Nintendo should snipe funding of Devil's Third.


THQ ditched that months ago man

It's being funded by a Korean publisher that has traditionally made F2P games.

Huh, we were just discussing Devil's Third in the mod chat yesterday, and the video on the official site still portrays THQ.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

There'll be no more mid-range developers left to make games for Wii U at this rate.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

This is all the Wi´s and Nintendo´s fault

Maybe THQ are still signed on as a distributor for the console versions, but they definitely aren't funding the game anymore.

It's only a joke that started years ago, when some people involved in the videogames indistry blamed Nintendo and the Wii for fragmenting the market between "hardcore" and "casuals". It was a statement so lame that it became a joke that is used to explain all the disasters that happen.

If you stay here you'll see it used in another events not related to videogames (like last year's volcano in Iceland, etc).

You know, that could end being like a boomerang.

With only big publishers in the market that ignore WiiU (something that we still have to see if happens or not), there would be a lot more small companies that will work in mobile and/or download games. That, would also mean less games to buy on consoles as even the likes of EA or Activision can't produce enough games for every month of the year, so there would be less reasons to buy consoles.

That is, unless you have done your homework and have a very strong and appealing 1st party lineup and have tightened your relationship with those small devs, something that Nintendo seems to have done their with the new eShop.

Btw, if that happens (not likely), then you have to take into consideration that with less consoles there would be less games sold so even the big publishers would disappear or be forced to scale back the number of AAA and start making those mid-range games, games that would also be able to run on the WiiU, an oportunity that they will take as they will need that money.
