The rumor that Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge was going to hit other platforms is true, according to Japanese video game magazine Famitsu. The action-adventure video game, which is an enhanced version of Ninja Gaiden 3, which was released in March 2012, will be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge launched alongside the Wii U console in November last year, and it was even published by Nintendo in Europe and North America, but the game will no longer be exclusive to the publisher’s latest console.
Okay seriously, WHAT will it take for developers to NOT screw Nintendo out of a decent exclusive title…
Hold on so because the game was not published by Nintendo in Japan they can port it there?
Can they port it here?
No, they can’t. It was published by Nintendo out here, meaning Nintendo has the say on where it goes in the States and Europe.
This is for Japan.
Not necessarily. Depending on the contractual agreements between the publisher and studio, the IP holder can have the final say. Games have changed publishers in the same region before. For example, Mass Effect was published by Microsoft at first, then went to PS3 after a while. No More Heroes was published by Ubisoft first on Wii (in North America) then went to PS3 published by Konami. It happens from time to time.
This was just fairly fast.
Well, as far as I know, Nintendo ponied up the majority of the dough for all of the improvements that went into the state-side releases of Razor’s Edge.[do correct me if I’m wrong on that]
In that particular case, wouldn’t it be Nintendo who has the most rights and the highest say, since they’re the ones that paid for the publishing fees and changes to the game?
The simple answer: no.
In Japan.
To which part? Keep in mind that I’m talking state-side, not in Japan.
At least Tecmo of Europe confirmed on twitter that it’s coming to Europe on 5th of April
https://twitter.com/tecmokoeieurope
Not that big a deal really.
Tecmo probably had to pay a break up fee to Nintendo.
Who knows. The details of the contract is not made available to the public.
Nintendo to release a console that isn’t 7 years behind the curve in terms of specs and capabilities?
Or for Nintendo to stop relying solely on odd new controllers when the ones we have already work great?
Or both?
Just guessing here.
**Woah, wait a minute, if it’s published by Nintendo, how can they legally port it to other consoles??
because it’s not Nintendo’s game…?
It’s not published by Nintendo in Japan.
So does that mean it will only be released in Japan?
Ya, I can TOTALLY see that selling well >_>
It’s like the Sigma edition
Did not already X Box 360 and PS3 have this game? Why are they puthing the same game twice in those consoles?
IKR ? It’s a sick joke to people who bought NG3 on ps3 or 360 lol!!!
But yeh , people stop crying FFS!!! It was NOT PUBLISHED BY NINTENDO IN JAPAN!!!
Anyway , i have the game now on my Wiiu and it’s awesome! And it probably isn’t even coming to 360 and ps3 in Europe or America.
it said in the article it does come in Eu and NA….im i missing something or misreading?
I don’t know :S ….. It’s not that Big of a deal anyway. At least it’s on Wiiu and I am playing on the game litteraly right now :P
I doubt that those version will of tv play and touch screen support :P
And for people who already have the game, all features and parts of the game exclusive to the wii u will be sold as a DLC pack for psn and xbl
*In Japan.
You have some high hopes that Team Ninja is keeping the polished turd trapped in Japan, they could easily find a loophole to release it as something else.
Doesn’t matter either way though, because the game sucks.
Then don’t buy it and don’t like it.
No skin off my back.
Lol soul of a warrior!!!
You pissed….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
What I don’t get is didn’t Nintendo help fix the game? Making them the publisher or something…meaning its Nintendo game? Seriously though I’m so sick of developers breaking exclusive games cause of greed for more money. What a fucking insult to gamers.
Didn’t the same thing happen to some Microsoft exclusive games?
watch as the game will suffer like the other games, just like epic mickey.
The game was already shit. Making it suffer wont change anything.
In Japan, it was published by Tecmo Koei, meaning in Japan, it isn’t Nintendo’s game.
I’m gonna hate myself for saying this… but I have to agree with you. Nintendo didn’t publish Razor’s Edge in Japan.
That can’t happen to beyonetta right? I haven’t really been following that game at all
Nope, Nintendo are publishing Bayonetta 2 worldwide, whereas they didn’t publish NG3 in Japan.
I understand. Still I can understand how some fans of Nintendo are upset with this news but I’m sure Nintendo knew this would happen
DAMN FUCKIN NINJAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wait so NG3 R E will not be coming to ps3 and 360?
They will be, but possibly only in Japan.
It can happen. It probably won’t for a while, but it can. In the end, it’s still SEGA’s game.
Of course it could happen, but SEGA would still have to negotiate it all with Nintendo.
Wich means more games to wiiu, hope they make a valkyria chronicles for wiiu or 3ds.
