Ninja Gaiden 3 is still in development for Nintendo’s forthcoming Wii U home console, but is not being worked on in parallel with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, publisher Tecmo Koei has revealed.

“It is still there,” said TK’s Peter Garza, during an interview with VG247. “It’s not being developed in parallel, but we do have the game up and running on the dev hardware. We’re still playing with control schemes to see what would be fun with Wii U, but it’s definitely there and it’s definitely getting worked on.”

When asked how much the hardware has been pushed by developer Team Ninja, Garza said that things were only just getting started.

“Right now, we’re at a very early stage, so we can’t say that we’re pushing it to its limits right now.”

He added: “But I can tell you that the team being what it is is definitely interested in pushing the hardware as hard as it can. With 3DS, when we brought out Dead or Alive: Dimensions, that was one of the best looking 3DS games out there.”

“And we really wanted to use whatever hardware we were on, we want to use to its full potential and really push that. Not just in spec, but the features that make that hardware unique. So for right now with Wii U, we’re just starting to know what Wii U is and how we can make it fun.”

Ninja Gaiden 3 launches next year, and will be available for Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360. We’re still waiting for launch details regarding Nintendo’s new console, though.
