this is probably right. i thought that with them publishing the game, it wouldn't appear elsewhere. legends is being published by nintendo in japan, but i guess that doesn't mean anything.

The game uses Murfy though...

 

[Joe Lee]

How the mighty have fallen.

 

[BeEatNU]

another NG3?

starting to get...kinda old...

 

[BlackJace]

Welp, I bought a Wii U for this 3 weeks ago. I only sort of regret it, but I was able to play it now and that's what I needed.

You bought a Wii U for this game?

 

[Goody]

Funny to think that somewhere out there, I'm sure of it, there is someone who will buying this game for the third time at full price.

Hayashit doesn't count.

 

[jello44]

Yeah, and that game stayed on Xbox 360. The PS3 got a heavily modified version, with less action on screen, and reduced gore and blood.

They also got some extra modes and Ayane as a playable character.

 

[ULTROS!]

So should I expect a Bayonetta Sigma 2 in the near future for PS3 and 360 (or PS4 and 720)?

 

[RangerBAD]

I actually beat the original. Do I win prize?

If you do, let me know. I like prizes.

In all seriousness,

Spoiler

yes

.

 

[faridmon]

This is just a shitty practice. Hope the game bombs. They could have at least announce this at the same time as the WiiU version, but no, they had to pretend that it was exclusive and all.

Screw Team Ninja!

 

[shinobi602]

Surely they can't ask full price for this.

"Here's our shitty game. Enjoy!"

"Oh we fucked that one up. Here's a slightly better version for full price, again. Enjoy!"

 

[Supermanisdead]

You can't throw some new weapons and characters on a 3/10 game and make it good. Apologize and cancel this game yadda yadda.

 

[Metallix87]

They also got some extra modes and Ayane as a playable character.

My point was, the game was drastically different in Sigma 2 form. This time, it seems like there's less of a difference. It's basically some added bells and whistles on top of the Wii U game.

 

[klee123]

Better graphics too.

Besides, what's stopping Tecmo changing the name to Sigma 3 in the west?

 

[Metallix87]

and better graphics.

Not exactly. Models feature fewer polygons, and there are fewer enemies on screen. Plus, without blood and gore, there's a lot less going on.

 

[jello44]

Not unless Nintendo says so. They are funding that one.

 

[Aquamarine]

By letting Tecmo Koei publish it in Japan initially, Nintendo shows that they really give don't a shit about keeping the game exclusive over there.

 

[NateDrake]

I beat the original and the Wii U version! Can I get the same prize as you?

 

[ULTROS!]

I hope you're not this guy too.

[Ridley327]

Probably nothing, but perhaps they're better off leveraging the better received Razor's Edge for the 360/PS3 release?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

having fulfilled a morbid curiosity I'd say it was more like observing proof of concept

I beat the original

Shit was a Vertical Slice

 

[klee123]

Sigma 2 makes it up with higher resolution and overall better detail and smoother frame rate.

 

[Angelus Errare]

No, that would be the original NG3 release on PS3/360. I would've had to buy a Wii U next month for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate anyway. Not a big deal.

Nah Wii U beta tested too. You guys beta tested the new build :3

Team Ninja is the new Google

BETA.EVERYTHING

 

[FourMyle]

Betrayed

 

[SapientWolf]

It's not healthy to reward self harm.

 

[Metallix87]

Sigma 2 makes it up with higher resolution and overall better detail and smoother frame rate.

Sorry, I don't consider that a good trade.

 

[Yagharek]

I think going by the history of the franchise, what with Sigma versions and now Razor's Edge, it was always safe to assume it would turn up elsewhere down the line.

I can't imagine many people would be genuinely shocked by this if they had been aware of the series' porting history since the original XBox release.

 

[cloudyy]

That's funny, how many re-rereleases will they need until it gets good?

 

[shungokusatsu]

Yeah, and that game stayed on Xbox 360. The PS3 got a heavily modified version, with less action on screen, and reduced gore and blood.

