10 WORST Video Game Weapons

10. The Wooden Sword - Ninja Gaiden: Black

At the bottom of the list due to the investment you put into it ultimately being worth it, but that's a long way off to forcing yourself to use one of the weakest swords in gaming history.

The wooden sword is exactly what it says on the tin. In a game filled with comedically overpowered enemies with insane weapons coming at you from all sides, this game gives you the option to combat them with a tiny little wooden training sword. Now, the plus side to it is that it has more upgrade slots than any other weapon in the game, and of course, once you upgrade it completely, it becomes one of the best weapons in the entire series, The Unlabored Flawlessness.

This hits like a dump truck under normal conditions, but when you allow yourself to be worn down to little to no health, it then hits like approximately 17 freight trains. Making for a fantastic risk and reward system that can make the final boss an utter joke if you know how to use it.

But in typical Ninja Gaiden fashion, you of course have to REALLY work for the privilege of using this weapon, and have to put up with one of the weakest melee weapons ever made in a video game where having weak weapons is met with SEVERE punishment.
