Two generations behind was nintendo really saying that? Almost all nintendo games look like two generations behind with their constant cartoony look, imo.

First, their games don't all look two gens behind.  Maybe one gen, given the Wii and Wii U's specs.  Second, no Nintendo didn't say that according to the video.  The video says that media sources said that.  Reviewers, in other words.  


I said in my opinion. I think these reviewers should understand that AAA direction is harder to programm.

I've been saying for awhile now that if Nintendo begins developing or publishing "mature content" games then they need a wholly-owned subsidiary that can operate as an alternative publishing wing.  That would keep the name "Nintendo" clean while allowing them to publish whatever they wanted.  Kind of like how Disney wouldn't publish adult content but they owned Miramax, which did publish adult content.  The Nintendo brand itself could remain "family friendly" and they could still bring any stray Devil's Third type games over.

Well they don't have much problem putting the Nintendo logo in games like Bayonetta, Fatal Frame, Eternal Darkness and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

disappointing... the MP looked like it had some potential

The game was playable at the Japan Expo in paris last week, I tried the solo campaign just last sunday and I can say my impressions are exactly the same.

The framerate is awful, the graphics are way behind, and I didn't had any fun playing it. 

I understand now why the game was a complete no-show at E3.

Too bad, because it was my second most anticipated game on WiiU this year (after splatoon)

Starfox was good though, not great, but good

I guess NOA thought Wii Party U was high quality enough to get a retail release.


difference they also thought that it had a good chance to at least make money Devil's Third had flop harder then Wonderful 101 written all over it.


Why wouldn't they think a shooter would sell in the US, regardless of quality. As far as genres go, shooters are the safest bet. Even pure trash shooters can sell half a million. How much has The Order 1886 sold?

To be brutally honest the game looks very generic gameplay wise I would lump to together with games like Gow, uncharted, ninja blade infamous and so on, except those had better production values at least.
If I were nintendo I would hype the game up as the second coming (lets be honest all a game need to sell is hype) and let it be, because they really can't afford to be cancelling games no matter how bad it is, they are determined to shake that consumer confidence.

you would have a point if Devil's Third was for any other system that isn't the Wii U where its main genre is platformers hell go look up the sales for CoD on Wii U its clear that the Wii U audience isn't interested in shooters

Rofl.  That's hilariously awful.

That aside, I'm sure quality isn't the reason.  Wonder what the real reason is.

NOA must be puzzled on how to really market a game like this. I for one always thought they should have embraced the cheesy, grindhouse Jean Claude Van Damme nature the title seems to have. A sort of Duke Nukem type of thing. I think that went over their heads a long time ago.

Not to sound harsh, but I'd imagine perhaps someone at NOA would have rather found a western dev to launch a new mature online shooter/hack-n-slash. 

Maybe it's too mature or racy. Just imagine an AO rated game from Nintendo. Dunno if Nintendo would even be allowed to sell such a game in the eShop. I doubt this would be the case though for this game, but you never know.

edit: @OP: could you add a link for the vid? can't see it otherwise.

Fuck me in the ass. I've wanted this game since it was first announced. This may be a "smart" business decision to NoA but it's not a smart business decision to screw over your loyal Wii U fanbase in North America. Give us a digital release, at least.



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P
