2018 however, has seen not one but two hugely successful games with ninjas at the center of each. For every Ninja, Ninja Gaiden or Turtles in Time, there are a dozen or so ninja games that just aren’t worth your hard-earned cash. In the last 35 years, we’ve seen hundreds of ninja-centric gaming titles that have tried to capture the spirit of the ninja – and while some of them are iconic, most are simply forgotten. While the word shinobi appears in the written record as far back as the late 8th century it’s fair to say that American pop culture has contributed to the worldwide ninja-phenomenon on a grand scale and no more so than the in the medium of video games. The film was a box office hit, grossing over $111 million in the worldwide box office and ever since Western fascination with the ninja bloomed with ninjas appearing in television, movies, comics and everything in between. Much like the novel, the film culminated with a spectacular actions setpiece in which 007 and an army of ninjas invade the secret hideout of the mysterious SPECTRE. Three years later Roald Dahl adapted it to the big screen, with Sean Connery in the lead and Lewis Gilbert behind the camera. Back in 1964, Ian Fleming released You Only Live Twice. It was his last James Bond book before his death and featured Tiger Tanaka, an ally to Bond and the head of the Japanese secret service who sends his ninja allies to help Agent 007 attack Ernst Stavro Blofeld and his troops.
