Team Ninja listened to feedback for Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge
It’s sad to say, but it’s unfortunately true: Ninja Gaiden 3 was one of the worst entries in the franchise. Despite the poor reception, Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja haven’t abandoned their plans to bring a new version of the game – Razor’s Edge – to Wii U.
Based on what’s been said about Razor’s Edge thus far, the mechanics are similar to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. However, there are new gameplay elements and the overall experience has been “reworked” for Wii U.
Team Ninja’s Yosuke Hayashi has stated that the studio has “listened to the feedback” from the original game and also “reexamined what the series was, what the game was, what people want.” With the Wii U edition, Hayashi said that the title “just tries to be its best”.
According to Hayashi:
“For Razor’s Edge, we listened to the feedback (from Ninja Gaiden 3) and we reexamined what the series was, what the game was, what people want. We’re going back to rethinking what the series means. The concept for the Wii U version of Razor’s Edge is for it to be its own action game, an action game that doesn’t try to be anything else. It just tries to be its best.”
Razor’s Edge must be halfway decent if Nintendo has faith in the product, right? The Big N plans to publish the title when it launches on Wii U.
