* ThatOneBoss: Chances are it's [[FinalBoss Hiruko]] in a rare case of the final battle entering this status. Using "TATE" attack is essential to killing him because your normal attacks barely scratch him. You have a very short window to attack him because you can't hurt him when he attacks and he teleports around the arena and any missed "TATE" combos when hitting him are lost with no chances for anything other than normal hits. On top of this the only enemies you can get a "TATE" on are these talismans he that don't have features to differentiated the front or back from making it hard to tell which side you should even attack to set up the "TATE", and they fire projectiles at you which can interrupt it, and when he summons large numbers of them you can get pummeled with projectiles on top of Hiruko teleporting in close to attack you with his fans. Most of his attacks aren't very hard to dodge if you are focused on him, if you are trying to build up a combo you can easily get hit from attack coming from off-screen.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Hotsuma has his ScarfOfAsskicking even in cutscenes, but while it's fine for it to clip through things in gameplay because of the simplified visuals, it's very blatantly not made for the fancier and more dynamic motion-captured animations in the cutscenes. The result is a ''lot'' of the scarf constantly clipping into Hotsuma's back if he so much as even bends over a bit.

* ItsHardSoItSucks: As cool as the game mechanics are, and as fast-paced and awesome as the combat can be in the hands of skilled players, ''Shinobi'' was critically panned for being too NintendoHard even at release. Nowadays it's specifically sought by people looking for a real old-school action game challenge, but most potential players would rather never suffer the sheer frustration it can cause.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Hiruko]] is an EvilSorcerer awakened from [[SealedEvilInACan a long slumber in Tokyo]] and sets about trying to TakeOverTheWorld. He wipes out the Oboro ninja clan, and revives them into twisted, undead parodies of themselves to force their surviving leader Hotsuma to fight them while also unleashing hellspawn onto Tokyo to turn it into an inferno. He [[TheStarscream betrays his ostensible master]] to allow Hotsuma to defeat all in his way so Hiruko can absorb their power and restore his youth while gaining ultimate power. It is revealed that the one who broke Hiruko's seal was the Oboro ninja Ageha, in return for Hiruko reviving Moritsune, her dead lover and Hotsuma's elder brother. Hiruko keeps his end, but makes Moritsune a host for the demon lord Aomizuchi and has him kill Ageha while gloating her reward is to die at the hands of the man she loves. He reveals his true plan was to force Hotsuma to kill everyone in his way, his [[SoulEating cursed sword Akujiki devouring their souls]]. Hiruko plans to force the combined souls to himself, giving him a "pure, perfect soul" so he may become [[AGodAmI the most powerful being alive]].
