Nintendo of America Confirms Plans to Bring Devil's Third to Region

Hmm, I don't know. Part of me is thinking this is just a cover, and they're not actually publishing it.

Please let it be good news/ PLEASE LET IT BE GOOD NEWS!

Ever since E3 people have been have been complaining about almost everything and I mean sure some of their complaints have been justified. But a lot more have just been over exaggerations and stuff people made up just so their exaggerated anger can feel justified. Then you have the people who think nintendo is never going to release anymore games on the Wii U, who fears would be understandable IF nintendo didn't do directs and if we didn't have two years left with the thing. This has got annoying fast. Willing to bet any money this same people come here and crow if/when this game gets 5s or 6s. Stupid-whiney-doom-mongereors.

Oh. Well how about that. Now I wonder if the rumours about the game being terrible are true too. Guess we'll have to wait until the embargo lifts.

Direct! Direct! Direct! Its so obvious!

What-? How-!? WHY-????

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIOOONS!!!

All I got from this is how WRONG the ever so trusty unseen64 were. Now will people please stop taking their rumors as fact.

So much about the credibility of Unseen64 and the NX rumours...

All this rumour stuff is interesting but I'd be surprised if the game itself is even half decent. I hope I'm wrong though.

Nothing is confirmed until Nintendo says so. You all had me worried for nothing. Thanks Nintendolife.

Maybe they finally heard the complaints!

What a twist. As long as NoA is being truthful then that shows just how important it is for everyone to wait and hear from the source itself, instead of listening to rumors. Nonetheless it is good news.

I should also mention that Itigaki did say that the rumor's shouldn't be trusted. Feel like that should be mentioned.

did NOA eat snicker then planning to release the game to the NA?

@Koopa-King

It almost seems too soon. But maybe they'll quell some other complaints while they're at it.

You mean the reliable and highly regarded Unseen64 were not correct? And there was me thinking that twitter guy was the saviour of videogames (oh no wait, that's just his complex).

This could be a turkey, but I sense a cult favourite in the making.

@DarthNocturnal Everything is too early or too late for Nintendo these days.

im not surprised. Itagaki said that we should not believe everything what we read and that we should trust him so i did and i was right ^o^
but its nintendos own fault... so terrible they advertise the game >,<

but i really cant wait to play this! I finished yoshis woolly world a few days ago so now im waiting for the devils third release next month ^o^

@Weird Well I agree they need to advertise the game much better this whole fiasco was not Nintendo's fault. Blame Unseen64 for rumors that slowly grew out of control. Then people start pointing fingers which really shouldn't have to be pointed.

This doesn't affect Unseen64's credibility at all. At the time of the reporting, NoA had dropped it. All this means is that either a) they did a complete 180 in response to the backlash, or b) The game is still coming, but under someone else. Option B is more likely, as NoA still has to certify it's release here, which could count as them "bringing it here", even though someone else is publishing.

@gamermole Yeah...that's what I just love about this .

What was up with the silence in the first place, Big N? E3 was the perfect time to show this off after a year's silence and you didn't. Dang it, you need to work on your PR!

But hey, I just wanted to see this game out in da states. I could care less who brings it out. Devils third BABY!

What a 180! I would find it quite amusing if the rumors WERE true and NOA just changed their minds again when they saw the negative reaction.

Sounds like there will be a special Nintendo Direct coming up soon.

It was fun and somewhat annoying reading all the reactions here about the rumors. Psychology students must be having a ball with us, makes for a good class project.

All that drama for nothing. Not one week of peace.

Sounds like Unseen64 was full of crap on this one. I will not believe his NX rumors either.

What backlash? Who cares who publishes the game?!

I kind of think nintemdo was planning on a direct for this game sometime in the next month or so...before the launch date we know of. But the crazy fans we are forced Nintendo to say something so we don't hate them any longer.

i know people are excited for this one, but it still looks like trash. Europe can keep it.

@daveh30 We only saw small snippets of gameplay from a year ago. Its a little silly to judge it currently without seeing it NOW.

Why is it the universe feels the need to make me incorrect about things when I say them on my podcast? Like seriously?
First Shenmue III, the FF VII.
How long will I be right about Half Life 3 before the universe corrects me?

