In addition to the Wii U launch line-up gamers are obviousley interested whrn the 'other' titles will be released for their beloved system. Nintendo have now said that less than six weeks after the Wii U console launches in Europe NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge will be available on 11th January.

In NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge, the enigmatic warrior Ryu Hayabusa must fight to lift a curse that threatens to destroy him.

The number of available Ninpo has also been increased from one to three.

The following features and enhancements in NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge are exclusive to Wii U:

• The return of Dismemberment: The Wii U version of the game restores enemies' ability to fight withsevered arms or legs, requiring players to stay nimble with their battle strategies.
• Ayane as a playable character: In previous versions of the game, Ayane appeared only briefly in one cut scene. Now players can help her progress through her own exclusive chapters using a special set of weapons and Ninpo attacks.
