear my hair out.
26 Mar 2017 0:47		It's pretty brutal. I've adjusted the "Shadow Dancer" achievement. It would previously only work in Non Shuriken mode... I think it's hard enough as is, so you have the option to do it in either mode now.
26 Mar 2017 3:22		Seems the points are a little out of whack. Defeating the final boss on setting 3 without ninjitsu is only worth 10 points compared to beating the game on setting 3 being worth 50.
26 Mar 2017 3:23		Generally there seems to be a point imbalance issue with some of the stuff on setting three compared to how hard it is to just clear setting 3 and what that is worth overall
26 Mar 2017 8:35		That's fair. It's an easy thing to change, so no problem. I have fixed it up a bit, though I am open to suggestions/criticism on the values.
30 Jun 2017 20:41		"Legendary Shinobi" ..... oh man, I was the one responsible for this achievement existing? @_@
1 Jul 2017 7:36		Yes, I saw your comment and decided to implement it. Everyone send your anger towards Jungon when trying for this achievement, haha. As an aside, is "Shadow Dancer" too difficult? Or are people ok with this challenge? A lot of 700s...
5 Jul 2017 9:11		It might be a little too much ... XD
5 Jul 2017 9:12		They did turn off Professional Goof/Cool on Goof Troop
20 Jul 2017 7:51		Complete the game on level 3 difficulty without reaching 2 or less lives. Fix it, not working.
13 Oct 2017 20:37		They decided for 750k score... ? O.o
9 Sep 2018 4:22		The "Savior" achievement is bugged. If you get the hidden life in stage 1-1 you can't get the achievement.
10 Sep 2018 10:26		Can you change the Genin and Chuunin achievements so that if you beat the level on a higher difficulty you're awarded them as well?
2 Nov 2018 6:46		Are the difficulty achievements stackable?
2 Nov 2018 13:27		They are not
12 Dec 2018 4:31		Don't popup any Achievements on Wii u. I'm using Genesis Plus GX.
30 Jan 2019 21:42		great game.
18 Jul 2019 21:24		can I remake the icon for the Mastered? This is not very beautiful
7 Aug 2019 16:19		Agreed..
22 Jun 2021 19:37		Time to add more challenging achievements
