So a game that was never announced or shown is not in development? I'm trying to figure out what's news worthy here.


Nintendo claimed that it was in development at their E3 conference last year.


Actually THQ did, they even said "Nintendo wanted us to make a Saint RoW for the new console and they convinced us".

They're just liars...



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

Some music artists once leaked that his song was to be used for a Saint's Row PSP game.

It could be that this portable project moved to 3DS, but is now heading Vita.

They are just scared cause they know Gameloft has Gangstar and 9mm for mobile devices... can't beat Gameloft...

LMAO! I dont think i have ever seen such whining in the video game community. So let me get this straight, THQ doesnt announce the game themselves, my all evidence its a rumor. It was announced by Ninty and instead of getting mad at them, who as we have just seen have no qualms about announcing games that are not even in development; your mad at THQ who probably wasnt even planning a game for 3DS in the first place??? Be mad at Ninty, there the ones who got overzealous.


Which scenario seems more likely to you:

1. Overzealous Nintendo steals THQ's IP and slaps the Saints Row logo on their E3 presentation. Ha! You've gotta make Saints Row for 3DS now, bitches.

2. THQ exec, asked by Nintendo what games they plan to bring to the 3DS, randomly throws out the name "Saints Row" and gets THQ's marketing team to send over the Saints Row logo so that Nintendo can publicize it at E3. Lying executive gets his project shitcanned when he takes the proposal to his superior and has to deny the whole thing.

I don't give a shit about Saints Row, but if the question is whether Nintendo is a manipulative thief or whether THQ is staffed by incompetent baboons, I know where to lay my money.


Wow. holy shit , who gives a shit.

its not the end of the world.

You and I both care enough to open the thread, read some posts, and reply twice. Why are you suddenly feigning apathy?

Good that they came clean. Now if we can just get Rockstar to admit that Agent never existed.....

@pulluspardus  its been like this all gen man, nothing new.

@famousringo  i wasnt trying to call Ninty bad or stupid or anything like that. But they should have actually checked to see if they were in fact developing the damn thing before they even said anything and got people's hopes up/ Lets keep it reall, Ninty isnt always innocent, did they not just announce a damn Smash Bros game that wont START developing till the end of this year???


holy *&$@! screw this news and stop the presses! oniyide QUOTED SOMEONE! now THAT's news :P

anywho I think I saw this game on the lists or was it at the presentation last year. Did THQ actually announce this game?

oh and for those who are whining..ya'all know that from the Wii U 3rd party reveal THQ led the way with Darksiders right? they weren't that bad then were they now?

I'd prefer a remake of the Saints Row 1, that makes it as wild and fun as 2, but that's just me. Also, it should allow the option the Wiimote and nunchuck, as we know those can work for the shooting mechanics.

Heck, Darksiders 2 should have an optional control scheme that really shows off the Motion Plus. Now only would that make great use of the Wiimote as a legacy controller, it would also make it more than just a port.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
