Ninja Gaiden 3 also joins the backward compatibility list
It’s wild to think about whereTrialsstarted and how far the series has gone. For better or worse,it’s an institution at this point. If you’re ever feeling wistful about the care-free Xbox Live Arcade days, it’s not too late to revisitTrials Evolutionand rekindle your dormant leaderboard feuds. The challenging time-trial platformer is playable on Xbox One through the backward compatibility program.
Trials HDis also compatible, in case you missed that news, butEvolutionis arguably the fan favorite. While I still enjoy the series to this day, most of my fond memories are tied up with these two titles.

And that’s not all for Xbox 360 fans. Not long ago, Microsoft added support forNinja Gaiden IIon Xbox One, and as of today, it’s possible to continue Ryu’s crimson-soaked saga on the same console.Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edgeis backward compatible. Ayane, Momiji, and Kasumi–the gang’s all here.
I have zero interest inNinja Gaiden 3, if I’m being blunt, but it’s good to see all three games represented.
