Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge has had me singing "Push it to the Limit" to myself for well over a week. Was the game worth it? Find out in our co-op review.

If you needed a reason to go out a buy Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge for the Wii U this holiday season, this is it. Just watching Ayane as a flipping and twirling ball of ninja death is more than enough to convince us to try this game out once on the Wii U.

Ninja Gaiden 3 for the 360 and PS3 was... a bit of a let down - both from a single-player and cooperative perspective. There is some hope for improvement in the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge for the Wii U, which seems to offer some improvements and additions over the original. One of the biggest additions is pictured above: Ayane as a playable character in both single-player campaign and the online co-op mode. A new list of features for the game has been revealed along with a release date - November 18, 2012, the Wii U's launch date.

For the Wii U version only, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge will receive an upgraded game (you could count this as the “Sigma” version of the game). Not only will dismemberment visuals will be included back in the series, along with an improved AI of the enemy demons and ninjas you’ll encounter, the biggest feature going into it will be the addition of Ayane, a female ninja who’s skills are arguably on par with Ryu Hayabusa’s, as a playable character.
