The new Kunai Climb involves Ryu climbing onto certain walls with the use of his kunai, which he can use to attack enemies from above. Such new features include "Steel on Bone", a new visual cinematic trick which allows players to cut through the body during a slow-motion sequence. Ninja Gaiden 3 features new mechanics and changes. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge will be released alongside the Wii U console on November 18.A screenshot of Ryu fighting the "Steel Spider" boss
I would need a lot more time with the game to make a stronger call, but it’s already clear that Team Ninja has been hard at work here. If you do manage to survive, it makes you feel like a really skillful player, and that always feels great.Įven with the little time I spent with Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, I got a good sense of the work that Team Ninja put into it in response to the fan criticisms of the previous version. The game makes you work your fingers and your reflexes in continual streams of battles that make you feel like you just barely survived.
I’m pleased to say that the combat in Razor’s Edge hits that rare zone where things feel nearly impossible, and sometimes gets close to exhausting, but also somehow still manageable when you play at the very top of your game. Maybe I should have looked into the newly added Ninja Skills, which are unlocked by using earned karma.īut I held fast with what I had for this demo, pushing back with against seemingly endless circles of thugs with everything in my arsenal. Area-effective specials and throwing blades helped keep attackers at bay, but individual enemies never go down easily in Ninja Gaiden games, and with this many to contend with, I was having trouble keeping afloat. Even with Ayane’s double blades and fast attacks I struggled to stay alive against the bullets, punches, blades and even missiles came at me from every direction.

These were quick but defined moves that felt really good on the Wii U Pro Controller.Ī second section of the demo took Ayane out of the massage parlor and into the streets of Paris, where countless other attackers lay waiting. I got a real sense of just how sharp Ayane’s blade must be with the speed and effortlessness of her attacks.
It’s a bloodfest as the arterial content of all attackers rains up and out from her swift cuts. She’s not at all intimidated as the attacker holds the muzzle of his semi-automatic to her face, but does take offense as he starts to tilt it down into her cleavage, pulling at the towel that she had covered herself with.Īyane reacts with over-the-top violence, slicing off limbs of the attackers cleanly. Masked goons surround her outside as she receives her rubdown, but one manages to sneak in and hold Ayane at gunpoint. Her first appearance in this demo is on a massage table, showing gratuitous side boob and hip in a massage session in Paris. Team Ninja’s Fumihiko Yasada, game director, said that the image of this beautiful girl fighting and getting bloody “symbolizes the experience and challenge you will feel in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge.”Īyane loves to spill blood.

After playing the demo, I can easily believe that.Īyane, the kunoichi, is is a new playable character in this Wii U version, and a bit of a change of pace from series protagonist Ryu Hayabusa. Tecmo Koei said that they were only offering a playable demo at their event as what they had to show was too bloody and violent for the Tokyo Game Show floor. I was able to give Ayane a go in upcoming Wii U game Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge tonight at a Tecmo Koei press event in Tokyo.
