Looking at how hush they are and how little Nintendo has shown us about this game as well as the developers themselves its probably all true.

Wow, if this is true then NOA is stupid. Nintendo paid to make this game so at least they can publish it as well.

But if it is a shit game like the rumours say then why let it release in such a state?

Your list of PS3 games is absolutely fucking awful.

Unless the game is a mess (bugs, glitches, bad framerate) they should release it, even if it means taking a reputation hit and lowering Wii U's overall metascore (assuming the game really is that bad).

This should be replaced with Original Nintendo Fun Police badge.

The game doesn't look good so I'm not interested anyway.

Honestly, I get the feeling that there is something related to the game, maybe some sort of plot point or theme that NoA is scared of.

Which is strange because I thought after the release of Bayonetta 2 and the upcoming release (although the rumors of it being eShop only seem more and more likely) of the newest Fatal Frame would show that NoA had climbed out of the family friendly title only hole they dug for themselves during the height of the Wii era.

Even if the game isn't up to Nintendo's normal quality standards as long as it isn't broken, it could have helped fill a much needed hole in the Wii U's schedule and/or catalog of games. Sure they might have gotten someone else to publish it but why even bother with all that hassle if they could just drop it themselves?

Very interesting stuff, but a bit irrelevant to what we were discussing (Vita releases Sony had skipped) :P

NoA needs new upper management imo. Some of the descisions that they make are just mind-boggling.

It would have been so much easier if Wii U doesn't have a region lock.