WTF! Nintendo invested in these enhancements. Why would anyone buy this on Xbox 360 or PS3, when they already have their version??
to rip of people, and im curios how online will work with two games been the same, imagen dumbassess (cough cough aeolus)buying the wrong one.
I buy quality games, not shit games. The difference between me and you is that you bought a shit console with shit games, while I bought /good/ gaming platforms with good games.
You also have a shitty avatar, which is probably not too far off from what you’re like irl, a geeky little shit. :P
So much win :)
PhAeolusNess is a disease that is contracted from hooking up your “playstation” to a dirty “x-box”! Go wash yourselves…dirty pigs!
But you have a nogames vitanic and never talk about getting games, lol.
Amir Stuart, I wouldn’t be talking about what people look like in real life until you look in the mirror…
aww someones buthurt for a sony drone, is in it cute.
Aeolus I have a question
Why do you act like an asshole to people who like Nintendo
You think it’s your job to stop letting people have opinions
Why do you linger around this damn site if you don’t like Nintendo?
Let the people have opinions you fuck.
I used to come to this site under a different username a few months ago but i stopped bothering and recently I made a new account and wow you’re still here lmao don’t you have anything better to do you’ve spent like 6 whole months trying to convince people not to buy the Wii U or whatever is it really that important?
Can people PLEASE stop just insulting each other for no reason whatsoever?
say that to aeolus, but hey thats never going to happen.
No Nintendo paid to publish that! Noone else can have Bayonetta 2
Tecmo = Capcom
Lol.
How so? Tecmo does well with it series. Capcom just kills them.
if they do that then this is another 3rd party i will never support again.
capcom (wanabe Americans= what kill their IPS)
EA (take a wild guess)
konami (only Castlevania ill buy but other nah)
Activision (if BO2 does not get DLC im done with their BS)
This^
Super true. Capcom are contract breaking whored
So what they are saying is if Nintendo helped Bayonetta 2 come to fruition by becoming it’s publisher, Sega can go behind Nintendo’s back and release it for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3? I hope I’m wrong on this one…make it not be true…MAKE IT NOT BE TRUE!!!!
It would be better if it’s on all platforms , So shut your fanboyish mouth
Not in this case when nintendo doesn’t really have big third party titles. Xbox has theirs and Sony.This will get beyonetta fans to buy a wii u now if they want to play it.
I doubt it will , It turns out the wii u is a current gen system and bayonetta fans won’t waste their money on an overprice Hunk of junk.
No, they’ll buy it, unless they’re either short on cash or asshurt to the point of bitter.
Bayonetta fans won’t bother, Kamiya already alienated them. Only the Wiitards will make it sell an extra 3 orso copies, but they just buy first party games rather than third party efforts.
Bayonetta 2 is sent to die. Didn’t fair that well on two platforms and it won’t do any better on a failing one.
Bullshit.
I’m a Bayonetta fan and I’m going to bother.
I know an entire community’s worth of people who feel the same way on multiple sites.
Take your doom-&-gloom elsewhere and quit stalking my posts, ya freak.
1. Pretty sure Kamiya’s always been pro Nintendo, they guy wants to make a Star Fox.
2. Bayonetta 2 “fans” that were “alienated” should be ashamed of themselves, and actually be thankful of Nintendo for actually making the game exist in the fucking first place, Kamiya didnt alienate anyone, SEGA, Sony and Microsoft did.
3. Bayonetta 2 is getting alot more hype than the original, and what was it you always say? Quality > sales?
4. Failing system?
So over 3 million in 2-3 months is failing? When the 360 could even get that in 6 months?
“Oh Nintendo lowered their predicted WiiU sales, must be failing”. Yeah, because its not like that didnt happen with the 360 and ps3 /s
The main word is PREDICTION, since their last prediction, Rayman, Pikmin, and other titles have all been pushed back and delayed, those games alone would cut expected sales. This stuff happens all the fucking time, game releases, economy, ect all fluctuate and change, all the time.
You’re the biggest fanboy moron i have ever had the displeasure of reading.
thank you! god he frustrates me. dumb hypocrite.
^THIS COMMENT FTW
Yo Phaeolus, go watch some Sailor Moon to help with your Bayonetta deprivation! Oh, plus I heard you kick ass at Cooking Mama! Keeping secrets from us, aren’t you? Shame, shame, shame…..
I regret to inform you that your troll-pass has expired! So take your demands and go have your tantrums on another forum! Ness…my ass!
lol Sega has nothing to do with Bayonetta 2.
not anymore
Yes they do. It’s their game and they are partnered with Nintendo to produce it. I mean heck, SEGA’s name is in the freakin’ trailer.
