But let me tell you, if Razor's Edge is the good version, then the original Ninja Gaiden 3 must have been a train wreck of epic proportions. Somehow I missed out on the original 2012 release, so I vouch for the general consensus. The results were decidedly mixed, with many critics complaining about the bad pacing, shallow action and repetitive boss battles. Released almost exactly a year before Razor's Edge, Ninja Gaiden 3 (no subtitle) hoped to attract a new audience by upping the action and blood. To be fair, this is technically the second release of Ninja Gaiden 3. It's a game so miserably uninteresting that it will no doubt stop the franchise in its tracks. Two decades later, Tecmo is ready to repeat history with Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, a modern-day action game that completely misses the point of what makes this franchise so much fun. It was a half-baked action game with nasty technical problems and a lame story.
And now, thanks to Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, we can add Ryu Hayabusa to the long list of victims of the pop-culture curse.īack in 1991, Tecmo disappointed millions of Nintendo Entertainment System owners with Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom.
While others might note that Beethoven had much better luck with odd-numbered symphonies. Many people would argue that only the even-numbered Star Trek movies are worth watching.
When it comes to popular culture, some patterns are hard to break.
