Tecmo Koei revealed last week that Ninja Gaiden 3 will hit retailers March 20 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Tecmo Koei also confirmed that they will be releasing a Collector's Edition of Ninja Gaiden III, available exclusively at GameStop. The $100 bundle will include the game; a "Dual of the Masked" figure; art book; soundtrack CD; and a four-character demo of Dead or Alive 5, Tecmo's upcoming fighting game which is set to release later this year.
Those who pre-order the standard version of the game from Amazon or GameStop will also get access to a Dead or Alive 5 demo, but gamers will be limited to two playable characters. The Amazon pre-order demo features Ayane and Hyate, while GameStop's demo includes Ninja Gaiden star Ryu Hyabusa and Dead or Alive's Hitomi.
Tecmo Koei also released a TON of screenshots for Ninja Gaiden 3. So many images were released that we can't show them all here, but we've provided a link to the Ninja Gaiden 3 images area so that you don't miss anything!
