Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge to be the “hardcore fan package” version on the Wii U

11 Comments

Ninja Gaiden 3 wasn’t well-received on other platforms, which does make the Wii U version a hard sell. But Yosuke Hayashi of Team Ninja has admitted that they did leave out “some of the things the series was well-known for” in the original version. With that awareness, he’s hopeful for the Wii U version:

We had this opportunity to put those hardcore aspects back in. It’s kind of the hardcore fan package of Ninja Gaiden 3.

I’m curious to see how drastic (or minimal) the changes are. Team Ninja has a great opportunity to redeem themselves, so hopefully they don’t waste it.

    Ninja Gaiden 3: Playable Version. I’ll be getting this one, I’ve always been a fan of the series despite never actually picking it up.

    I heard that Ninja Gaiden 3 wasn’t a great game on both PS3 and X360. Now that Nintendo is publishing Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge for the Wii U (with a helping hand for developer Team Ninja), they’ll be correcting the problem and bringing back more graphic violence including dismemberment and more Ninpo!

      even more violence? how is that even possible…

    I want to get this game, but I probably wait into what everyone else says how good or bad the game is.

    I just hope this game gets a fair shake when it comes to reviews. I hate reading a review for 1 game across 3 systems. WiiU looks like i can really offer a genuinely unique experience (all puns intended). If the reviews look good, i may just pick this up.

    im not sure if this is being published by nintendo or not. some sources say it is but others say its not…if they are, why would nintendo publish such a violent game?…im hoping it at least has the option to turn gore off, im not a fan of violence

      Then just dont buy the game. Its good for Nintendo to have some more gory games in there library. It will help get that “nintendo is for kids” stereotype off of their belt.

      i dont plan on buying it, but some day i might add it to my collection just because its published by nintendo…and no i dont think its good for them to have gory titles because unless they start making a lot more gory games(which i dont want to happen), that stereotype wont go away just because these mature games…look at perfect dark and golden eye for the n64, those were rated m and had gore yet there is still this stereotype u speak of…so really this game isnt helping the case and it would be better if nintendo stuck to games everyone can enjoy

      Why did they publish Eternal Darkness? Money I guess. And yes, Nintendo is publishing this game.

    Yay, more blood-bursts!
