E311 | Ninja Gaiden 3 Using Touch-Screen Controls

Tecmo Koei's Team Ninja has confirmed it will be using touch-screen controls for Ninja Gaiden 3 on Wii U, with a control option that works in a similar way to how the excellent Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on Nintendo DS handled.

The Wii U version of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge will be somewhat more unique than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, thanks to the Wii U controller's additional features, although a traditional control set-up will also be up for grabs.

It was almost like fate that we're making making Ninja Gaiden 3 and then we have the option to bring in Dragon Sword controls, that kind of gameplay, to a high spec console version. We feel we'll be able to give players a new kind of gameplay, a new feel with the new controller.
- Yosuke Hayashi, Head of Team Ninja.

Did you enjoy Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword enough to be pleased that the control set-up will be an option on Wii U?
