According to Yosuke Hayashi, head of Team Ninja, the DS control scheme found in Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword will be brought over to Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge for Wii U. However, the development team is also implementing traditional button and analog stick-based controls as well.
“It was almost like fate that we’re making making Ninja Gaiden 3 and then we have the option to bring in Dragon Sword controls, that kind of gameplay, to a high spec console version. We feel we’ll be able to give players a new kind of gameplay, a new feel with the new controller.”
This information comes from Square producer Yoshinori Kitase…
“Three or four years ago we joked around about developing a Final Fantasy game on the Wii Fit balance board. But after seeing Wii U revealed at Nintendo’s conference, we are now considering the possibilities of bringing the Final Fantasy series to the format.”
I’m sure we’ll get a Final Fantasy on Wii U at some point. Only question is, what type of game will it be? A mainline entry, a Crystal Chronicles title, or something entirely different?
Nintendo has elaborated on their DSiWare plans for The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. The company revealed that the title is indeed a port of the GBA version. You know, the extra addition made to A Link to the Past on GBA. Any sort of online support is therefore unlikely. But hey, it’s free!
