What are your favorite ninjas in videogames?
For me, Rikimaru from Tenchu franchise, and Solid Snake (He doesn't use shurikens or kunais, but I consider him a ninja) from... well, you know.

Not a lot of ninjas in PC games really. I'll have to reach back to my console days and say Shadow from Final Fantasy VI on the SNES. The music that accompanied him was freaking amazing, as was all the music in that game.

The TF2 Demo-rai.

But Taleroth, that's not a ninja. That's a black Scottish samurai!

Well, imaginary respondent, you haven't seen how I play him.

The Last Ninja

I don't like ninjas.

Nothing for Joe Musashi? Star of the Shinobi games? Jeez. There is also Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden. Kage Maru from Virtua Fighter, Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yuffie Kisaragi from Final Fantasy VII, Ginjirou from Guardian Heroes, Sub-Zero & Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, Guy from Final Fight & Street Fighter, Ibuki also from Street Fighter, Taki from Soul Edge/Calibur.... hell there are a lot of Ninja's in games.

Because you're a pirate?

No, it's because he's a Zombie what like those ones in that pirate movie.

There must have been a teenage mutant hero turtles game...

Haha, wasnt really a question but made me laugh

I think you're confusing ninjas with plants.

Him ! That sneaky bastard always ninja'd my loots !

Joe Musashi in Super Shinobi 2 (3).
Ryu Hayabusa in Ninja Gaiden Trilogy
Hagane in Hagane (I think the Ninja's name was that)
Scorpion and SubZero from any MK.

Am I the only one who thought Strider Hiryu made for a good ninja?

Honourable mentions go to N from the game N, though there must be some pirate in him, considering his gold craving.

also on the theme, an overlooked but rather good ninja themed game with a ninja, a grappling hook, and colour changes changing what part of the level is safe and which is not, recommended for platform gamers who like a challenge:
