Tomonobu Itagaki - a big name but we all know that one person cannot make or break a game.

 when people said "it's look like PS1 games " i thought is a little bit over react or troling , but then you showed this, i believe now this games graphic so much worse then PS1 games

I don't necessarily disagree with the first bold. They must have thought it was fixable, but clearly they were wrong.

I disagree with this, quality for me is part of the equation. If this is 7/10 'bad' game, then yes I think it's unfortunate that Nintendo is not following through, but if it's 4/10 bad then I agree. The developer has taken Nintendo's money and had the responsibility to produce a decent game that meets some kind of minimum standards. They can't phone it in, then expect that the publisher is going to enthusiastically get behind distribution and marketing, unless those were specifically called out in the contract.

I don't think it's lack of respect, it's not like Nintendo hasn't sent it's own first party games to die, they are just extremely (too)tight with their distribution and marketing budgets. As for regional disparity, Nintendo has always left publishing decisions up to the regional offices, that's not new. Remember this is the same NOA that initially passed on Xenoblade Chronicles, one of last generations most critically acclaimed games.

I agree that Nintendo is, at times, too tight with money, I just don't think this instance is particularly bad. The developer was given their chance to make the game, they still got paid and people can still pay the game if they want to. 

I was really looking forward to this game. Too bad

Was the first nintendo published wii u game I had no interest in since I got the system two years ago BEFORE it was confirmed to be trash. NoA would be wise to pass on this; sometimes games just don't work out.

Woah... is it that bad?

Well... I prefer to have a "wait and see" approach to that game. People said the same thing about ZombiU and, in the end, it was a quite enjoyable game, so much that Ubisoft will launch it on other platforms. 

I´m gonna wait for youtube gameplay videos before deciding to get it.  These times it´s hard for me to trust in any videogame critics.

There are plenty of gameplay videos on Youtube right now bro, it doesnt help the case tho...it looks BAD.

I have heard that the multiplayer is really fun. But in all blunt honesty, there has never been a point in gaming history where Itagaki games were EVER really known for solid cameras/mechanics/story/anything. They've always been pretty iffy, even though DoA is ok. So considering I've never liked his Ninja Gaiden games, I really did not expect this to be any better, on a fundamental level, no matter what console it would have wound up on.

Annnnd folks, we have a contender of Battle of Worst Wii U Titles....

Sonic Boom vs. Devil's Third!!!

It's the kind of prejudice on display here by the majority in this thread that I cannot stand.
