The masters of stealth have stalked through ever medium of entertainment, sowing trickery and disruption. The shadow mercenaries known as Ninjas have appeared in a video game on almost every generation of video game consoles. If the Ninja is not the main star of the game, you can bet he is the coolest villain or supporting character in the game. Subzero, Scorpion, Grey Fox and xenophobic Kai Leng are all awe-inspiring characters that steal the show in their respective video games. Here is a list of five of the best Ninjas in video games.
5. Tenchu: Stealth Assassins: Rikimaru
Joe Musashi, the protagonist of the original series of games, was a master of the ninja arts. The second game in the serious was my favorite, where Joe faced-off against the likes of, Spider-Man, Batman, the Terminator, and even Godzilla. Although in re-releases those characters were removed due to copy right issues. The game is a traditional side-scrolling action plat former, but also features ninja magic. He had the ability to control lightning and fire, the ability to levitate and the ability to explode and destroy his enemies. He truly was master of mind, body, soul and Ninja sword.
