In addition to Ayane – and, of course, Ryu Hayabusa – Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge will have more playable characters following its November 18 launch on Wii U. According to a press release issued by Nintendo today, additional playable characters will be released sometime after launch as free DLC.
"More information about these characters will be revealed at a later time," so we can't yet tell you if they'll be from Dead or Alive, or if you'll blush when looking at them. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/25/ni...lc-characters/
