Mark of the Ninja comes to mind!

EDIT: For feudal or old-style Japanese themed games, Okami is a definite one for that

You'd probably have to run them via emulator, but Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru, Ninja Warriors Again, and Sengoku 3 are all pretty fun side-scrolling ninja games.

PS: I would add Nightshade for PS2, but since I just bought it myself, I don't really know if it's good or not. I hear good things, though!

The Way of the Samurai games have great feudal Japan settings, IMO. Toukiden: Kiwami gives more of the older Japanese folklore feel as does Okami.

I will also recommend Ninja Golf on the Atari 7800.  It is a lot of fun to play, and incredibly odd.

Nightshade got ripped to shreds in the reviews. But aside from some really, really bad aliasing, I thought the game was fun for a play through.

I haven't put much stock in reviews for a long while, so I'm looking forward to it. God Hand had terrible reviews as well, and it was a blast!

I can't believe no one pointed out the obvious: The Shinobi series. Starting on Sega Master System, and on multiple systems up to today.

My two personal favorites in the series are Shinobi Legions, which is on Saturn. It's a 2D action-platformer. It has Mortal Kombat-esque digitized graphics, and oh-so-awesome live-action ninja cutscenes in-between levels.

And my other favorite is Shinobi on PS2. It has super-smooth controls, and is a 3D hack-n-slash.

May not be the games you want...

But I like Izuna legend of the unenployed ninja and Izuna 2 for the DS, I think they take place in feudal japan.

Also, the Goemon games.  Legend of the mystical ninja (SNES), Goemon's Great adventure and Mystical Ninja starring Gonbare Goemon (N64)
