"Innovation is hard to come by when you’re a reasonably heavy-hitting game by a well known developer. But when Yosuke Hayashi took to the helm of Team Ninja and produced an altogether deeper and intriguing Ninja Gaiden 3, he took the original series mould and innovated to give the violence reason. Naturally, those who called for innovation actually disliked having it, and would much rather have everything back to the way it was before. Because of this Ninja Gaiden 3 hit a stumbling block when it came to market, it disappointed everyone. Now though, Team Ninja have a rare opportunity to have a second stab at success by releasing Ninja Gaiden 3 on Wii U. Thankfully they’ve gone and turned the unfortunate mess into something rather spectacular – if not something somewhat unoriginal."
It's been 10 years since the launch of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge on Wii U - it's about time we received another sequel.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.

NG:RE is good (2 was better though) and I havent played the others. My kids will likely get a kick out of bolt and tembo while I will give the F:13th the old college try.
The games with gold selection is trash. Besides Friday the 13th. Ninja Gaiden 3 is the worse in the whole series. Bolt and Tango...laughable
NG:RE is better then 1 or Black. Waaaaay more options. Better graphically. More playable characters. More costumes. More weapons. More ninjitsu. More enemy variety. In comparison. The first game is basic af.
