So lets see. They got rid of all your cool weapons. You can't really upgrade anything. No dismembering of enemies. Ninpo and inferno has been rehauled and sucks. So how many steps back did this game take. Way to many to count.

Oh yea the infected arm is extemely irritating.  Lets not forget the horrible story and on top of that the combat is just as bad.  This was not up to Ninja Gaiden standards at all.  I'm going to go back and play part 2 to remember why I loved this franchise so much.  Bring back Tomonobu Itagaki and do it right. I'm scared for what the next game has to offer. I will say it again. What a disappointment. They dumbed the game down for casuals and ruined the game. Damn you casuals. This was one hardcore game that you didn't deserve.

what games do you think where a complete disappointment?

President Yoshimi Yasuda did in fact as itagaki said. Push out junk. He predicted it and now we know for sure that he was right.

I played the demo, the gameplay sucked big times. Thats why I never bought it, maybe when its 10€ or something

Damn I feel bad for the fans of the series, I've heard some seriously bad things.

I wonder if razors edge or w/e it's called for the wiiu is a new game or this same game with wiiu features.

imo the stories in NG always were mediocre. But the things they have done that affects gameplay sounds really stupid

Ng3 was my most wanted game. After i beat it, it was my most dissapointed game.

I´m a Ninja gaiden fan, and Ng3 is just crap. All the game has its the main character and the name since its completely a disaster to the series.

They need to go back and release a classic 2D style Gaiden game, because that's the only way they're going to be able to revive this series after the horrible showing that was Ninja Gaiden 3.

It's the same game with some bigger adjustments to the gameplay and some extras. If they're very lucky they could make the game even decent.

Devil May Cry 2 comes to mind.

oh gotcha :S why change the name tho? Then again given the reception this one had it might not be a bad idea. Hopefully they changed enough to make it decent, could even be a good asset to the wiiu line up if so.