Admittingly, its my fault for believing the rumor so I guess this one is me, but still.

@IceClimbers I really don't see that being the case in option A, for one main reason. Soon after the rumor started spreading, Itigaki himself responded to them by saying that we shouldn't trust them. Unless I'm missing something, the only reason I wouldn't believe him, is if NoA was lying to him, but considering the course of events right now, I find that unlikely. In the end it doesn't really matter since the game is still coming to NA.

Edit: Apparently Unseen64 has also placed the blame on Liam and has made his twitter account private.

I'm kind of shocked they bothered to clarify this. They normally let lies snowball but I guess they realised a game they paid for was getting too much nonsense spoken about it. This was a lightning quick response by recent Nintendo standards....

@ZeroZX-Dev what do you know about HL3...? please share... My theory is that Valve are waiting for ray tracing to be feasible for gaming so they can make a game that looks like nothing seen before. I just hope they don't try to 'raise the bar for emotions in gaming' like every overly hyped gaming epic seems to try these days...

Half Life 3 - Gordon's First Baby!

I also don't understand why people give 2 sh#ts about who is publishing the game. What difference does it make, as long the game gets released?

So why were people all in a tizzy again? Oh right, because some random internet people said so...

Maybe NoA caught wind of the rumors, read more internet negativity, and said... "We better make sure these people are wrong, lets change our mind and retain our control." Lol!

@VR32F1END lol. I'm sure they did.

Wish it was coming to ps4/ Xbox one, feels like a real waste coming to the Wii U

how bout this conspiracy theory:
NOA changed their minds to publish Devil's Third in order to discredit Unseen 64 because they have riled up Nintendo fans by saying the NX won't be nearly as powerful as the PS4.
Ya i know, I'm reaching.......

@hYdeks I disagree, the Wii U needs some more mature content. Bayonetta is amazing, but it's only two games.

@hYdeks I don't exactly understand how it's a waste if the game was never going to be made in the first place if it didn't come to Wii U
.

Yeah...not surprised and the rumors about the NX releasing next July will be debunked as well. Not saying the NX won't come Winter 2016 - Spring 2017, but the NX needs more than a few months hype before it launches otherwise it'll be a far worse failure commercially than the Wii U has been.

@BigBabyPeach

Yup. Thats what I said! Lol! Its a control thing.

Well...

All these people saying Nintendo heard the backlash and decided to do a 180 lol yeah right, in that case Federation Force would've been cancled a month ago, Nintendo don't give a monkeys about some haters on Nintendo Life saying how Nintendo have fallen and how things were better in their day. Nintendo will keep doing their own thing and good for them, all this backlash is just pathetic now when even games like this cause a storm of hatred, I'm sure Nintendo have gone back to the drawing board with 'NX' because of Unseen64 and are planning to release a wannabe PC to compete with Xbox/PS just to satisfy the whiners. Come on Unseen64 give us something to laugh about, can't wait for his next statement that generates more than 100 comments here, perhaps people have learned their lesson, though I extremely doubt it.

Why is this game so hyped if apparently it is so bad?

@TheLastLugia I wouldn't necessarily go that far. Although all the problem was caused by a rumor, people do have the right to criticize Nintendo for some of the strange actions and decisions they have been making, and in reality genuine criticism is meant to help and benefit those that are being criticized. As long as it is shown as genuine criticism.

Now I don't agree with the idea of people following and believing rumors. I suppose this was a perfect example of what rumors can cause, and how biased people can be with them. In my opinion, all the evidence points to the rumor being wrong.

@TeeJay I believe the confusion over the rumor is a main reason for that, and also because it is a mature game.

@TheLastLugia It's sort of funny that his Twitter is now private and the main Unseen64 account is placing the blame on him.

@the-madprofessor really?

@Aromaiden Yep, they're basically putting responsibility for this on Liam.

@JusticeColde Wow. That's terrible, but I guess that's the consequences for leaking false information.

Don't worry, 1 month to go and we'll know for sure if all this fuss was towards a good game or not...

AHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS SOOO FUNNY! LITTLE TWEAKERS SURE LIKE TO TWEAK!

I find it funny everything's nice and calm once again! It just seems surreal! XD
I also smell a Direct coming! I hope that one doesn't confirm our fears...

