THANK YOU SIR, I shall wait for that too and a special colour xD (and Zelda)

your Forget about “XENOBLADE 2”.

ToV (360, Japan) says hi. ^^

There were 2 reasons why they could do it:
– Name changed to NGII Sigma
– Completely different engine used

Hayashi explained that using a different engine basically means that legally TN developed a new game releasing them from MS’s exclusivity shackles.

If u want Bayonetta 2 u HAVE to get a Wii U… no way around it. Sega/Plat can still make other Bayonetta games for other platforms though.

i really hope so, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge cover every little weakness the NG3 have like more weapon choice and dismembered .. man this game is too awesome be miss

“Even under a different name, it still may not happen. Look at how Samurai Warriors 3 & 3Z were treated.”
You made a good point there… It really reminds me of Tales of Vesperia for some reason…

If Razor’s edge is indeed in multiplaform phrase, TK has no choice to give an enhanced version of the already enhanced game, according to Sony’s terms of ports…. I say, screw it and wait for NG3:Sigma Plus since it’s the enhanced version of the already enhanced x2 game… Or TK releases it as DLC which I find it next to impossible to do….

I just checked the official EU site and yeah, it seems Nintendo is the publisher after all. http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/NINJA-GAIDEN-3-Razor-s-Edge-640441.html

That would depend on the agreement between Nintendo and TK. Though that happened in the past, Nintendo and TK may have a completely different agreement.

I made that comparison because we basically have the same kind of scenario here as with Samurai Warriors 3.
SW3 was published by Nintendo in NA and EU, and by TecmoKoei in Japan. Then the enhanced SW3Z came out on PS3 and PSP in Japan only.

*Also for additional note, while reviewers love to rip apart Warriors games. They are actually pretty successful games. Though as you say, NG 1 & 2 were significantly more successful. However, NG3 did piss poor in comparison to the first two, and even did poorly in comparison to Warriors games. So who knows what the fate of this game will be in the West. All this is why I personally don’t believe it will happen, and I will wait for a solid confirmation before I bother getting my hopes up.

I just find it strange you would make a comparison with Samurai Warriors. It doesn’t make nearly as much money for them to even consider localizing enhanced versions of the game unlike Ninja Gaiden so it makes sense for them not to do so.

But I guess we’ll see whether or not this stays JPN only or not.

That’s kind of sad…. Make my hate for Nintendo who didn’t bring Fatal Frame series to worldwide coming back again. Wonder if it is wrong if I think like that. (I don’t hate for Bayonetta 2 case though, since they will probably bring it to the West, seeing how large the fanbase outside Japan is.)

What’s the bigger brand is hardly the issue. It only depends on the agreement between TK and Nintendo.

History pretty much says, if Nintendo sinks its teeth into something then that’s it. There are a few exceptions, but that list of exceptions is very short. (that’s why I used terms such as “may” and “likely” in my previous post).

I want this version to come West as much as the next guy; however, I’m not going to bother getting my hopes up without a solid confirmation. I will be looking at this game as JPN only until then.

You can’t really compare a name like Ninja Gaiden and Samurai Warriors, Ninja Gaiden is a much bigger brand than Samurai Warriors.

And this all depends on Nintendo and Tecmo Koei agreement on Razor’s Edge. This is a similar situation to Ninja Gaiden II, which was published by Microsoft but was ported to PS3 later as Sigma 2.