Oh snaps I didn’t even see that! Thanks for correction.
I think they just own the rights to the character though, it’s not like SEGA actually want anything to do with Bayonetta, they’re just hanging onto it to make a bit of money.
Fine. But please let this happen to Ni No Kuni. :'(
You and I think alike. A smile so wide came over my face thinking about that studio Gibli master piece :).
Yeah, I doubt that will ever happen.
it’s in japan only, right?
In Japan
People dont look at the bigger picture it is true Nintendo helped them but it also means that to get out of the deal whit Nintendo tecmo has to give something perhaps a multiplat that wasnt coming to the wiiu?. Also if konami wants to bring the 3 ds castlevania a similar thing will happen.
Give us the Ninja Gaiden Zombie game thats coming out, that would be nice
I don’t think the platforms have been announced for that game yet, have they? So it’s entirely possible the Wii U will get it along with the other next-gen systems.
dont you all see that the only future for the wii u are Nintendo games…for third parties expect to see them work for next playstation or xbox instead of that not so powerful wii u. I bought a Wii U and seriously love it but i know the only good games i will get on it are games made by Nintendo and i only hope they will make a lot but not too much i dont want same mario again and again like they did with new super mario bros u
i would love to buy mario and zelda games for my ps4 instead of having to own a wii u just to play few games
-_-
see, i would love to play multiplats without needing to buy the cheapest other console. for this gen which was xbox
please go die somewhere!
Rayman Legends
Lego City
Shin Megami
ZombiU
Scribblenaughts
Collaborations with Capcom and other third party developers and the idea that they want to work with a wide range of third parties to make new content for the system
Yeah, all that Nintendo /s
I love NSMB U its a great 2d Mario game especially since I never got to deepinto the Wii version.
It’s only coming to 360 & PS3 in Japan. You guys do know that right?
if true then the article that alba post is VERY misleading.
Not really, only a complete retard would think it is. Just probably would of helped if they put “In Japan” after it.
this site does that. it gets more attention
The PredicTOR knows it all. Thanks playa. In conclusion, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge is Wii U exclusive in North America and Europe and published by Nintendo of America and Europe. But Razor’s Edge is published by Tecmo-Koei in Japan for all three platforms– Wii U, PS3, and X360.
Actually Tecmo of Europe confirmed the game to launch on April’s 5th in Europe. No word on American release yet, but I would imagine it’s coming about the same time there.
https://twitter.com/tecmokoeieurope
Not a big deal anyway.
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Do you live in Japan?
HA^^^^
^dickhead
buthurt much xbox drone?
nope i think he is from australia.
Correct
I don’t know who it offends more, Nintendo gamers or gamers in the other 2 consoles who already bought the game.
And if by some imba reason they manage to port it to EU and NA…fuck Team Ninja.
If anyone takes offense to this they’re an extremely sad indiviual.
I won’t be surprised if it comes to the states and europe, but right now, it’s only for Japan that this is happening, apparently, so state-side trolls are still sitting on their own thumbs this time.
Having said that, though, I feel sorry for the poor gamers who wanted a Wii U for this but couldn’t afford it, so it’d be nice to see them get this version of the game for themselves to play on a console they already own.
I do not, however, hold any sympathy for the haters who bitched that this version wasn’t the one they got in the first place and decided to hate the Wii U for getting it.
me think dis not guds for dah nintendo, me in dah greece. me tink dat sony is dah theif.
I can’t believe you idiots are still supporting the wiiu, i just cant get over it, this site it like looking at an accident, its sick, but you have to look.
The wiiu is a flop, perhaps one of the top biggest flops in gaming history and you all are supporting it.
1) its proven its under powered, so in the long run no third party support will come to to it, nintendo alone cant publish and finance enough games to make this console worth while, and third parties dont want to dumb down their games because it costs money and their is little returns as must intelligent people dont want dumbed down ports.
2) the wiiu can run most current gen games, but where are they? very few games are coming
3) even exclusives cant stay exclusive because developers know they wont make any money on the wiiu.
4) the xbox and play station simply are going to be leaps and bounds more powerful than the wiiu, nobody will want this under powered uninspired pile of crap once they are out, hell nobody wants it now but a you all.
It makes me sick that people are defending nintendo, they ruined their brand, reputation, and credibility.
where is your self respect and your pride, allowing a company to make fools of you.
Take it elsewhere, Amy.
It won’t help you this time.
the only thing sadder than a fan boy, is a fan girl. :( good luck with your house-full of cats in he future, amy. :(
did you really just wrote this? lol waste of time
Agree, Nintendo fans are the fakest gamers alive today. Blind brand loyalty and shitty taste in shitty games.