I think Liam has been making a lot of educated guesses but has foolishly passed them on as fact.

lol trusting leaks. C'mon people.

@hYdeks The gimped PC's have enough shooters already. Let it be.

@TheLastLugia Valhalla and THQ would have invested more moneythe game tha Nintendo, so dropping th game fewring low sales would be a better choice than to cancel an internally eveloped Metroid game that they themselves believe in.

@IceClimbers You bring up some good points. I'm wondering if Nintendo's silence in the US is due to some Gamestop exclusivity or something similar. Anyway, Nintendo seemed to have stumbled upon some publicity for the game over all this.

This is good news. I'm still on the fence about getting this but at least NoA has confirmed they are publishing it

So much for the rumors, yes?

@TheDavyStar I think that's /all/ he makes, to be quite honest. I don't think he has a single actual source.

@JusticeColde Hey, I recognize her... who is that?

So I have to ask again, what NEW information has Unseen64 ever been proven of bringing? I know they've been proven to be able to dig up OLD information, but that's also a lot easier to do.

@VeeFlamesNL My guess is a Direct in the next few weeks like Bayonetta 2 had.

I'm still just glad the game is coming out. Would have been nicer without the drama stirred up by the gaming tabloids. Nintendo, time to bring on that Direct and silence the critics.

This week about Devil's Third in a nutshell =w=

Glad it's still coming, it's just..........I was over there, doing stuff while people were talking about stuff and things! : 0

That should up the ones who made a fuss about it. NoA never dropped the title all stupid rumors as usual.

So... NoA contacted Liam with fake information to build up the hype for Devil's Third, yes?

@IceClimbers
Whoa so the cornered rat still tries to defend some random Twitter user named unseen64.

Apparently he's always right

@VR32F1END woops, I should have read the comments more carefully...
But yeah, Unseen64 is definitely a headache for Nintendo, so discrediting them is at the very least a welcomed byproduct for them.

@Mona-Reggie While I don't agree with him either there is no need to be as rude as you are. I understand Unseen64 is looking a little sketchy right now but do not insult people trying to make sense of whats currently going on because nobody really does at this point. Please try to be civil.

Liam's credibility isn't helped by some random fits he had when questioned or doubted. That might be why his Twitter is now private.

@MasterGraveheart It's Naoko Katsuda from Golden Boy Kintaro.

@JusticeColde Has his twitter been a war ground after all this?

@Koopa-King To be honest, most of the evidence and current events point to the rumor being false, especially when you compare the two sides.

@BigBabyPeach

Oh no worries man! I was just raising a glass to you!

@Aromaiden Im sure the people behind the rumor had no ill intentions and the information given to them was factual. However the amount of confusion they've created is alarming but everyone makes mistakes. And when you're close with game developers like Unseen64 is then most people will take the information as a fact. It's just been a tough week for everyone involved and hopefully it ends in peace when Nintendo get out that direct that they are totally and SHOULD be having.

@Koopa-King Surprisingly, no.
It just looks to be a possible Twitter meltdown. It happens.

...still not really interested in this game. Regardless who publishes it.

@gamermole This be no means confirms them actually publishing it. And NL reports Unseen64 rumors becuase they have predicted some very unlikely things that turned out to be correct.

I take back everything I said about NOA about this situation because of this. I don't even know why I believed the rumor in the first place, I'm not the kind of person that does that.

@Koopa-King Agreed

Okay i take everything back about NOA. I love you now until you do something stupid.Like really stupid. Alright then this just shows stop believing in rumors especially from Unseen64. Ugh first time i actually believed in a rumor and this happens! Oh i'm losing it.

People before: "I hate NoA and everything they've ever done I'm moving to (insert company here). Now: "All of my previous hate is gone and I've gone back to Nintendo" Gaming community in a nutshell right there.

@JusticeColde Okay, then I didn't recognize her... ^^;

Oh damn I feel like an idiot now. I love Nintendo! Now give us the regular 3ds and I'll marry you.

@Monado_III I feel that the main issue most people have with leakers like Unseen64 is that they spread rumors. The rumors tend to cause so much confusion and they are commonly taken as facts (although in reality they can just as easily end up being wrong or false) which then cause even more unnecessary problems.

