* ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' portrays him as a [[Ax Crazy|psychotic,]] [[Too Kinky to Torture|sado-masochistic]] vassal of [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|The Devil King Nobunaga]], wielding two [[Sinister Scythe|scythes]] in battle, basically [[Obviously Evil|a full-fledged villain]] second only to Nobunaga himself. He reappears in the third title as Tenkai Nankobo, [[Evil Chancellor|'serving']] Hideaki and [[Paper -Thin Disguise|sporting a mouth-concealing mask to hide his identity]] attempting to resurrect his dead master Oda Nobunaga so [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|that he can kill him]]. Only Oichi recognizes him and Motonari hints when fighting him that he also knows who he really is.
** {{spoiler|It should be pointed out that the two people mentioned are the only ones who recognise him. Even when he succeeds in resurrecting Nobunaga, Nobunaga claims not to know who he is at all.}}
** Ironically, while Mitsuhide does have an ending where he kills Nobunaga in the previous game, canonically he does not.
* [[Capcom]] did also give him a better role in ''[[Onimusha]] 3'', where he gets a cameo (and despite being voiced by [[Norio Wakamoto]] [[Playing Against Type|of all people]]). He becomes playable in one of the games too.
* ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'' series opted for the "hero" Mitsuhide, who can be seen as a [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] who eventually becomes disgusted by Nobunaga's behaviour and decides to finish him off.
** He's back for another villainous role in ''[[Kessen]] III'' (by Koei, the same guys behind ''[[Samurai Warriors]]''), but only because they decided to make Nobunaga a real sympathetic main protagonist. And even then, he wasn't as over-the-top as the ''Basara'' version.
* Mitsuhide appears in a villainous role in the Japanese scenario of ''[[Age of Empires II (Video Game)|Age of Empires II]] Conqueros''.
