Hell yes! I love the old 2D Shinobi games. I had the 3D one on PS2 as a kid as well but it kicked my arse.

Not from the US but when I see my country’s flag I don’t really feel anything. In theory I’ve got two flags, both the Scottish one and the Union Jack but they both elicit the same lack of reaction.
