Ninja Gaiden 3 Release Date, Collector's Edition Announced

Tecmo Koei America revealed today that Ninja Gaiden 3 will be shipping on March 20th for the PS3 and Xbox 360. They also revealed details on a Collector's Edition and pre-order bonuses.

If you pre-order NG3 through GameStop or Amazon, you'll get a two-character demo from the upcoming fighting game Dead or Alive 5. GameStop customers will get access to NG's Hayabusa and DOA's Hitomi in this demo. Pre-ordering through Amazon will let you experience the demo with DOA's Ayane and Hayate.

However, you can get access to all four characters by purchasing the $99 Collector's Edition. The NG3 Collector's Edition also includes an exclusive art book, soundtrack, and "Duel of the Masked" figure. The CE will only be available through GameStop and EB Games.

NG3 once again stars Ryu Hayabusa. The all-new story has been written by Masato Kato, who also penned the original NES series. This will be the first next-gen game in the series not to be directed by Tomonobu Itagaki.
