the trailer on the official site sold me
My mistake. I forgot that the Wii U was an imaginary console.

You can't compare Bayonetta to that trash franchise. Not even close bro.
This is NeoGAF. Can we expect anything but meltdowns?

Pretty sure this post won't be going away and will be mocked for a long while, but I'll still laugh at it now, just to get it out of the way.

Wait?
It's not going anywhere
My brother is getting a Wii-U but I'm still gonna hold off on this, despite being really interested
The thing is, I'm almost sure I'll end up not buying it later on when games I want start rolling out. I'll see in the next few weeks.

I never gave NG 3 a look since the horrid reviews it got. Can you really tell the difference between the Wii U redesign and the NG 3? Again didn't look much into the original NG3.
Looking at the sales of Soul Calibur 5, I'm not so sure the fans did recover.
I wonder what the future of Ninja Gaiden holds. I don't think NG3 did terribly well, and I really doubt the WiiU version will either.
I don't know if we'll see NG4 for awhile, and when we do, it may need some exclusive publisher like Microsoft or Nintendo.
Trolling at its lowest common denominator. You sound jealous too. Please, GTFO.
the gameplay is very, very different (and improved). i think it remains to be seen how the level design will be affected, if at all, because for many people it was equally egregious.

Did any of the other Ninja Gaiden games have coop, or is this the first one?
Sigma 2 had co-op missions, but by all accounts, they were completely terrible.

Man, that looks pretty awesome. Ayane looks fun.
Aw. I was getting a little excited.

3 had them too in the Ninja Trails. All of them could be completed Co-op.

Well damn. At least the single player looks good, which is my main concern. Hell, it's my only concern, as I'll probably just try the coop out for kicks. Maybe it will surprise us.
Yep, they were.
Also, a couple of points on the new trailer:
1) Lots of emphasis on the 'new' costumes. They're recycled. Silly Hayashi TN needs to learn the difference.
2) They've ported Ayane's costume from DOA5, but not the face, so it looks a bit weird.
3) Ayane's voice is amazingly irritating. Should have used the DOA5 actress.

Eh, what? They were awesome. Shame the netcode was shit.
Some of them were impossible with an AI partner.
They would have been fine if they'd made single player equivalents of them, but nooooo. AI, online or don't play.

Game was excellent with a solid partner and a stable netcode. Shame the second one rarely happened. Worse lag in any game I've ever dealt with.

there were moments in Sigma 2 lag where I could see every single frame of the animation. It was kinda like watching a flipbook in slow-motion.
But fuck it man, I needed them trophies

This is the version of NG3 that should of materialized in the first place, but oh well, what can you do? I still enjoyed it believe it or not. Unfortunately, even though this is the definitive version of NG3, I don't think it's still going to sell too well. We will see though. Being a launch game might help a little.

I'm waiting for reviews plus hoping for eShop DD

They will put it on the gamepad so you can touch it as well. It's part of the free DLC.

Given how Wonderful 101 isn't a launch title, I think this will be the game I buy.
I think it has a good chance of outselling vanilla NG3. Being a launch title can work wonders, Nintendo's helping promote it, and they're doing a pretty good job of showing off the new/fixed things in this version.
nah, I'm going physical so I can resell it to 360/ps3 users
It's been a long time since I've actually played a Ninja Gaiden game...played and beat NG1 on the xbox, and I tried NGS2 on PS3, but never beat it.
Other than gameplay complaints about the original version of NG3, if they fix the game enough with Razor's Edge to make it play like one of the good NG games, would NG3 be worth playing?

I see what you did there
But it's the exact same arrangement, Tecmo published NG2 in Japan and Koei Tecmo is publishing this in Japan. It's not a deal to take over as the publisher, unlike Bayonetta 2. This could end up on other platforms as a "Sigma" edition or something quite easily.
Well, I think that would be a bit optimistic for other platform owners as Nintendo has staff assisting with development on this version of NG3. I'd have a hard time believing Nintendo isn't going to lock this down to their platform, at least for a significant amount of time anyway.

name change and even more features and code changes would help ease away from the Nintendo Published Razor's Edge I think. So in that case it would hardly be the same game being ported over.

Yeah, that right there may be the nail in the coffin as far as this goes.
Actually I think the shitty sales of this on the other two platforms doomed them from ever getting it if it doesn't end up seeing the light of day again.

Yikes...it must have tanked pretty hard.
One anecdotal example... the CE was going for $15 (yes, $15) at EB Games about a month after release.

All I want is a mission where I can fight 3 Fiend Ryus at the same time by myself.
