Yeah. They've tried to make reptile embody his name while also still keeping the OG Ninja themes and it just hasn't worked out well. Ermac and Smoke have gone through some interesting evolution as well, but I like their latest forms.

I like the more animalistic take, but I do think the face could use a few changes. Right now he looks a bit avian.
I like Hayabusa's design in the Team Ninja NG games.
Master Raven and Raven from Tekken are cool.
Say what you will about 3D Mortal Kombat, but Deadly Alliance had my favorite Scorpion design.

Ayame and Tatsumaru from Tenchu 2, specifically. My all time fav is probably Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden 1 (Xbox) and NG2 (Xbox 360). He has that beautiful charisma and stage persence where silence speaks louder than words.
Kagero was one of my most used units in FE Birthright
Also Hyrule Warriors Impa
Like, damn. Easily the coolest Impa.

Sasuke the Clockwork Ninja, from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.
The only thing cooler than a ninja is a mechanical ninja.

Absolutely a ninja. "Cyborg ninja" is a core motif of Metal Gear.Is he considered a ninja or samurai?

Definitely cyber ninja.Is he considered a ninja or samurai?
Hotsuma from Shinobi PS2, followed by Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden revival series, then Sub-Zero, then Kage from VF.
Personal favorite is Sasuke from Goemon.
Minimal but I just love the art style of those games a lot.
How could I forget him.
Yeah I'd have to agree with this.Gray Fox from the Metal Gear series.
Because it looks cool when it trails behind them as they run and leap and do ninja things.
To contribute to the thread:
I love all of these with Joe Musashi being my favourite.
Shinobi PS2
Others don't even need to apply. The red scarf is I C O N I C.
Gray Fox from the Metal Gear series.
Joe Musashi from Shinobi. Definitely like the white and red design; reminds me of Storm Shadow.
Mortal Kombat ninjas. They are iconic to me and I remember them from a very early age. Sub-Zero has always been my favorite.
Rikimaru from Tenchu for looking down to earth and practical yet still distinct and recognizable.
Is he considered a ninja or samurai?

I have many favs, but Saizo from Fire Emblem Fates is definitely a top contender.
Definitely a cool Ninja. I never played Fates but he's great in Fire Emblem Heroes.
Hotsuma, Watari, and Saizo all mentioned... good, goooood.
I have a particular soft spot for Kaze from Fire Emblem: Fates. Not often a ninja can pull off a circlet and a green color scheme, but this guy somehow does, and still looks like a ninja doing so.

That's my vote.
Runners up are SamSho's Hattori Hanzo and Agent of Mayhem's Scheherazade. Elegance and simplicity in design should be a trademark ninja trait.

Oh hell yes
Because it looks badass flowing behind you when you're air dashing through fools and cutting them in half
Of course it's...
Yoshimitsu, Tekken 2
...of course.
Been waiting too damn long for Namco to give it some modern love as an alt or customization items... FFS!

The Way of the N
(The N Game)
I recall this game being one of the very few games that wasn't blocked on school computers, so we'd play it a lot.
The animation of the figure sells the 'ninja-ness'. It plays great, very polished game.
I also recall playing the DS game a whole lot. It seemed to have a high skill ceiling thanks to the time limitation mechanic.

I've always liked Hattori Hanzo from Samurai Showdown.
I came in here to post this, btw ;)Sekiro, just because of how fucking subdued and grounded it looks compared to alot of others, and because he's actually wearing (light) armor

From movies, it's hands-down this:
Sho Kosugi got me into Ninja culture and inspired this:
Sho Kosugi is the real life Joe Musashi.