The main issue is that they cause so much trouble for little purpose, other than to possibly some leaked information.

@Koopa-King I don't hate Nintendo, I just been rather annoyed about some of there stupid decision they have been making lately. I'm pretty sure nobody actually hate Nintendo here, they just know Nintendo can do better and they want the best from them. I know not everybody are not like that (a few people here I find to be downright Sony fanboys) but it goes for mostly everybody. And I'm pretty sure people are just joking when they say they absolutely love Nintendo after one good piece of news and nobody besides that one guy sold there Wii U and got a PC/PS4/Xbone since E3.

@Aromaiden Maybe it's a benefit of living in the UK, which is full of terrible tabloids that constantly report 'news', but I never treat rumours as fact. I dump a bucket of salt on them and wait for the facts to dissolve it or not.

So where are all the people that acted like Nintendo shot their sister in the rumor article? There was a lot of 'I've lost faith in Nintendo' getting bandied around... is that crow tasty?

@Chaoz I probably would have the thoughts in my mind if the situation constant. On almost any Nintendo news related article here there is always a "Lost faith in Nintendo" or "I love you Nintendo". It's a constant that keeps popping up. Maybe I'm just reading too deep into this. And I hope my comments didnt come off as an attack to you. I didnt mean anyone in particular.

The tweet may just be referring to Nintendo bringing it to america and not NOA.

Liam (of Unseen64) seems to of left social media for the time being due to death threats. The internet is a silly place sometimes.

@MeddlingIdiot I really do feel bad for Liam, he doesn't deserve all that hate, but leaving for the time being was probably the best thing. People tend to react in the heat of the moment.

@Aromaiden I concur, I certainly wouldn't put up with that. All he did was release some info, which was true to the best of his knowledge at the time.

NoA NOT repeating their mistakes? Well done, my faith in them has sorta slightly started recovering.

@Ootfan98
Because if Nintendo isn't publishing it they have yet another reason to complain and whine and moan. Completely ignoring the fact that the game would've been coming either way, which, if you're a gamer, should be the bottom line.

I'm with the guy in the beginning of the comment section who said the complaining has just gotten out of hand. And it has. People are literally scrutinizing everything just begging for a reason to complain. It's like people, go play some games or something. You're never happy no matter what happens, you ALWAYS find something to be crabby about.

@JaxonH I know right, people are even complaining about how much people are complaining...

@Dweezicus
You know it's bad when people are fed up with the complaints though to the point they say something.

@MeddlingIdiot That's why the internet is just full of... (to be polite) jerks. It's just crazy.

Now begs the question if the rumor was true to begin with and this is a reverse decision or if they were afraid of letting the false rumor snowball and decided to smash it.

@Dweezicus LOL Honestly, that's annoying me more than anything. Things were pretty good here for a while after E3. People were voicing their opinions with hardly anyone getting uppity and defensive in return. Now we're back to the endless cycle of complaining where everyone's moaning about everyone moaning.

@LoveSugoi I don't think it's the first one, considering how badly Unseen64 reacted and handled the situation. If they really had certainty in their leak, then they probably would have openly stated it, especially considering how open they are. Honestly though, all the evidence just points to it being the second one.

@BinaryFragger Probably because of all the things Unseen64 said about the game. Like poor framerate, bad voice acting, etc... (at least that's what they said in their video.)

Maybe now well stop seeing articles about Unseen64. Also, Nintendo wouldn't change their minds on a whim just because of some rumors Unseen64 started to circulate. Let's me realistic people.

All that matters is that Devil's Third has gotten more exposure. Everyone is talking about it & its on your mind. This will no doubt net the game a few more sales.
Any publicity is still publicity. And you guys are eating it up.
So, well played I say.

And this right here is another reason why I don't bother with believing any rumor a person may say, way too much times where a rumor is proven to be not true.

If NOA is publishing this, then Nintendo should be embarrassed that their lack of communication and information about this game even led to there being rumors about them dropping it in the first place.

Phew... Now we can not play it because it's presumably horrible, instead of not being able to play it because it wasn't released here.

@Koopa-King
Yeah no kidding lol smh

Welp. So much for Unseen64 "never being wrong".