They pulled the gore and blood because it made the 360 version run like shit. Remember the legendary staircase of lag? It's a shame, I still prefer the 360 version purely for the ultra violence. But at least reviews punished Team Ninja for removing the gore in hopes to teach them a lesson, but that unfortunately didn't work.

 

[DR2K]

Been waiting for NG3 to come out for years. About time.

Steps of lag was awesome.

One of the most memorable parts of the game.

Tecmo Koei + Nintendo's relationship may be different from Microsoft + Tecmo's relationship.

 

[Revan]

I wonder if us original beta testers will get a content patch.....

Spoiler

yeah I'm dreaming LOL

 

[Takao]

If this is JP only why would there be a 360 SKU?

 

[ArjanN]

Will wait for Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge: Sigma for ps4, 720 and iPhone 6

By the time they'll eventually get round to porting this to PC it should be pretty good.

So should I expect a Bayonetta Sigma 2 in the near future for PS3 and 360 (or PS4 and 720)?

Let's hope so.

 

[EDarkness]

I don't care that it's making the jump from the Wii U, but re-releasing the game again on the same systems it was originally released on is kinda wrong. I hope no one buys it so that they can stop that practice.

Seeing as how the original release of NG3 was a sales disaster, you may get your wish!

 

[RangerBAD]

Tecmo-Koei likes to throw money away.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Hope it's not difficult for them to provide the Ninja Trials and extra costumes to Wii U owners, but honestly that's so little compared to the sheet amount they did in the first place on Wii U.

Here's a thought; how will the game look and run now, since the added dismemberment was the culprit behind the extra bits of slowdown, could be interesting to see if it runs even worse on PS3 or 360, depends if they better optimize it, what part of a console deals with this, CPU, GPU, or possibly RAM?

 

[Erethian]

I don't care that it's making the jump from the Wii U, but re-releasing the game again on the same systems it was originally released on is kinda wrong. I hope no one buys it so that they can stop that practice.

It's also likely to be a full-priced release in Japan, for extra hilarity.

Not unless Nintendo says so. They are funding that one.

It won't surprise me if Nintendo does something like what they did with Fatal Frame 4 and acquire the sole publishing rights to Bayonetta 2.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

So should I expect a Bayonetta Sigma 2 in the near future for PS3 and 360 (or PS4 and 720)?

Not unless Nintendo goes 3rd party in the near future.

 

[toastyToast]

Nintendo got the Microsoft treatment from Team Ninja dog lol

 

[Takao]

Ya'll are missing the obvious Ninja Gaiden Sigma 3+ Razor's Edge for Vita.

 

[Ridley327]

Ya'll are missing the obvious Ninja Gaiden Sigma 3+ Razor's Edge for Vita.

Now intentionally 30 fps and sub-HD.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Let's hope so.

Absolutely NOT happening, not only is Nintendo funding the game (Platinum credits Nintendo for the game's survival), but Nintendo is publishing this worldwide.

It's not happening, just accept it.

 

[AniHawk]

The game uses Murfy though...

they could just have the player control rayman in those segments. or use the analog stick.

 

[klee123]

Sorry, I don't consider that a good trade.

It was a much better trade for me since I didn't have to put up with sections which ran like shit.

Not to mention the better pacing by removing the crappy puzzles sections which added nothing to the experience whatsoever.

Let's not even get started with Master Ninja Mode on NG2.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

So I spent $400 on this piece of shit machine just for this turd and, having not even played the game yet, I find out I could've just waited and had it alongside Sigmas 1 and 2 on my PS3? FUCK YOU SHITWATA, FUCK YOU HAYASHIT, FUCK EVERYTHING

Spoiler

lol

 

[bobbychalkers]

So should I expect a Bayonetta Sigma 2 in the near future for PS3 and 360 (or PS4 and 720)?

We know for sure that Nintendo is putting their money up for this one. Unless Platinum Games rebuilds the game on Sega's dime (which probably won't happen). I wouldn't get my hopes up.

 

[a Master Ninja]

I used to love this franchise...
