Ninja Gaiden 3

Ninja Gaiden 3 Collector's Edition Looks Sharper Than a Katana

Here's another March date to add to your diary, as if there weren't enough already. Ninja Gaiden 3 will be unleashed on March 20th, 2012 with a rather tasty-looking Collector's Edition, which comes bundled in a big ol' box, with a figurine called the 'Duel of the Masked', featuring hero ninja Ryu Hayabusa fighting the game's mysterious masked antagonist.

There's also a soundtrack CD and an 'Unmask' art book in the box, as well as a voucher for the Dead or Alive 5 demo stage, featuring four playable fighters, namely Ryu Hayabusa himself, Ayane, Hitomi and Hayate. Lovely stuff, we'll think you'll agree.

Take a look at the Ninja Gaiden 3 Collector's Edition below, which will be selling for an MSRP of $99.99, then start saving your pennies and sharpening your blade for the bloody slice 'n' dicer this March.

Interested to see what this will be like. Did they keep the decapitation/amputations out? Bummer if they did, that seemed appropriate for the game...

Not sure I'm going to buy it even though I loved Ninja Gaiden 2 and this looks all pretty badass. Reason? No more decapitations and dismemberments. Because that was like... the coolest thing ever!

I might have to see an unboxing video of the figure and art book. Don't know if its worth $100. Has to be a decent size book and figure.

Looking forward to this, but probably wont pick this collectors edition up.

@2- the original Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox was way,way harder.
Ninja Gaiden 2 was a walk in the park compared to that :p

@2 When you say ninja gaiden 2 was hard, do you mean the NES game or the Xbox game either way their both hard as hell (I know what you really meant but I found both Ninja Gaiden 2's hard)

OT: I'm probably going to get this, final fantasy 13-2 and mass effect 3's collector editions.

Also has anyone else got any concerns over the new easy mode added to ninja gaiden 3? In my opinion it would have been nice to keep the formula of Impossibly hard games, like the NES versions, but that is just what I think. This would have also kept on Ninja Gaiden 3's legacy, the NES version.

This might be the first Special Edition I ever buy that wasn't discounted to the same price as the normal edition. Looks sweet!

from that picture, the statue looks kinda crappy IMO.
when it comes to special editions though, I can't stop myself, there goes about £60-80 on this as well as 3 other special editions I'm getting this year on top of that

I love Collectors Editions and try to but them whenever I can but I have to justify the cost. I mean I bought the $150 Skyrim Collectors Edition but it came with an extremely nice artbook (for people who are in to that sorta thing like me) and the Alduin statue is one of the coolest collectibles I own (and I have a lot). I just cant justify $100 for this Collectors Edition... it doesnt come with anything that makes me HAVE to have it. Unless the figurine is a very generous scale (which judging by the box it might actually be) I cant see why this would be an extra $40. Still nothing that makes me HAVE to have it... I will just be getting the standard version this time around. Besides Ive already got the Mass Effect 3 Collectors Edition and Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City Collectors Edition to look forward to come March. Lets not forget Dragons Dogma and Max Payne 3 (if it actually comes out). And Street Fighter X Tekken (for anyone who isnt burnt out on SSFIV and MvC3).

@31 you should be happy you only had to pay $150 in most parts of the eu you had to pay 150 euro which is quite a bit more (now its available for 130 euro cause most people thought its not worth the high price - i mean it is highly limited). this will also happen to this ce IF it makes its way to the eu.

also you say a figure and an artbook make you pay 150$ but the same here and you wont pay 100$ (aside from the size of the figure), and here is even more "value stuff"?