I just think the game just probably isnt any good possibly. If it were decent enough they would be showing it and definitely publishing it. Ive thought it looked pretty average and very dated since they first showed it.

I have zero trust in Nintendo of America. I would rather give Zynga direct access to my bank accounts.

YES! Soon ODB will rule the world!

@BinaryFragger wrote "I don't get how people judge games that they haven't even played."

Like Starfox Zero ?

Edit: Not directed at you, but the nay sayers on this site

Okay, good, NoA was just working on things behind the scenes... Such as this reply tweet.

They need to be a little more proactive about things like this, info which is "heard through the grapevine" has a habit of building up, regardless of whether or not it's a rumor. The problem was nipped from a bloom, instead of a bud.

"We are excited to bring the game to Wii U and will have more to share soon."

By the way, does this mean Nintendo is publishing DT, or NoA is bringing it over to be published by someone else? An answer for a Direct, I assume.

Honestly ridiculous. The guy has left Twitter because he's apparently getting death threats. Like I said before, why this game? It looks bad, definitely not amazing, and yet haters caused all that commotion based off of what we now know was false information. Federation Force, Starfox Zero, NX God for the first time I'm actually worried about Zelda's unveiling later this year, these good-for-nothing jerks are going to ruin it, no matter how good it looks, just like they've done for EVERYTHING since E3. It's funny how most of the haters haven't commented here, I'm sure they will be back for the review if it gets less than a 7.

@BigBabyPeach I agree...That or else Nintendo put their American wing back in its place!

AHAHAHA! Not going to America? Then not being handled by Nintendo? Hell, I know that I haven't been caring about rumors, but this is just hilarious how paranoid slack jawed idiots ate the rumors up like a fat kid to pizza.

Hahahaha!

@ultraraichu Histrionic and Borderline people and some depressive disorders. The comments are always a colorful place filled with the loudest of turds and some people trying to convince an idiot to turn right in absolute futility when he keeps turning left. Nobody in the internet who is insane enough is going to admit that he/she has a problem. The conversation will just devolve into a ****fest via Godwin's law while people throw labels like sexist, racist, nazi, etc.

NOA is not publishing this game. It's being published by XSEED. Nintendo Life was right and yeah, Unseen64 were correct

This tweet is clearly an exercise in damage limitation by Nintendo of America.

People put too much trust in rumours and love to have their outrage, just like middle aged women who read gossip mags and tabloid newspapers and watch current affair TV and soapies. People just must outrage at stuff or they aren't happy.

Thank goodness. It would of made me sad if we had to wait much longer than the europeans to get our hands on this game, though I guess I shouldn't get too excited until the reviews start pouring in. It could turn out to be a dud, but I sure hope it doesn't. I need another good unique game for my Wii U, and this is my style of game.

@ottospooky So if that's true, why did Unseen64 react the way they did? That's the confusing part.

Edit: Did Xseed confirm they were publishing the game?

Could you please stop featuring Rumor64 errr... Unseen64?

@Aromaiden it's been confirmed that XSEED are publishing by Emily Rogers. Her Twitter has now good mysteriously private, another in a long line mysteries regarding this game. I don't know who she is but apparently she knows about these things
The whole situation is bizarre but I think NOA are just trying to silence the 'rumours' about the game. Incidentally I believe Unseen 64's expose and I think people will be more trusting of what they say when the embargo is lifted on the game and the reviews start coming in...

@ottospooky That's strange.

Actually the whole problem was caused by them saying the NoA would not bring the game to NA at all. Which angered people because they didn't know whether they were ever going to get it, why Japan and Europe were, and they felt NoA was being over controlling based on the way Unseen64 portrayed them. In all honesty the whole rumor caused so much unnecessary trouble, by purposely leaving significant questions unanswered, negatively portraying the situation, and in general they handled it very poorly.

Until a real and official source confirmed something, everything else is just rumors and ideas, it is always better to have very "low" expectations.

@IceClimbers I don't undestraned why everybody assumes brings equals publishes. Nintendo and their stupid need to be enigmatic, they can't tweet "publish".

So was it just rumors and someone at NOA for no reason at all decided that hey let's not mention this game at E3 but make a crappy little tweet? That would be all kinds of messed up as well.

