Ninja Gaiden Shadow -- Short, but really fun, game. I only got the game less than a week ago, but quickly got hooked and played through most of it several times, because the final boss is hard, and I kept leaving the SNES on overnight (playing it on Super Game Boy)... but it crashed several times, likely thanks to the touchy SGB connection, so I kept having to start over. Oh well... I quickly got pretty good at most of the game. There are only five levels, and it's only moderately difficult. There are infinite continues from the beginning of the level, and when you die you just restart the segment, or at the boss if you're there (aside from level 5, where you start at the beginning of the last segment if you die -- but the last segment isn't very hard, so that's not too bad), so it's forgiving. It was nice for the final boss to be a decent challenge, the second form was frustrating but I eventually beat it... it's just a really fun little game. Definitely try it if you can. Don't expect it to be very much like Ninja Gaiden, because it's not, but it is plenty fun, so that really doesn't matter much. :)
