Well, if I were you, I would release both hacks. Can't go wrong that way. |

Thanks for the comments!
But I'm confused... I continued the color version today and honestly I don't know if I release the B&W version, the colored or both!
Take a look at this comparative video, with some seconds of each hack (about 4 megs):

I dig that new screen makeover Macbee. It kicks ass, Nice job!  |

Yeah, it looks better. Some ingame color screens would be even better. I'm sure you can make good use of a colored palette. Since the new sprite's face is so small you might as well ignore skin color and have a single-shaded sprite, which I think looks better in the end. |

the new coloured version is better imho than the old one and the BW version is very good also. |

I like that B/W screen; it looks a little bit Golgo-13-ish; like the opening part of that game, in Berlin.
That's what we need, a Golgo-13 hack! Has anyone ever tried? |

Thank you guys!
In fact I am thinking about releasing two versions of the game... The Black and White and a colored one... |

The graphics themselves are looking more like the SMS version's, at least. I'm not so sure about the whole B&W thing (as that gameplay screenshot looks a little...bright to me, particularly the status bar), maybe a different single-color would work better (after all, Classic Game Boy games were rather greenish  , and the NES does have a decent number of greens). But still, it's looking a lot better than the original NES version. |

B&W Shinobi looks good, & he's more slender, lookin like a real ninja imo. |

Thanks Iamhiro! You're right about the background. I could make it more detailed, but I'm just trying to get closer to the Master System ones. Maybe in the next screenshots (coming soon!) the difference will be more evident.
Sorry about my English

Well, the shinobi sprite rocks. The background is possibly not up to par with the Shinobi sprite but it seems better than the previous graphics. |

Hello, it's time to receive tons of critics
See the first in-game screenshot, really looking like a Classic Game Boy game.

The color pic looks too plain, but the BW pic looks better, it has more detail. Really looks good, it's like some old movies from the 1940's, they just look better in black & white imo. |

New comparative image. You can see the the original NES screen, the hacked one and the Master System original.
In other news, I started today to hack in-game GFX. It looks a lot like some old BW Game Boy title. If it's good or bad, you'll decide =)

As far as I'm concerned an extremely well done GFX hack can stand on it's own. One of my most well recieved hacks was GFX only. |

Hmm.. It sounds so cool, but I have no ASM knowledge. I am not a real ROM hacker, I just like to change graphics. I'm a ROM modifier, or a hacking fraud if you prefer
And, with seven colors, I would probably send the grayscale plan away... |

which is why it would be 7
3 colors on 2 palettes each = 6, plus the background color = 7 |

I don't know if macbee knows ASM, actually. :\
And, the amount of color used in the SMS would be too much for the NES if not converted to grayscale. (I'm sure you already knew that... but...  )
Dwedit... wouldn't it be 6? (The 1st color of a palette, afaik, is transparent.) |

If you want to be even leeter, you might be able to do some major ASM hacks and overlay sprites on top of the background to allow 7 colors total!
Tecmo did this with their bunny logo. |
