There’s certainly a lot new to the Wii U version of Ninja Gaiden III. There are six weapon types and three Ninpo types, one of the criticisms from the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 edition. There’s also better AI and dismemberment.
I’m just wondering if Tecmo Koei has fixed up the major issues, as the the game was slammed hard when it originally came out earlier this year.
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.
