This is HILARIOUS!!!
The only people who are getting trolled are the one's who think this will make any kind of difference to a game that is not fit to hold the Ninja Gaiden name.
They can add whatever new weapons, controls or even moves they want it wont save the game from being a poor game at it's core. You can polish a turd all you want but at the end of the day it still smells like shit.

more like they trolled themselves, with the poor commercial reception of the game
what was their excuse for removing dismemberment? it was something funny iirc.
Something about dismemberment making the game feel like a game and not serious enough...I don't know...I like hats

You can get a glimpse at how the new dismemberment system looks.

This is kinda like Frankenstein, after the body died you try to revive it with a bunch of shit and sell it good as new.
It's a shit game that might be somewhat less shittier. A 5/10 instead of a 3/10. Wheeeee.

Shit, that's just about everything people were complaining about right there. Might as well sell my unfinished 360 copy and wait for a Wii U version.

I am so sorry. I rented this game for a couple bucks from Blockbuster and I felt pissed off.

1) the story. One of the main guys from Team Ninja that Itagaki didn't take with him, and no surprise.
1a) You can't really have guys who were trying to kill Ryu just seconds ago beg for their lives and have the player feel bad for them.
1b) Ryu, the most badass ninja ever, is saved by other characters probably five times in cutscenes in different chapters.
2) Kunai wall climb.
3) The Steel on Bone system means you play a short little mash QTE to kill nearly every enemy. This is awful. It meets the stated goal of giving the player the sensation of cutting through flesh and bone, but in a Ninja Gaiden game about cutting through vast swathes of difficult enemies, it just sucks. It totally destroys flow. Maybe Team Ninja Dog will just get rid of SoB.
4) What is with Ryu's cursed arm? Some times it flares up and then Ryu goes into a staggering state where he can't run, roll, jump -- and the enemies get way easier.
5) The longbow auto-aims to a ridiculous degree.
Fixable stuff that should never have been broken in the first place:
a) Ninja enemies should never have bare arms. This is a basic character design issue: you want Ryu to look different from all the NPCs on screen.
b) prompts: you need a middle ground between "show prompts all the time" and "never show any prompts ever". For example, any time a completely new QTE type shows up, those should be prompted even if basic prompts ("press X and Y in combat", "wallrun here") are turned off.
c) it is OK to pull the camera back enough to show Ryu's entire body even during a cool move. In fact, especially during a cool move.
d) UT charge time shouldn't be so short. I was doing the instant charge techniques until I realized that they shortened non-instant charge times so there's almost no point to doing instant charges.
e) Casting Ninpo on a nearly empty room is actually far worse than casting it on a full room: the latter completely refills your health. In other words, you get rewarded for pushing the 'get me out of this' button.
f) that ship segment is way too long.
g) Easy mode is called "Hero" instead of "Ninja Dog", and you pretty much cannot lose in this mode. Once Ryu gets down to 50% health in Hero mode, he auto-dodges/auto-blocks everything. It even cancels uncancellable moves.

Odd though... how would dismemberment (and obliteration?) fit with steel on bone?
Could they actually be ripping out SOB?

Everything unfixable mentioned like like it can be remedied by being removed or greatly reduced, except for story mode. They removed every puzzle/platforming section from NG2 to S2. So it's not like they haven't made drastic changes before.
More like once you finish SoB, instead of just staggering wounded, the enemy is dismembered/missing a limb. Or they'll just throw it into the OTs.

Or Sigma. I'm not sure why people are shocked at the double-dip/changes, this has been a constant in the series.
Hopefully it makes the game better and offers some redemption somehow.

Ninja Gaiden 3 should have been the easiest game in the world to make. Take Ninja Gaiden 2's fucking amazing combat system and copy/paste it into a more polished game. And then get rid of the enemies that crawl around on the floor and grab you and bring back the health system from Ninja Gaiden 1. Team Ninja Dog has no idea how to make games. At least, the Ninja Gaiden half of Team Ninja Dog.

Because the previous changes were tweaking an already solid game (NGB) or adding lots of stuff to solid games (the Sigmas). These changes are adding things that never should have been removed from the franchise like multiple weapons, multiple ninpo, upgradeable weapons, and dismemberment instead of SoB.

They trolled themselves, not us. They have to live the financial consequences that is the abomimation called Ninja Gaiden 3.

Only if that controller had a W button and a H button.
I have a feeling that such a thing may have happened, considering how heavy the complaints were from the start.
Or perhaps they realized their idiotic decisions ruined the game, and nobody would ever buy a port of a game with the same problems.

I had to reread it to be sure, but yeah, nothing at all.
Just a few more worthless additions to a bad game.

You're a bit misinformed there, bro. Masato Kato is a freelance writer. He's worked on plenty of awesome shit. Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears.
Yeah they fixed some stuff from NG2, but made a other stuff worse. Hayashi is one of the most incompetent devs around. He has failed every time to improve on a former product(even if they only needed minor fixes), in some cases he made them a lot worse.
edit:Though someone else might be leading this project.
Well played.
