Shinobi is the latest video game to get the big screen treatment

Back in the old days, there was no sure-fire indicator of box office poison more than a video game adaptation. That has changed in recent years and now all kinds of gaming mascots are getting their chance to appear in a major motion picture or, at the very least, a streaming series. They're now making a movie based on Shinobi, as reported by Deadline. For the uninitiated, Shinobi is a famous hack-and-slash game developed by Sega in which you play as a ninja. There have been plenty of sequels throughout the years, though they mostly share the same basic story.
