Ryu + Wii U = Ninja Awesomeness

The solitary Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, must find a way to lift the deadly curse on his right arm before it destroys him... NINJA GAIDEN 3 has been reworked to bring to Wii U the truly intense, high-speed challenge and action NINJA GAIDEN fans demand. With more weapon and Ninpo types, a new character progression system, a redesigned battle system and the return of dismemberment, NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge improves upon the original NINJA GAIDEN 3 in every way and offers Wii U exclusive features and functionalities.
Features:

Unique Wii U controls – During single-player mode, players can enjoy faster and more fluid action by using the touch screen of the Wii U GamePad controller to select weapons, execute Ninpo, see in-game information and much more.

New Weapons and Ninpo Types – Exclusive to the Wii U version, the game includes six weapon types and three Ninpo types, allowing for greater game-play variation and deeper strategy.

Character/Weapon Progression System – Using the Karma points earned during game play, a player can upgrade his weapons and Ninpo and increase the character HP level.

Faster, More Intense Battles – Improved enemy AI, the return of dismemberment, as well as new enemy types and battle areas have been added for greater variety in battles and increased replay value.

holy shit, not even Itagaki will come with something like this.

 

[ezekial45]

I had a feeling they'd do that.

I'm willing to give it another chance. It's not a horrible game, but they made some misguided decisions. They definitely felt the backlash from fans.

 

[dragonlife]

DLC for 360/PS3 owners, I bet.

 

[Mileena]

I don't see anything that mentions the game not being a piece of shit anymore.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Sounds speciously like Ninja Gaiden Black. Let's hope it's actually fun this time.

 

[Akainu]

DLC for 360/PS3 owners, I bet.

Nah Ninja Gaiden 3 Sigma 3

 

[Kusagari]

None of that will fix the fact that the game is a piece of shit at its core.

 

[Poyunch]

This is the exact thought I had when it popped up on the Conference. Dat Tecmo x Nintendo relationship.

Spoiler

Maybe that T-Rex won't act so stupid this time.

 

[DR2K]

I don't see anything that mentions the game not being a piece of shit anymore.

They've probably taken all the feedback they've gotten and are working on making more of a NG game.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Uh, exclusive stuff and improved AI can't make this piece of shit better. Sorry to break this news.

 

[kuYuri]

So... Sigma 3 incoming.

 

[scy]

Nintendo with best exclusive? Times are changing man...

 

[SamuraiX-]

I don't see anything that mentions the game not being a piece of shit anymore.

None of that will fix the fact that the game is a piece of shit at its core.

Iiiiiiccccceee.

But seriously, this is pathetic and hilarious at the same time.

 

[MCD]

Not touching this shit again.

NO THANK YOU

 

[Jarmel]

They've probably taken all the feedback they've gotten and are working on making more of a NG game.

So they're completely redoing the game? Great news.

 

[Teknoman]

Man if Nintendo actually gets a good version of Ninja Gaiden 3, that would be amazing!

 

[LiK]

Hayashit

 

[Byronic Hero]

Well, guess I'll wait to play NG3 for a couple years when I buy the U for SSB.

 

[VariantX]

so in other words, they made Ninja Gaiden 3: Ninja Gaiden 2

??

 

[Aeana]

Did they fix the part where every enemy takes like 15 QTEs to beat?

 

[DR2K]

having not played Ng3. What is beyond being able to be fixed?

 

[Haunted]

Wow, that is pretty fucking incredible.

Pretty sure the damage to the Ninja Gaiden [3] name has already been done. You can't just release a gimped version and get away with that. The name is tarnished.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Don't fall for it, Wii U buyers.

 

[SentientStone]

So... Sigma 3 incoming.

This is what I am waiting for.

 

[Pie and Beans]

no they trolled all NG fans and killed the franchise in the process.

MGR:Revengeance is the last japanese action combat game ever.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

From what I've heard, this isn't enough to make the game good.

 

[ShirAhava]

NG3 is the only NG game I actually liked ...only Wii U related thing I'm excited for also

 

[Carbonox]

:lol at thinking those additions will make it a good game. Fucking play the vanilla Ninja Gaiden 3 from start to finish to see that it's a piece of shit in game design in EVERY fucking way. Increased AI, added moves, etc. will do nothing to make the core design of this game better. It will still be crap, just with a bit of added replay value if you wish to torture yourself further but in a different manner.

 

[Nibel]

Don't fall for it, Wii U buyers.

 

[Raide]

Great. Its like getting two piles of shit instead of one. Woooo!

 

[S1kkZ]

nothing can save this mess of a game. not more blood, fyling limbs or new enemies.

 

[Revan]

So... Sigma 3 incoming.

Came here to say this. Leaving satisfied.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

No one takes Ninja Gaiden seriously anymore, so the joke's on Tecmo.

 

[Sojgat]

So now it's a piece of shit with sprinkles on top, no thanks.

 

[Ahasverus]

I'll wait for Ninja Gaiden 3 Black Sigma Revengenace for PS360 one year from now

 

[TheSeks]

DLC for 360/PS3 owners, I bet.

Just like the 2 DLC weapons shortly after launch? Fat chance.

They need to fix the combat engine before anything else. Missing what you're going for is pretty damn stupid.

 

[KillGore]

People bought Ninja Gaiden 3? just by buying NG3 you got trolled.

 

[goldenpp72]

Did they fix the fact that weapons feel like you're hitting enemies with a stick of butter, the annoying qtes, and the fact that the combat feels automatic and awful now?

 

[Instro]

No wonder Nintendo is publishing loool. I still think it will be shit though.

 

[ultim8p00]

Yeah, this makes perfect sense.

Make casual version of the game and release it on PS360.

Make hardcore version of the game and release it on Wii.


Wat the fuck I don't even know. Anyways, NG3 is a shit game so no amount of extra bullshit will fix that.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Sigma 3

its coming

 

[Fatal Futanari]

lol I STILL havent opened my PS3 copy xD

 

[Acheteedo]

It's the WiiU owners who are getting trolled.

 

[Meier]

I was shocked to see Nintendo was publishing it. Missed that during the conference since I was just focused on the over the top violence but just saw it a few minutes ago when watching their "sizzle reel" on Youtube.

 

[MMaRsu]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Fuck you Team fucking NINJA RATS

 

[That Singer Guy...]

Don't fall for it, Wii U buyers.

not until its 14.99 on gamefly.

It's the WiiU owners who are getting trolled.

word^^

 

[Shiggy]

Published by Nintendo outside of Japan.

 

[Pooya]

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.

 

[Dabanton]

And this will be full price no doubt. Hilarious.

 

[theviolenthero]

Really the most important thing is gonna be the price.
If they try to sell this for $50 then it'll flop.
