Germany based youtube channel NiNTENDOMiNATiON downloaded the Japanese version of Devils Third and had a surprisingly positive first impression of the game. A few of the main points mentioned:

- Great character models with emphasis on their sex appeal. Special approval on how nice the main character, Ivan, looks running around half naked.

- Highly enjoyable “freaky” storyline and “amazing” cutscenes.

- Great sfx and music.

- He found the CoD style Online mode was really fun. There's no waiting time between matches, but he mentioned the limited amount of players as a possible reason.

- Single Player has lots of secrets.

- The gore seems to be censored in the Japanese version.

- Disk locked non-accessible English dub appears randomly during a glitch(!?). He had video proof.

- A graphics quality level in between the PS2 and PS3, with some framedrops.

- He seems to like Devil's Third more than Splatoon but might have been referring to the multiplayer. Or maybe hes not into squid girls.

I have two gripes about this preview. First I would have preferred more in depth details about the combat and other gameplay mechanics. Secondly, looking at his other videos, I noticed he played the game on the Hard difficulty level but sadly didn't mention anything about it. I really wish to know if the harder difficulty level possesses a more even challenge, given that some previewers have mentioned a stark contrast in difficulty between bosses and the rest of the game. Besides that, It was refreshing to see a mainly positive reaction vid for a change. And yes, I know that a source with the word Nintendo on its name isn't the most reliable, so you can keep your smartass comments to yourselves.

Nice to hear. Germans are trustworthy.

Damn, dat overacting, especially in the beginning! And I just watched Jeremy Irons over-the-top overacting in Dungeons & Dragons and thoght nothing could top that - until I saw that.

I enjoy how desperate people are getting for this game to be liked. Just like the new Fantastic 4, a turd is a turd, no matter how much a small handful of people like it.

Sounds unbiased, and trustworthy :p

At least the last part should be right

Better than Splatoon....? Now I know they are lying :p

Ok umm awesome!!

It might turn out to be a well reviewed game. But I'm going to hazard a guess that it will do as well as Madworld did on Wii, relative to install base. The number of people who own Wii U who will think it is a lot better than Splatoon will be a very small number. There is a very good reason why Splatoon is doing well on Wii U and that's because the style of the game fits the Wii U gamer demographic. Devil's Third not so much.

Lmao. You really hate Splatoon, don't you?