Lol we don’t see Nintendo fans raiding a Sony site!
Fans = people who enjoy the games but also enjoy other systems
Fanboys = people who defend everything a company does and trashes everything else.
Sounds a bit like you does the second one.
It is funny how you call it a failure when it so far have sold more than both 360 and PS3 during the same period of time. I can see most of you not calling the PS3 a failure when infact it was a freaking failure when it was released. Ofcourse the Wii U games will sell less than the PS3/360 games, it is only natural as a very small part of the gamer comunity owns the system, do not expect the PS4/720 to sell any better at all during the first period of time after release.
go have your rag…then EAT IT!!!!!
You evil little cun* I cant believe you have the nerve to preach to use about self respect and pride. You dont have any for supporting companies who make unspired games like sony and microsoft. You are right, the wiiu will probably have poor third party support, but so what? if we like nintendos games and it is worth it to us, then whats wrong with that.
You troll here putting us down constantly, its pathetic!! Your the one who makes me sick for putting people down simply because they like a certain gaming console.
Amy is bill using another name
Amy=Bill
Bill=amy
You need to stop playing your under powered console capable of maybe sega master system graphics and get laid, ohhhh wait your nintendo fans so getting laid is a fantasy. Instead go enjoy your fat plumber who is after and underage princess you perverts
Again, take it elsewhere.
You’re making yourself look bad.
Making myself look bad? i could say the same for you being a nintendo fan, it doesn’t get worse than that.
Yeah it does.
Being you is worse.
You’re spending your time trolling people on a website dedicated to things you hate.
THAT is sad.
The joke here is that you’re a Nintendo fan, which by default makes you part of the gaming market nobody cares about.
Now bend over for Reggie as he tells you to.
The joke?
Oh, you mean the one that only the trolls laugh at.
Right. Funny-ha-ha.
Now go slay yourself somewhere else. Preferably back under your bridge.
then why are you here in the first place? Does in that make you a nintendo fan if you come here everyday in by default you are lower than us because of your stupidity. Plus your opinion does not even matter here and you still try to act like your comment=fact, but in reality is your comment=shit.
So you’re calling every Nintendo fan a pervert and hating on nintendo fand for supporting their favorite company on a Nintendo site?
You’re an idiot with way to much time on your hands.
Your on a site for Nintendo news
Einstein…
Go back to your games you enjoy so much on other consoles, oh thats right you get more pleasure from wasting your sad excuse you call a life preaching to random people how much nintendo is for perverts.
Get n or get the fuck out bitch.
Amy, i bet your pretty as hell:)
Oh yeah why so we can skip around playing with little pussy ass sackboy racing?
Off topic but new Mario Kart :P http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/06/nintendo-and-namco-team-for-mario-kart-arcade-game
MARIO KART REALLY!!!!!! what a horrible game, I bet if your parents knew how your are spending your money they would either disown you or file for conservator of your money since you obviously lack the ability to make reasonable decisions.
Get a life amy ala Bill
a nintendo fan tells me to get a life, thats hilarious.
You’re spending portions of your life on a site dedicated to a company you hate, because you’re just that lonely.
Sounds like you DO need a new one.
LMFAO
Agree
Your hilarious
Wtf are you doing in a nintendo site anyways?
how terrible! a game that sells amazing and rates highly!
Yet another Japan-only thing, but it’s still an interesting tid-bit.
what I think you all should do is stop buying from nintendo of american and import from europe or japan. NIntendo has decent games sometimes, but not in american. NIntendo of america is for babies
I agree with you, nintendo is so much better in other counties. I still think your a miserable person
As long as people are willing to buy games it shouldn’t matter to u
Nah, Japan has the goods for the most part. But Nintendo’s greed region locks everything, making it a futile and expensive endeavor for importers.
Region locking literally only helps their wallet, not the consumer.
You act like nintendo is the only company that region locks there games.
Shhhhh. Don’t bother. He hates Nintendo with a burning passion and won’t listen to any logic that would put blame on anyone but them.
It’s not worth your time.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/df-hardware-wii-u-graphics-power-finally-revealed Wii U is current gen , your argument is invalid.
fail…
check your sources again if you don’t wanna be a liar like aeolus ;)
All of that info is incomplete.
Your invalidation attempt is invalid.
Not just incomplete but they are also guess no 1 knows for certain not even people who makes a living out of it.
Yeah, all those Japanese games i cant play on my console….
Oh wait, doesnt matter, because 99% of people in my country cant fucking speak/read Japanese.
