Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Xbox Controls

Action games → Part of the Ninja Gaiden collection →

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is Team Ninja's reworked cut of the third Ryu Hayabusa hack-and-slash, sold on PC as part of the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection. The PC version is played on a controller only (there is no keyboard or mouse scheme), so these are the default pad bindings from Koei Tecmo's own manual, including the bow, Ninpo and wall-climbing inputs.
