But seriously, there are sources(QC also looked into it) that suggest Strider is a ninja.

Kouichi Yotsui said it was he who "pushed for a ninja concept" as they were leaning towards an action game, a ninja setting would've been convenient. "The hero would be derived from a ninja. We loosely decided on that.

Dragon Warrior and Ninja Warriors are the only ones I’ve actually played in the arcade… many, many moons ago in Sunny Hunny.
I had Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja on the NES, but to be honest I really can’t recall the game itself. Ninja Spirit on the PC Engine is absolute quality, I’d really like to go back to it. Ninja Commando is good fun too, really enjoyed it on Neo CD.

It's quite a clunky version of the game. Double Dragon 2 and the Ninja Gaiden games are better.

I haven't played all of them but I will choose
1. Strider
2. Dragon Ninja Vs Bad Dudes!
3. Shadow Warriors
Strider is slightly ahead of all of them (+ most games), on style and execution but Dragon Ninja is really solid and plays very well. Anyone else get annoyed by the overloud voice samples in Dragon Ninja though? I like the samples but just too loud compared to the music.
Shadow Warriors has a slower/less responsive feel to it than the other two but is still great fun especially the way you can swing from the scenery to attack bad guys

Strider 2 for the PlayStation was certainly a very good sequel. I haven't played it for quite a while, so I'll try to install it on the PlayStation Classic I recently bought.

Yeah, the sfx are a bit too loud, but that aspect did impress me back in the day.
