Posted on June 7, 2011 by John Scalzo

After playing a video showing some of the industry’s top developers singing the praises of the Wii U, Nintendo unveiled the third party lineup that’ll be available for the system:

  • Aliens: Colonial Marines
  • Darksiders II (which will be a launch title)
  • Dirt for Wii U
  • Metro: Last Light
  • Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge (working title)
  • Tekken for Wii U (with a stylus-powered character creator)
  • Batman: Arkham City (which elicited cheers from the crowd)
  • Assassin’s Creed for Wii U
  • Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online
  • Unnamed Electronics Arts games
  • Unnamed EA Sports games

So basically, every hot PS3 and Xbox 360 game is also in development for the Wii U. While BioShock Infinite wasn’t on the list, Irrational’s Ken Levine was included in the developer montage and seemed very impressed with the Wii U.

Whoa!

Ninja Gaiden III E3 trailer is bloody awesome

Posted on June 6, 2011 by John Scalzo

Tecmo Koei has released the E3 trailer for Ryu Hayabusa’s next adventure and it looks like the ninja will be emerging on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in early 2012. This is the first time the series has debuted on both HD consoles at the same time.

Oh, and this trailer is not for the squeamish. Tomonobu Itagaki may have left Team Ninja, but the trailer is full of blood and guys and some absolutely awesome ninja action.

Tecmo to unmask Ninja Gaiden III at E3

Posted on February 28, 2011 by John Scalzo

Publisher Tecmo Koei and developer Team Ninja have unsheathed the first teaser for Ninja Gaiden III. The very short video is actually a POV shot from the eyes of a rival ninja that has just been skewered by series protagonist Ryu Hayabusa. As he thrusts again and again, more and more blood fills the screen causing Ryu to reach for his mask. The video then cuts to the words “Unmask E3 2011″… where Tecmo Koei no doubt plans to reveal more about Ryu’s next adventure.

Ninja Gaiden III will be the first game in the series not developed by Tomonobu Itagaki, who left Team Ninja in 2008.
