Check out this write-up on NG3 RE impression. It's a nice detailed article, I recommend it:
http://www.2d-x.com/ninja-gaiden-3-razors-edge-for-wii-u-jusr-keeps-getting-better/

I never played NG3 past the second mission. Any thoughts on whether or not RE may actually be a good game?

Just read the article not too long ago, and I'm certain that I'll be asking for a WiiU this Christmas <.<

As for DmC, I can forgive the ridiculously streamlined gameplay and the bland weapon designs IF ONLY Vergil and Dante weren't so difficult to look at. Their designs are just BAD. Heck, they don't even look like brothers D:

The game might be good, who knows? But I'm still staying against the wall on this...

Ahh I mean come on... they've got the uhh... same chin! yea! ...yea... :/

On the brightside I'm interested in Razor's edge because of the multiplayer factor, Ayane(I wish for Momiji), and his dual wielding factor.

It's funny how he dual wields the blade of the archfiend and Jinran-maru, and it's nice to know what Jinran-maru's special abilities are from it. From what I can gather, to the most basic level it's:

True Dragon Sword - Light
Jinran-Maru - Wind
Blade of the Archfiend - Darkness

of course it's all self explanatory, but what really should've happened, is they should've had a place to drop in Hayate and Kasumi in this rather than just being mentioned on the side as just... "oh, nigga heard your sword got fucked into your arm so he sez here, take my sword". Like I wish he would've shown up to retrieve it, and some how helped out, ya know? Kasumi too, they teased us to hell in NGS2.

Those things are one of the things I've absolutely HATED about NG3: The lack of an appearance by Hayate and NO MENTION OF KASUMI WHATSOEVER oVo Crossing my fingers she appears in Razor's Edge because they have a crapload of explaining to do about our favorite runaway shinobi...

I don't care to have a DOA to ng cross over. Don't really see the point. It's all about Hayabusa son.

Platform exclusives really piss me off, and Team Ninja has become one of the worst offenders.

IGN on Ninja Gaiden 3 - 3/10
IGN on Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge - 7.6/10

At least it redeemed itself on IGN, but it's gonna come out mixed as usual...

Indeed. Destructoid gave it a 5.5/10 and Gamesradar rated it a 2.5/5 stars. Revamped gameplay/system/difficulty isn't enough for full on redemption it seems. The game still gets bashed for the graphics, but hey. IT's the gameplay that matters, am I right? :cool:

They're whining about the graphics on a Wii-U launch title? Of course the graphics are shit. It's nintendo. If you want a pretty-looking game, buy a decent PC.

I'm a huge fan of the fact that people take that to mean it's a good game. First, IGN has proven in their reviews that they're playing with very little knowledge of Ninja Gaiden. That's completely fine for most of their audience, so kudos to them. The problem is that their review makes it very clear that the core problems with NG3 were not addressed, even if they're not aware of it themselves.

TN went the way of simply layering things on top and didn't fix what was underneath. It's still trash. The majority of the reviews have been spot on in taking the game to task for being garbage.

I might get the game when I get a wii u just for the extra and I didn't even waste my time buying NG3.

Yesterday I preordered DmC solely for the Vergil DLC. I'm also picking up MGR next year. NG has at least one entry coming out soon that I'm interested in: NGS2+. I'll get that one and hope for no forced touch controls.
