...this dojo.

Behold, the hardest video game ninjas of all time. Except for the crap cutesy platform character. And the obligatory hawt ninja babes.

I was going for a bright-eyed Your Sinclair vibe with this piece. I'm not sure that I succeeded. Anyway, a bonus point to whoever can name which game the first pic belongs to.

I'll have a look now, but you might want to adjust your link to point to page 1 instead of 5

I've got a feeling that it's the front cover of the box for The Last Ninja on the Amiga, which was The Last Ninja 2, but just called The Last Ninja Remix.

Correct, except Ninja Remix was a remake of The Last Ninja, not The Last Ninja 2. No bonus points for you.

I always thought of Raikoh from Otogi as a Ninja, but the internet classes him as a Warrior.

Also: No Ninja Blade? The guy can surf on missiles fercrisakes!

A ninja who relies on QTEs to defeat bosses? Not in my frickin' dojo.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Oct 14, 2009 16:04

A ninja who adds a play mechanic to cut scenes? Yes prease!

sinister agent · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 7046

I still think the best ninja is Contemplating Ninja. Basically, play Ninja Garden and leave the bloke facing a wall, his back to the camera. He will stand motionless,contemplating the futility of life, until the end of time itself. It is really quite beautiful.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Oct 14, 2009 16:55

Where the fucking fuck is Yoshimitsu?

I read that as Ninja Garden Leave, the flop follow-up where Hyabusa is made redundant.

Yoshi isn't a ninja.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Oct 14, 2009 17:05

The internets verdict is split on Yoshi.

For the sake of me being right though, he is.

The follow-up to Viva Pinata was criticised for its new direction.

Yoshimitsu squeals and shrieks and fgihts in bright pink with a flag. Worst ninja ever.

What about the ninja in Body Blows? He even shouts 'Ninjaaaaaa!' before the sword roll special move thingy.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Wed Oct 14, 2009 18:06

The last ninja was good at one thing only: Walking off platforms backwards.

Wha? No Second Samurai?!

Clicked around on the site that did this list, did anybody spot the 'Most Over-rated Games of 2008' list by them?

This about MGS4 - seem familiar?

Quote:

As one particularly disgruntled gaming veteran put it: “There are things worse than death, and that includes wading through nine hours of wannabe-Z-movie cutscenes of dribbling nonsense written by an overindulged Japanese scifi nerd for the occasional brief snippet of video game.”

The quote links to WoS with a big picture of Stu. Tcha. We need a big pic of Sinister Agent, if only to stop me imagining him as a small boy being thrashed with a school ruler like in some Barry Hines novel or Ken Loach film.

I thought we had a copy of that on THE SITE. I can't even find it on the forum now.

[edit]That's because Sinister didn't actually write that bit.

Umm.... yeah... YEAH. There was a ninja in Second Samurai, he followed your main dude round and did half the killing himself against baddies just off screen. You just didn't see him because... uh, he was like a l33t ninja, yeah, that's it. It's not at all due to me being a bit tired from late nights, oh no.

Craster, I'm still waiting for your apology.

Yoshi's not a ninja, he's wearing armour, you penis!

No reason a ninja wouldn't wear armour.

Ninjas can wear what they want, act how they want. It's about the kill not the honor code.

How is he covert? He fights in tournaments, FFS!

Also, pink kecks!

Taki fights in the same frigging tournament, wears bright colours and she's a ninja.

You WILL back down and you WILL apologise!

Yoshimitsu (吉光?) makes his first appearance in 1994's Tekken. He is a descendant of a character in the Soul series. In the game's story, Yoshimitsu enters the first tournament as a decoy, so that other members of the Manji Party can steal the tournament's funds unobserved.

Taki isn't a ninja. She's a flotation device.

Zardoz is blatantly correct. Yoshimitsu IS a ninja.

Samurai. Samurai armour, samurai sword, and he's pretty much doing Kendo, FFS.

But thats the point... a ninja can wear anything he or she wants, and use any weapons he or she wants.

Ninja's didn't really wear Kabuki theatre stagehand outfits, you know.
