I am actually pretty interested in getting this, probably gonna pick it up pretty soon after launch provided the reviews aren't too bad.

This one's definitely on my radar. If the impressions are good enough, I'll consider picking it up.

Will probably grab it. Not like there's lots of choice on Wii U right now.

Never played vanilla, the trailers for RE have me hyped. Disappointed it's not at PAL launch, but I guess this way we have you all as guinea pigs.

I want to see how much of an improvement this is before I think about buying it. The demo of the original NG3 was absolutely horrid.
If the reviews and impressions are great, I'll definitely play through the series for the first time in preparation.

Sigma for PlayStation I guess.

Saving that for the PS3/360 re-release
Here's to hoping this game isn't (ninja)dog shit like vanilla
I don't know exactly how this helps my understanding.
This just makes me more confused.
Online co-op is definitely in.
No, I mean the Shadow of The World online component. With the create a ninja system with competitive multiplayer. Is that still in?

I played all the way through a copy of NG3 on 360. My takeaway: regardless of how it compared to previous entries, it was a competent action brawler with a good set piece, boss, or sequence every so often. The biggest thing that hurt it was the simplicity of the combat and its repetitiveness, as the QTE/Steel on Bone system was both boring and difficult to use correctly in order to clear groups of enemies in a reasonable time frame.
Simply replacing the combat system with NGII style enemy patterns and decapitation / dismemberment may mix up combat a great deal. Just how much better this is, may depend on whether they've adjusted the layout of certain stages and how much the enemy placement and combinations are changed.
I'm willing to give it a shot after reading some hands on impressions with the retail version.

Probably because Nintendo is working on it, and in this case they and team ninja are fixing Hayashit's work rather than letting him muck up the original game.
Will this be available for download in the US/EU as well as in Japan?
Pretty much what I'm waiting on. Part of me hopes it turns out awful just so I don't have buy yet another game...but I guess I'll do what I gotta do it turns out well.

From what I've been seeing on twitter this game is gonna bomb review-wise, as expected. I'm probably still going to try it since they put effort into it.
Edit: Oh the Pikachu with a gun is back!

Pretty much the only launch game I'm interested in. I'd like to do more on Wii U than play Wii games until Rayman and W101 are out so I need this to not suck.
Welp...
Welp...
It's published by Nintendo, so I assume that would be a yes.

I hope this is improved over the 360/PS3 version. I'll definitely get if it is when I get a Wii U.

I remember this from OBAMA 08 but it makes not sense here and take the thread into a strange direction. Can't say I am in love with this OT for a game I plan to purchase lol
The game is pretty much broken at its core, so it's not surprising that it still sucks even after they have put all this work into the new edition.

I feel this well be the first time I have a backlog of games to play in a long time.
I wanted to wait for reviews for this but maybe it will end up one of my day 1 DD titles
also want to know who the DLC playables are

So which one is this?
bad game is bad forever
I can't think of a single truly bad game that was fixed by a port. There are good games with bad ports. There are bad games with bad ports and there are good games with ports that are even better. There were a bunch of ok arcade games in the NES era that have for whatever reason amazing home console versions...though sometimes those are radically different games.
But a bad game turning good? Pretty sure that has yet to happen.

That's why this is so fascinating to watch. Would they REALLY turn this into a good game? Or is it just polishing a turd?

Gameplay might get some points up, but everything will probably remain the same.

The bad version was the one you got. I get the delayed version.
They're trying to put band-aids on bullet wounds here. I'm not expecting much.
Yeah, might happen eventually. Don't think it will with this game.
I'd love to be wrong, but vanilla NG3 is one of the worst action games I've ever played.
The OP is magnificent. Perfectly captures the odd blend of optimistic cynicism this game deserves.
If Razor's Edge has Ninja Gaiden 2 combat and tolerable level design, I'm in. Having played the vanilla demo, I'm not sure what issues it has that can't be fixed. I don't need this game to be better than the action gaming Nirvana that was Ninja Gaiden 2; I just need it to be comparable. This genre is so starved of titles, copy-pasting Itagaki's work into a new set of generic levels will still be more exciting than anything else I play before MGR.

I really, really, really hope this game turns out well. I have to think that Nintendo wouldn't be willing to publish it if it was in the bad state the previous version seemed to be in going by how people talk about it. The launch trailer hooked me. Action games like this have been the type of game I haven't played in a long time I think. I've played action RPGs but nothing that is just straight up action like this.

The scene at 1:04 where Ryu blends in with the rain/fog. Is that part of the original NG3 or possibly one of the new abilities said to be added to the game? That was one of the scenes that me go "Oh yeah. I need to play this". Since it looks like the Wii U won't be getting Metal Gear Rising this should fill that void.
If anyone has played this at Nintendo's Wii U events or even E3, how does it control with the gamepad? Or is the type of game that might be more comfortable with the pro controller?
