Ninja Apocalypse: Gamer Grail

[Abishai100]

A ninja (忍者?) or shinobi (忍び?) was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare (source of information: Wikipedia).

Ninjas have been portrayed in modern times in films and video games, perhaps because the modern world is fascinated by networking stealth (e.g., The Wolf of Wall Street) and infiltration agility (e.g., cyber-warfare).

There are multiple ninja-themed video games of which Ninja Gaiden is most likely the most esteemed.

However, with the developed graphics-interface offered by the newest PS and XBox systems, it would be an opportunistic time to propose more ninja-themed video games involving ninja warriors engaged in a modern urban setting (complete with car explosions, maniac cops, ninjas with pistols, and big city bosses).

This thread is meant to propose ninja-themed video game ideas/thematics to offer complements/rivals to the Ninja Gaiden video game franchise.

I came up with 2 ideas:

1. A ninja from the East travels to 2001 Los Angeles to tackle the Yakuza during a riot

2. An American ninja travels to Hong Kong in 2001 to infiltrate a police corruption conspiracy


May the 'only man' win...
