An early Genesis side-scroller (or action-platformer if you prefer) with projectile attacks, clever mechanics, ninjas and lots of dark night skies and decrepit buildings, developed by Cyclone Systems (Wurm, Genesis Cadash). Also features 2-player simultaneous play, which is rare in the genre. www.hardcoregaming101.net/shadow-blasters/

Mystic Defender, The Revenge of Shinobi, Shadow Blaster, Jewel Master, Shadow Dancer - not a bad line up (relatively) early in the Genesis/Megadrive lifespan.

It's too bad that specific kind of side-scroller, projectile-based and non-cutesy / outright dark, basically disappeared after the Gen's first few years. Off the top, the only one I can think of in the Genesis' later years is Shinobi 3. I'm a fan of literally each of the other games you mentioned.

You can throw Strider, Cadash, Blades of Vengeance, and Second Samurai in there too.
