Shingen the Ruler
Also known as: Takeda Shingen 2 (JP) Developer: Another Publisher: HOT-B Platform: NES Released in JP: August 21, 1989 Released in US: June 1990 This game has a hidden sound test.

Sound Test

Both the Japanese and US versions contain a sound test. To trigger it, hold Start + Select (for the Japanese version) or A + B (for the US version) and reset the game. As soon as it boots up, release the buttons and hold A + B + Right on controller 2. If done correctly, the sound test should appear after the Hot-B logo.

Easter Egg

After the ending sequence is over and kanji "END" is displayed on the screen, press and hold A + B + Select + Start on controller 1 and A + B on controller 2 at the same time. The small chibi warrior will appear at the center of the screen. From now you can only reset the console.

There is a cheat to access the ending sequence. It can be triggered the same way as the Sound Test cheat (using according button code for the US or the Japanese version), but instead of pressing A + B + Right after boot up on the HOT-B logo, press Left + Right + A on controller 2.
