It looks better than the PS4 version.

Yeah PS4 owners are really missing out on this one

What if it turns out to be really good? :)

Then WiiU owners get another great game to play! 

That will do for me :)

In all seriousness though. It would flop hard even if it was the second coming of Jesus. Niche game on a niche console. That's not the game's fault but it's what's going to happen.

Better and less niche games have flopped by being exclusive to the wrong console.


Every game is a niche game. The game fills the niche. Anyway, it seems like it could have quite a broad user base. Hard to say though, it might flop, it might not, I plan to get it from what I have seen so far, I think it looks fun.

I don't see how this game cannot flop. Even if it gets stellar reviews and 200 GOTY awards(which it won't) it will barely sell more than a few 100k if at all.
Not even Bayo 2 got to 500k so far and that is with critical acclaim and lots of news coverage. Most Wii U owners don't even know DT exists. Remember No More Heroes? Sold barely above 500k despite being somewhat popular and released on sales juggernaut Wii.

Unless Nintendo gets its marketing machine rolling for this game I don't see it selling above 200k LT.


I agree, they need to get off their lazy asses with marketing, no doubt about that. Both those games you mentioned have potentially smaller niches than what could be a potentially broad market for DT. Bayonetta, despite being highly praised, is still a sexual, action oriented game developed by platinum games which has never had mass appeal unfortunately. Similar thing with No More Heroes, it is a good game but again, an odd approach to an open world game, weird cell shaded graphic and art direction. DT has the potential of appealing to the shooter fans as well as action fans, and the bloodfest fans. That helps encompass some COD guys with the multiplayer, plus single player, and the third person action of games like GOW and Ninja Gaiden. It might totally backfire and not hit the spot for many, but it does have a possiblity of hitting all the bullseyes. Plus the option of player created maps might appeal to multiplayer fans. 

I might be completely wrong though lol.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

I cant imagine Devils third doing anywhere close to bayonetta 2.
Don't know if it will suck, (initial impressions werent so good) but we all know it will pretty much flop

I don't know about "suck", but it will flop cause it's on Wii U.

Honestly probably wouldn't do much on any of the consoles.

That was really funny man!



Playing Xenoblade 2 before I buy Xenoblade 3 (otherwise I couldn't wait to play 3).

Can they announce a new Fire Emblem? A remake of Genealogy or Tellius would suffice !

1 Reason why Devil's Third will receive praise and hype despite the mediocre game-play reveal.

1. It's a Nintendo exclusive.


Seriously, what's with the excuses and rationalizations? If this game had been an Xbox/Playstation exclusive, the world would be ignoring the hell out of it right now. If Nintendo fans commented at all, it would be to say that it's just another violent shooter and they're glad such games are skipping the Wii U. It looked exceedingly average. If it gains improvements across the board, as the developer promised, then that's great, but for now, it deserves very little attention. Trying to create pre-made excuses for why it might get poor reviews is kind of silly at this point.

I don't know if you'll take this as a compliment or as an affront, this reads like a Rol thread :)
