CARTOON SNEAKY NINJA PORTABLE

YouTube channel FailArmy normally compiles fail videos from around the Internet, but in this video where they add their own fail ninja, the laughs rise to comedy gold. ▼ The ninja strikes a victory pose, just to make sure you know this wasn’t the work of Street Fighter’s Chun-Li.

When they attack, it is usually with deadly consequences, which is why it’s so amusing to see them “cause” human clumsiness. They carefully sneak through the darkness, attack, and then retreat like they were never there in the first place. Ninjas are Japan’s master spies and their exploits are legendary and mythical. Don’t take our word for it though see the video after the jump! And, as a bonus, if the rice ball is uneaten, you could pocket it afterwards and perform the deadly bait-and-switch again down the road.Watching people fall unexpectedly is our guilty little pleasure, so what could possibly make it better? How about Japan’s legendary assassins popping in at opportune moments to cause such falls? Face plants are great, but when they are caused by a ninja they become a lot funnier.

There’s no rush to sneak up behind and deliver the death blow. A simple toss within an enemy’s eyeshot and they would slowly stroll over and bend down to retrieve the onigiri, oblivious to anything else happening around them. In fact, the innocuous ball of toxic rice was one of the most practical in your arsenal, after the grappling hook.

However, it was entirely possible to earn a Grand Master ranking with only the standard alloted accoutrements: the ever-handy grappling hook, healing potion, shuriken (throwing stars), portable landmines and poisoned rice.

A couple of these juicy treats really added some pep to your killing spree. Out of the potential five rankings (Thug, Novice, Ninja, Master Ninja and Grand Master), only achieving the Grand Master rank would unlock a new ninja item. The level ranking system basically hinged on these clandestine attacks, especially when each victim received a cutscene death straight out of ninja flick. While both Tenchu and Metal Gear Solid incorporated it, only Tenchu wrapped its entire 3D gaming mechanics around it. I distinctly remember sitting next to my brother and wanting to live in this kind of Japan, but perhaps with a little less throat-slitting. There is no rest until Princess Kiku is safe and my Lord Gohda’s house is secure again. Corrupt finance ministers, Spanish pirates, deranged cult members and demonic warriors are all cut down indiscrimiantly by my katana blade. Paper-thin shoji doors lead the way into tatami-floored rooms where friend or foes await-but mostly foes. Later, in another mission, pure white snow falls gently to the ground next to crimson pools of blood from a castle guard. After silently grappling onto one of the many hanging eaves, my padded feet race across the footsteps with steely resolve. Blossoming sakura trees line the courtyards of imposing midieval castles. Each time I took up the controller to play, the confines of my North Carolina living room dissolved into the midnight of a mystical land. With Tenchu, never before had such a sweeping depiction of Sengoku-era Japan been experienced on a gaming console.
