Making a computer game set in Feudal Japan - good location?

For an upcoming school project, I plan on making a sidescrolling action game in which you play as a Samarai. Unfortunately, I suck at history. Do any of you history buffs know of any good battles or wars fought in Feudal Japan that would be a cool subject for a computer game?Making a computer game set in Feudal Japan - good location?
Historically, you'd want to focus on Sekigahara. But since Sekigahara is now a populated city, actual footage for such battles is often filmed on standing sets, studio sets or foreign countries such as Alberta, Canada (Heaven and Earth) or New Zealand (The Last Samurai).



Check out Sekigahara 1600 by Anthony Bryant for starters. It's available on Amazon.Making a computer game set in Feudal Japan - good location?

Most recommended:

Follow the story of Shinsen-gumi

Shinsen-gumi was the shogunate special guards formed at the end of Edo period to fight against anti-Shogunate samurais.

A lot of interesting, small scale battles that seem to fit into a sidescrolling.

(Samurai untouchable, or Samurai FBI, if you will, though very small scale. And their battles are more like OK corral style, not huge scale war battles.)

also Musashi would be good choice since now his life is told in a famous manga series:
