I think a samurai game would make good use of anolog sticks.
Hear me out: The left for movement of your character and the right for moving your sword.
So to slash (for example ) you move the right analog from up to down to do an over head strike. Left to right to do slash across the belly from left to right. from down left to upper right for a rising slash in those directions. you get the idea.
Nice idea, but if your moving with the left stick, and hitting with the right, how are you looking around?

yes it would be mint. it would have to not be made by an asian company to be realistic and playable probably.

if I was making it it would be a multiplayer game with battles played out like sw:battlefront where one side is feudal japan other is some other cool nation like feudal england or the vikings. it would be only pseudo-historic kind of like pvkii but more serious/mature and haz ninjas.

This is a simple fix. For your Ninja needs, I recommend the Tenchu series, and as far as Samurai go, if you can find a copy and put up with less than stellar graphics Bushido Blade II for the PS1 is a great and VERY realistic samurai game, with a broad range of weapons(including the yari which you mentioned) and a great numerous cast of unique characters. It might not be exactly what your looking for, because it only does one on one samurai duels, but I still highly recommend it.

I want a realistic Ninja and/or Samurai Game!

I want to be a stealth agent in Feudal Japan, lurking around, using poisons, Tantos and Ninjato to kill people!

I want to disarming Samurai guards, taking info from them, and make stunts and acrobatics to infiltrate a huge Japanese castle, and to escape when the alarm bell goes on!

I want to go on war with my No-Dachi, or Katana, and engage in an enormous fight scene, with much enemies around me!

I wanna be a cavalry Samurai, beheading enemies!

I wanna be a Samurai arch man, flying arrows in my enemies' necks!

I wanna be a Yari Samurai, fighting with my spear!

I wanna fight humans, not demons!

I want a game developer to study the moves of Kenjutsu and Ninjutsu, and include them in a game! Or at least throw the Prince of Persia fighting system in it!

I don't understand, why not any game developer has thought of this yet? This would be freaking cool! I don't like Onimusha! I don't want to fight a demonic Oda Nobunaga! I want to fight in an army, and not solo! And with no weird special moves, or magic sparkles!

Just sharing my thoughts :D
Only to find out ninja's and samurai's werent nearly as awesome as pop-culture made you believe.

I don't know about them from pop culture, i know about them from history and martial arts only.

Never watched anime or movies depicting them even.

Arkham Asylum is basically this, but... Ninjas don't dress up in capes and act like bats.

No one wants realistic, Dead or maimed one hit, tripping over dead bodies on uneven ground, being killed before reaching combat by arrows/cavalry fatigue.

Imagine, you fight the first guy, kill him. The second guy youre sucking air hard, your speed and reactions are down as youre worn out from fighting the first guy. By the third its just slow, desperate swings hoping to hit something. Then you move to the back of your ranks to rest for 20 minutes.

Realistic ninjas? Do you really want to play lying in a cold ditch for 12 hours listening to gossip/waiting for your target to arrive?

People always talk about realistic. Games arent. Theyre fun. Even the super realistic flight combat flight sim let you speed up time whist doing the boring travelling to/from target.

As has been said, Tenchu.

You can also try and track down "Ninja Simulator 2" for the Xbox 1080.

The base for this type of game, could very well be MOUNT & BLADE. Just need to mod it to take place in feudal japan, including the ability to go solo-ninja missions (assassination/spying etc ...)

Give the game a try.
there working on a mod for that, onin no ran

A game like mount and blade, but based on historical Japan would be cool. You could call it Way of the Horse and Bow as a nod to the initial inspiration, as well as making a reference to the earlier code of the Samurai.
that would leave most people laughing there ass off

A realistic samurai fighting game:

The two opponents stare at each other for about an hour trying to psych each other out. This is one large hour-long quicktime event with nothing happening on the screen except the button press prompts. The number of mistakes allowed depends on the difficulty of the opponent. If you make too many, you crack and charge too early only to get chopped down. If you make it to the end, both samurai charge at eachother, at which point the player has a few seconds to input a series of attacks (2-3). Depending on the attacks chosen and the success of the hour-long QTE, a winner is determined...

:p
that game would be the best!

it shouldn't look like that crap they call anime but more like the last samurai film or the ninjas in curse of the golden lotus etc.

Good luck. All the ninja games I have come across are stupid. Its always 'there was a prophecy' or 'you must fight the dragon'. All the games including unrealistic jumps, stupid attacks and you have to run around and collect weird glowing things.

Everyone else has mentioned Tenchu, but have you played one of the two Way of the Samurai games yet? They are a bit older and for the PS2, and are also short, but that's all Japan samurai gaming based off of actual history. (Though gamed up to make it interesting, of course.) The first was better than the second, in my opinion, and I believe a third is going to come out in the future for the PS3.
27 posts deep and someone fnally said it. Thank you.

Hmm...a realistic ninja game eh? So you mean a game in which there are no ninjas?

There is no history of ninjas ever actually killing anyone. Go back to your naruto weeabo.
and you assume everyone who thinks ninjas are the shit watch naruto??pleas explain this logic

Closest I got to feeling like I was playing a realistic samurai game was Way of the Samurai 2 as while you did get a few rediculous sword techniques the combat felt fairly real, granted except for the enemies that can absorb over a dozen hits before death, including impalings. Shocking really since its connected to Capcom. Game also had an almost GTA feeling to it.
