NINJA GAMES!!1!

[MrChester]

Post some ninja or ninja adjacent games. Stealth? Crazy high octane action? Ninjutsu magic? Whatever! It's all par for the course.

Here's mine:

Shinobi - 2002 - PS2 (awesome game btw)

And post some pics too! None of you boring ass "I'll just copy-paste the wikipedia list" mfers better show up

 

[PSVitaForever]

Two awesome stealth titles I've played (but no ninja, are they ok as ninja-adjacent?) on PSVita:

Assassin's Creed Chronicles (got the gold trophies for doing it all stealthy), the first story in set in China but it still give oriental vibes even if not ninja

Volume, high-tech thief who acts like Robin Hood, with lots of tools to distract enemies, very original graphics and many levels to conquer.

Just featured one of the trilogy on my article.

Cyber Shadow is pretty cool!

 

[Soma_Shotgun]

Very well designed 2D stealth game that incentivizes completing the levels without being detected at all and killing anyone. You can be quite creative with your stealth and the levels always throw in fun new mechanics. The year it came out pretty much everyone said it's the best indie game of that year but nowadays people have forgotten about Mark of the Ninja.

Probably too boring and obvious answer but
Itagaki's Ninja Gaiden are one of the best ninja games ever made

I'm looking at the person on the left like "Chakram... pretty ninja to me", person in the middle "Kunai on chain - ninja as hell"... man, the whiplash I felt when I saw the dude on the right is just chillin with a fuckin mosin-nagant

wow i never knew the ninja gaiden series got re-released on this console
i should put this on my to-do list

Never forget this man, for he is a legend.

 

[PSVitaForever]

One more (I played it on Switch but on this one I haven't been so good with stealth), I guess this title fits better with the ninja them of the topic.

Aragami: its gameplay makes use of shadows in which you can teleport your character while zipping from a point to another to take advantage on enemies

amusingly i remember trying these games and being disappointed they were not as good as the original nintendo trilogy of ninja gaiden titles
i have heard that the re-releases of the 3d ninja gaiden titles decreased their quality, so maybe someday if i finally get an xbox console i can play the original black title

 

[soulsas]

Goemon!

 

[Numubunde]

I had a demo for this game on my PS2 and I thought it was pretty cool!

Maybe a bit of a stretch but Metal Gear Rising is also pretty cool!

Sigma is still fine, there is few bad changes like purple blood and much less gore in NG2, both can be fixed on pc with mods
There is more questionable changes but additional content like playable Rachel, Ayane and Momiji is nice though
Overall it still almost same game

1) I played I-Ninja a bunch as a kid - neat game. Honestly surprised to see it mentioned
2) MGR absolutely counts. My guy literally has a move called "ninja run"

You know I never played much NES Gaiden prior to the 3D ones but even I was super disappointed with the 3D ones (or at least Sigma 2 and 3 Razor). Idek how to explain my dissatisfaction but something just always felt really mechanically off with those games to me

Ninja Warriors Once Again AND Strider 2? You got some serious taste, my dude!

 

[X y b e r - S k u ll]

This is a good one:

Remake of an old Natsume NES game from 1990 of the same name. One of the few cases I can think of where the original team was brought back together to remake their own game. Very challenging and has a bit of a learning curve, but I'd recommend it if you get the chance.

This whole thread is fire, I love ninjas.
But you are forgetting the most obvious choice:

 

[solnK!]

They already said it but Shinobi and Kunoichi/Nightshade on PS2 are really good, you won´t regret.
