Wii U

When the revolutionary Wii U console launches across North America on Nov. 18, the lineup of available games will include a riveting action title with features unavailable on any other system. Nintendo has confirmed that NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor’s Edge for Wii U will launch with new weapons and characters, a redesigned battle system and online multiplayer modes* that let fans savor the adventure together. The game is a powerhouse addition to what promises to be a spectacular software lineup for Wii U.

In NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor’s Edge, the enigmatic warrior Ryu Hayabusa must fight to lift a curse that threatens to destroy him. Whereas the original NINJA GAIDEN 3 included only three weapons for players to choose from, this new version offers six weapons – Sword, Claws, Scythe, Dual Katana, Staff and Kusari-Gama – each with its own unique strengths. The number of available Ninpo has also been increased from one to three.

The following features and enhancements in NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor’s Edge are exclusive to Wii U:


You won’t have to pay for Monster Online 3 Ultimate’s online on Wii U. Capcom confirmed during today’s Japanese Nintendo Direct that the experience will be completely free. The company also said that the 3DS downloadable quests made available following launch will be included on the Wii U disc.


CVG, which claims to have been in contact with a host of different sources, is writing that Nintendo may not have enough stock of Wii U units in the UK to meet demand from pre-orders.

The company will allegedly have only 25,000 units available at launch. One retail source said that the figure was “in line with our estimates”.

But not so fast. A third source at a separate UK retail chain said that shipment expectations were at “anything between 75,000 and 100,000 units during the launch period”.

“What we don’t know is whether this allocation will arrive on day one or be distributed across a number of weeks.”

The image above comes from Nintendo’s latest financial results materials. We posted it a few hours ago. One thing did slip over our heads, however: Need for Speed: Most Wanted in the Wii U’s third-party launch lineup list.

Oddly enough, the game is only listed for Europe. We’re also unsure when the game will be launching.

But at least this pretty much confirms things!

Nintendo will indeed be publishing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in Europe, and probably Australia as well. The news was first hinted at through a rating from the OFLC.

Nintendo UK tweeted earlier today:

“Prepare to hunt! We’ll be distributing Capcom’s #MonsterHunter 3 Ultimate for Nintendo #3DS and #WiiU by March 2013”
