Nintendo of America drops plans for Devil's Third US release

So they have nothing coming out, nothing left to release and yet they still wont bring this game over. That's not a good sign for this game! Can't believe anyone ever hyped this. People will still defend Nintendo.

They saw the graphics and were like 'f*ck this shit i ain't touching even with a 10 foot pole'

@silversix_: This is the type of game that gets hyped when you haven't got anything else. Release this on PC or a console with a future and no one notices.

I swore I'd never use this gif. But this idiot doesn't think your "body is ready" for Devils Third. LOL

It's the opposite of vaporware - a finished product too caught up in industry trouble to get out the door.

Even though I can tell the game will be bad, this is pretty shitty.

If it's releasing everywhere else it should release in NA as well, NOA are just being dicks again like with the Wii RPG's.

This thread makes me want to dig out the last thread about the game where everybody claimed that it looked super fun and super awesome to compare the users who posted now and then. Too bad that I'm too lazy.

Well, again, I can't blame NoA on this, because Nintendo and the M rated audience NEVER caught on (bar the N64 with Perfect Dark) and this has been proven since the GAMECUBE. Bayonetta 2 selling as bad as it did only continued that (as I feared it would).

It makes perfect sense if they know the game is bad. I mean even if it's good it likely would be a bad bet financially. Bayonetta 2 by all accounts was a great game, and yet it sold like hot garbage. What is the point of NoA stamping their name on a game that will likely be rubbish, and also will not sell... at all. The only stupid thing Nintendo did was ever officially "hype" this game as someting worthwhile and make it like they were "rescuing" it.

Also it's not like the game can't come to Wii-U. Although considering there are effectively no publishers of Wii-U games in North America I'm not sure who would bother.

I'll buy a wiiu in the clearance aisle of CVS soon... Not yet though.

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/10/devils-third-wont-be-published-by-nintendo-of-america-but-it-is-coming-here/

It is coming but a different publisher is releasing. Xseed most likely. also why did itagaki go to Nintendo in the first place if they're not going to support a worldwide release?

@jg4xchamp: don't disagree about devils third, but...

There are more JP console devs than you mention, NIS

Xseed

Arx system works(so)

Gust

Compile heart

Sega

SCEJ

Level 5

Capcom

The metal gear studio (what's left of it)

Namco bandi

Trip ace

Square enix

Probably missing a bunch others

Japanese console game making isn't dead, well its not dead on PS4 , Vita, and 3ds... Anywhere else ...yeah.. But since I don't own Microsoft systems or the wiiu, its fine by me.

Looking forward to

Persona 5

Disgaea 5

Dragon quest heroes

Neir 2

Star Ocean 5

Last Guardian

Yakuza 5

Mgs5

Ff7 remake

Ff15

Tales of zestria

Eterian odyessy 2 remake

So yeah lots of jrpgs and JP games in general for PlayStation and some for 3ds.

Xbox fans am cry :0

Bad Wii U news?

I don't imagine any such person exists.

Nothing coming out?

Rodea the Sky Soldier in september. Super Mario Maker in September. Xenoblade Chronicles X in December. Star Fox Zero this fall. Yoshi Woolly World in NA this October. Fatal Frame this fall.

Played it, I'd recommend to those of you still wanting it to reconsider your positions. I'm being serious.

You mean its crapola?

It always looked bad. I just hoped beyond hope that at least the gameplay would be fun. I'm a fan of weird games with bad graphics. (Deadly Premonition.)

Probably before E3.

Oh, well, it's not like the Wii-U doesn't have a wealth of games coming out this year...oh, wait, it fucking doesn't.

Wrong.

The game is STILL coming to North America. It's just being handled by a different publisher.

That's probably 1 of the reasons why I got a PS2 instead.

It's unfortunate, but the game does look awfully rough. Itagaki's best days are long behind him I feel.

An early one.

