There's only so much you can do to dress up five old games, but SNK Playmore has done a fair job in adding extras, making sure the whole package runs well and presenting the content nicely. IGN would recommend this compilation to almost any fighting game enthusiast looking for some nostalgia-inducing fun, but the King of Fighters games aren't for everyone. That said, Orochi Saga felt right and IGN enjoyed revisiting some classic fighters.

Many videogame characters are often thought of as ninjas, regardless of their backstory and the martial arts training it entails. Whittling down the list to those which are actually considered to have studied the art of ninjitsu by their creators, and a few stars bite the dust early on. What you’re left with however, are a distilled series of heroes, villains, middlemen and, in the case of two characters that made it to the final ten listed below, just plain weirdoes.
She's awesome. Great costume, great moves.
Also, as far as DOA goes, apart from Ryu (who's obviously nr. 1), I always considered Ayane as my favourite ninja out of the bunch. Kasumi is more of a pin-up teen-idol kinda ninja, but Ayana has the perfect look and attitude.
He is a Lin Kuei. Says so himself that he isn't a ninja in Shaolin Monks.
Darn it now I want a sequel. I love this franchise

"The Wii has never gotten much respect from hardcore gamers. The console's motion controls are often scoffed at as is the large library of casual and family-friendly titles. An extremely large selection of what many would consider to be shovelware hasn't helped things much, either. And while most of that lack of hardcore enthusiasm is well earned, Nintendo's motion-controlled console has scored some decent fighting titles -- some of which have been Wii exclusives. Let's take a look at the ten best on the system to date:"
Dbz is better in my opinion the TOL.
Naruto CONR2 should be on the list because 3 is why better because of online story etc.
TVC look better than punch out.
you guy can disagree but these are just my thought
DBZ should totally be at the rear-end of this list along with any and all Naruto titles. Just my thought.
All 3 Naruto Clash of the Ninja Games Heck 3 Has Online Play and it is not on the list.
50 percent of these games are garbage! Soul Caliber: Legends? Seriously? SSBB is incredible though.
