Is this the end of Ninja Gaiden? Can the Wii U save it?

I could see it at least spurting out one more game but if that doesn't do at least average then I'm pretty sure the series will be dead. It's good to see that #4 is a newer game though, that could mean that this game just wasn't released at the best time? Or maybe it has really, really poor marketing?

The developers took a piss on their fanbase, to put it mildly. That's the death knell for any series that isn't particularly popular to begin with. Ninja Gaiden was dependent on its following, but the developers decided that they can do what they want.

Then I guess it's dead. Unless they really prove that they have another game that's really good, other than that "pissing" on your fanbase would be the worst thing to do.