I don't think Nintendo really has a choice in this. They have to release this in the US. Cause look at the Wii U's Library. It needs as many exclusives it can get to justify the Wii U owners.

@93BlackHawk93: That's what they said about The Conduit and they were dreaming then too! LOL

Siliconera: Devil’s Third Will Be Coming To The United States Via Another Publisher

@GameboyTroy: Well it looks like there's hope after all.

So can we actually confirm how much Input or work Nintendo actually puts in these ''rescued'' games? Like Did they actually have any hand in games like Razor's Edge, W101, or Bayonetta 2? or is it simply a budget they provide?

I only ask because I can't imagine Nintendo refusing to release something, they actually had a hand in developing.

Between Razor's Edge, lost worlds, Sonic Boom, and Devil's Third. Maybe whoever money hats at Nintendo just isn't very good at it.

Have not touched my Ps2 in ages, you know how memories goes, i just mean this feels like ps2 to me cuz so very dated graphic

NOA comes off as being super cheap to me. They don't take risks with releasing certain games and hardware here (new 3DS, xenoblade, ect) and seem to limit what they do release (Majoros Mask 3DS, amiibo) because they'd rather their products be sold out than run the "horrible" risk of having extra stock sitting on store shelves.

Nice Metal Slug Defense gif. You play?

On topic: This has already been debunked by itagaki himself. It's still coming people.

All fanboys are all created equally.

This is fucking bullshit! Devil's third was one of the main reasons I kept my Wii U. Nintendo are a bunch of idiots. This really ticked me off.

@XboxStache: It appears that its going to be published by someone else in the west. Just not Nintendo.

Oh.

Well...now I really feel stupid.

@Seabas989: Not sure what your point is. Those games were not good. But they weren't considered ugly.

Yep, they are definitely giving up on the Wii U.

Worst console in a decade or more continues to get even worse. Not that this game looked good but something is always better than nothing.

Lol at people praising Disaster. That game was as perfectly titled. A bad ps1 game in quality.

@Bread_or_Decide: So I say there is nothing coming out and you give me a list of six games, two of which are niche, and two of which are severely underwhelming, and that's all there is. My point still stands a lot.

You'd think Nintendo wouldn't be in a position to cancel any of the few games that are actually on their way.

Oh, and I've not heard any credible "rumours" that it's getting published by someone else. It could happen, but it's not actually happened yet and finding someone to put the effort in for the Nintendo market might be difficult considering the sales of non Nintendo developed games.

It still looks fun. Not very polished but fun. Shame it's not coming over.

Yes, sheep were delusional when they said The Conduit looked like a 360 game but let's not get stupid about this. Devil's Third in no way looks like a PS2 game. It looks like a rough 360 game.

Actually, Haze and Too Human were both considered to be visually supbar.

@GreySeal9: Sarcasm aside, I'll give you that one.

Can't blame them. The Wii U is a super fun console with some excellent stuff on it, but the Wii U era has been nightmarishly messy. I would start over too!

Was never planning on buying anyways. After what happened with Ninja Gaiden, no plans to buy any of his games on any platform.

What happened with Ninja Gaiden? Are you talking about the rubbish 3rd game?

Yes and even II soured my taste to what was my fondest memories of the NES with 1 &2 and NG and NG Black on Xbox.

I think Itagaki didn't make NG3.

NG3 looks pretty tragic tho. I refuse to play it.

The Conduit looked like shit with the only bright side being the controls. I remember IGN hyping that shit up (lolIGN) and remember some sheep hyping it (most of them are gone) because of IGN.

I didn't hype it nor bought it but I also think all fanboys will hype up anything. I do remember cows and lemmings hyping up shit too.

Devils Third looked unfinished and unpolished. Maybe its fun for 15 mins but that's about it.

Speaking of the Wii, I bought Red Steel 2 back in 2011. While it looked nice for a Wii game, I thought the game overall sucked. That being said there were some great 3rd party games for the Wii.
