GAF ive been on a Ninja kick lately. I think Ni-Oh has awakened something in me and now all I want to do is find games where I can live out my ninja fantasies. I want this thread to be discussion on games, both old and new, any genre or console (including mobile) that allow me to play as or with or centers around Ninjas and ninjutsu.

 

[Kurt Angle]

Ninja Gaiden Black

 

[raven777]

Tenchu and Ninja Gaiden

 

[sixteen-bit]

Ninja Gaiden Black

And vanilla NG2

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

Mark of the Ninja

 

[Pinko Marx]

Ninja Gaiden Black

Idk why this wasn't the first game that came to mind. It's one of my all time faves and, in this humble man's opinion, the best action game of all time.

 

[Outrun]

Revenge of Shinobi

The enemies that you face, along with the music, will make you feel like a bad ass.

 

[PMS341]

Ninja Gaiden Black.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance counts, imo.

 

[cheesekao]

Shinobi for PS2

 

[Monocle]

Metal Gear Rising, duh. Best ninja, best soundtrack.

Spoiler

Raiden is totally a ninja, shut up.

Also, loads of people are going to mention Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden series, so let me just balance things out by adding Shinobi 3 and Shinobi (PS2). The latter is an overlooked gem. Not as deep or flashy as Tecmo's NGs, but as challenging and rewarding as any old school game.

 

[low-G]

Mystical Ninja series is fun.

Weird pick: I loved just about everything in the NintendoLand ninja game.

In VR, I know there's Holopoint and some smaller games, but there should be more ninja games. I should be throwing virtual ninja stars and shit.

(Lots of great call outs in thread already)

 

[MegaSackman]

Mark of the Ninja.

 

[Chance]

Tenchu
Mark of the Ninja

If it ain't stealth, it ain't a ninja. I'm lookin' at you, Naruto!

 

[dlauv]

Metal Gear Rising, duh. Best ninja, best soundtrack.

Spoiler

Raiden is totally a ninja, shut up.

Seconded. Also it's the best Ninja Gaiden game.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Shinobi for PS2

We need a remaster bundled with Kunoichi.
At least give us a PS4 version.

 

[Card Boy]

Tenchu 1+2
Mark of the Ninja
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Mark of the Ninja

Yep. Best ever.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

NES ninja gaiden I and II.

 

[Outrun]

Last Ninja for the Amiga.

That game was ahead of its time.

 

[mindsale]

Turtles in Time, for sure

 

[RadarScope1]

Mark of the Ninja

You're goddamn right. Came in to post this. This game is absolutely stellar.

 

[jonjonaug]

Ninja Gaiden Black and Mark of the Ninja

[Psychoward]

Mark of the Ninja is great yeah

For Honor's got a ninja character coming

10 Second Ninja is free on PS+ right now and it seems solid, hard as balls though

 

[Giftofgab24]

Tenchu has been my favorite since Tenchu: Stealth Assassins.

 

[Renekton]

Which is better: Black or Sigma?

 

[BIGWORM]

My all-time favorite:

 

[ForkNetwork]

Mark of the Ninja

No competition.

 

[pa22word]

 

[Eggbok]

Which is better: Black or Sigma?

Black but Sigmas are good too. Sigma is just easier and toned down.

 

[Strangelove77]

Best ninja game of all time.

 

[pa22word]

Shinobi 3D

Best 2D platformer on the 3DS by fucking far. Absolutely love this game. Amazing OST too, from an MGS composer to boot.

[Dubz]

Ninja Gaiden Black

First post nails it. This is the best Ninja game of all time. There is no equal.

EDiT: I would pay $100 for a PC port. Do it, devs and publishers!

 

[Firebrand]

Zool.

Spoiler

No.

 

[DJMicLuv]

Another vote for Mark of The Ninja.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Ninja Gaiden Black is literally hack and slash perfection.

 

[boon]

Ninja Five-O on GBA holds up really well. Great combat and grapple mechanics. It's kind of short, but definitely one of my favorites.

 

[1upsuper]

Shinobi series
Ninja Gaiden series (NES)

Super Robot Ninja Haggleman series
