Much has changed since you may have read some unkind things about Ninja Gaiden 3 earlier this year. In fact, it’s not even fair to call the refurbished Razor’s Edge a “director’s cut.” Rather, it’s more like a film that’s been screen-tested, made changes based on lots of negative feedback, and then released in a significantly different form than it was originally shown. Of course, that makes Xbox and PS3 owners akin to screen-testers who paid $60 for the privilege, but that’s another matter. Regardless of whether you’re coming to Razor’s Edge as a Ninja Gaiden neophyte or a series veteran looking for this franchise to redeem itself, you’ve come to the right place.
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.
Went from a 3 to a 7.6. That's pretty damn good...
@ linkfan8800. Come on now. IGN has been giving crap scores to VITA games several times now. If it where a Sony owned site don't you think they should be handing out high scores at least equal to what other sites gave them? Are you sure you are not the one mad because they gave a Wii U game a bad score. Would you have been as outraged if it was COD VITA getting a low score from IGN and other sites weren't? Would it have been a crap site if they gave it the highest score possible?
I think 7.6 is pretty good actually. Like shackdaddy said above, it went from a 3 to a 7.6 so it more than doubled its score.
It's pretty damn impressive that the game got such a solid retooling in time for the Wii U launch. As someone who really didn't like Ninja Gaiden 3's first release, I must say that I'm curious to see how Razor's Edge plays.