Your idiocy does not speak for the masses.
Well that’s the arcade one, they already did a Namco and Nintendo Mario Kart ages ago, they’re pretty cool.
It does raise the question of could Mario Kart be an example of Nintendo working with other third parties like Namco, to expand the series, that is frankly, getting stale, despite being fun.
I’m love them to make it more like Sonic All Stars, where its still called Mario Kart, but like Mario Kart and Friends (i know, its stupid name but you get the point xD) where 15 characters are Mario Kart ones, but they throw in Kirby, Link, Captain Falcon, Samus, Fox ect.
LOL all these fanboys crying , http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/df-hardware-wii-u-graphics-power-finally-revealed Looks like the wii u isnt so powerful after all :)
That article was debunked already. The pictures are stolen from Neogaf, and everyones said that the article cant be trusted, and they’re judging it based on only looking at about 30% of the chip.
Butthurt? HAHAHAHA
why would he butthurt when he said wii u only need 30 percent of it power to play current gen game, when ps3 and xbox360 need 100 percent to play current gen game. the other 70% is for next gen game.
so they think that after the first title failed miserably (and i mean miserably) on the other platforms now they’ll magically make everyone buy it?
seriously how stupid can you get
Yet it became a cult classic of this generation.
The problem with Bayonetta’s sales was this:
1. 360 owners dont, or didnt give a fuck.
2. The PS3 version has a bad port and put people off
3. The game was weird and unapproachable, and had a female protagonist, unfortunatly, gaming community is still quite sexist, although less so over the few years.
4. It got released in January…nobody has money in January.
5. Know what else got released in January? MASS EFFECT 2. That game outshadowed EVERYTHING, Darksiders got released the same both, again, very overrated and didnt sell that well. When you have to pick out of Mass Effect 2, Darksiders, or some weird Japanese game with a girl who has guns on her feet, i can take a bet on where everyone went.
Bayonetta 2 however, is getting noticed, people know it was massively underrated, people are intersted in it. I mean, Kamiya got death threat about it being a WiiU exclusive. And you know what they say, bad publicity is good publicity. Pretty sure there’s interest in the game.
HAHAHA, really?
REALLY?
Someone was so butt-hurt that they actually sent Kamiya a Death Threat over it??
I hope there’s an article you can link me to for that. I could use the laugh.
Yeah, Google it. That really happened! Some of the people had their accounts deleted from twitter because of it. It was all over the gaming media. There were even ps/ms fans embarrassed by the display! The thing is Bayonetta 2 was proposed to both of them and THEY turned it down. Now Nintendo comes along and sees the potential…EVERYBODY PISSED! Oh, stick a cork in it!!
thats what they get for buying a games like mass effect and let a game like this get away.
Dead serious, google it (cant link keeps sending me to the mobile site -.-), but yeah, they full sent him death threats about it. Fucking atrocious.
And you wonder why people worry about video game violence.
Okay, so I’m looking at these posts on some of the articles that google dragged up, and I’m just ASTOUNDED at the amount of rage going on here.
Everything from death threats to entitled anti-Nintendo trolls trying to lecture the Wii gamers about how it feels to miss out on multiplatform games.
I’m trying my hardest not to laugh till I cry over some of the absurdity I’m seeing, but it’s not working.XD
I mean, are those REALLY the kinds of gamers that consider themselves a part of the “Mature gamer demographic”?
I just….wow……
Some of them rage so hard that they put our own resident anti-Nintendo trolls to absolute shame.XD
and these dumbass troll say “we” were the immature…..
um i wasn’t talking about bayonetta… i was talking about ninja gaiden 3.. which this article is about
and it was released in late march
Pingback: Wii U pierde la exclusiva de Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. Se confirman versiones para Ps3 y X360 | www.nextn.net
Ridiculous, it’s almost like releasing the same game twice on the same consoles.
Considering people who own the other platforms already bought the suckier version. Wouldn’t think they would try their luck again.
I hope people read this.
Its probably for the fans, after all NG3 got horrible reviews(still better than CoD: BOD take that aeolus) and the fans pretty much hated it. While NG3 RE got okay reviews. Techmo knows this and they probably would like for fans to remember their love for the game. That jusy what I think.
Tecmo Koei=Crapcom. Seriously, what a rip-off! I would be seriously pissed if I bought the original crappy Ninja Gaiden 3 to have Tecmo Koei shit all over me by saying they are going to be releasing the Wii U version now. Screw you Team Ninja!

Tecmo of Europe confirmed the game coming to Europe on 5th of April. Would imagine it coming to America around the same time, but we’ll see.