NoA saying they're happy to bring the game to Wii U would indicate that they are, in fact, publishing it. Don't know when that verbiage became confusing. Either way, if XSEED is publishing it and NoA said they were, I'm pretty sure I speak my own language where I mean what I say and everyone else speaks outright lies. That is to say, NoA saying they'd bring the game to Wii U meaning they won't is a weird way of saying they're bringing it to Wii U. Then again, that one guy on NL who hated SF Zero's article's title said he had "mixed feelings" about the game, which clearly wasn't true at the time.

@SetupDisk that tweet was merely an exercise in quelling these 'rumours'. All of the evidence points towards the situation being exactly how Unseen64 reported it.
Quiet Japan/Europe release date announced DAYS before E3; no mention or showing of the game at all (and let's face it, the Wii U needs all the announcements it can get!!)
The games creator tweeting that he will release the game in America.
NOA weren't happy with the project because it's not supposed to be very good, so they ever-so-quietly cancelled it, but now that the Internet is abuzz with after the recent video, they've had to come out in support of the game, and cryptically state that it will be released in the U.S. But it's apparently XSEED who will take the reins and publish over there.

@ottosppoky How long have you worked with Unseen64? no one in their right mind would give their word for someone they do not know on a very personal level. Clearly, Unseen64 is never wrong? C'mon...

I say we all just keep quiet about this whole situation until we get SOLID confirmation from Nintendo. This whole thing is so confusing that there is no point pointing fingers when we dont even know where to point.

@Koopa-King Definitely. Although NoA should really have been a lot more clear, and they should communicate far better.

@ottosppoky By the way, who is Emily Rogers and how is she related to XSEED?

@Aromaiden Nintendo is certainly slow when it comes to news about ITSELF.

@Koopa-King Yeah, they really have to work on that.

Slow summer?

Looks like XSEED is bringing it over, after all.

I don't know why everyone is all upset. I mean, the really important thing is that Terraria is still coming our way.

/got nothing

@TheLastLugia Yeah all that unsubstantiated exaggerating and whining really started to annoy me too. I wish people would stop believing every damn rumour they read and the rumours they create themselves.
@IceClimbers Didn't you read the news? Option b was confirmed already last week! There's no need for guessing around, it will be released in NA but by another publisher.

@Koopa-King: I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Haven't you seen the footage that was shown just recently? You can find it in this article (along with some pictures and an official announcement): https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/06/tomonobu_itagakis_devils_third_will_lay_waste_to_your_wii_u_on_august_28th

Or just access the video directly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ked9LPANFko

Also @Koopa-King: What exactly do you find confusing? It was pretty clear from the beginning and since then, nothing has changed. 2014 it was announced that Devil's Third will come to Wii U in 2015. In June 2015, the release date was announced, but not for NA. Then everyone in the US started to act crazy and assumed the game won't be released on their continent. That's absurd! Then a few days ago, it was reported that the game will OF COURSE be also released in NA, but not by Nintendo. So I don't get the confusion. The game will be released soon, worldwide.There's nothing more we need to know. Just be patient and think about something else in the meantime.

@Platypus101 I am not affiliated with Unseen64 on any level. Nor did I say they were always right. I just feel that they're right about Devil's Third.

Everything points towards stuff happening they way they reported it

@Aromaiden She's a game journalist, associated with GameXplain, and by all accounts has provided accurate insider information in the past.

All of the doubters are wrong!

@ottospooky Oh so she is a game journalist. Thank you .

I have no issue with Unseen64, I just didn't agree with the way handled it.

@BLPs I figured Nintendo was either dodging a feminist uproar or creating a false rumor to find their leak. I also think that at this point that this was a leak finding mission and Unseen 64 has some way or another lost their source.

I was hoping Nintendo of America was helping Valhalla publish their own game, handling marketing and distribution for them.

@Aromaiden M. Night Shyamalan approves your first sentence. LOL Anyways, I would love to see Nintendo of America to publish Devil's Third and release it worldwide.

@hYdeks Nintendo is publishing Devil's Third... not THQ. And it's exclusively for Wii U.

@eaglebob345 It's not that easy. Valhalla Game Studios is an INDEPENDENT developer... their budget isn't as big as Koei Tecmo, Index Corporation, or Square Enix.

@TheLastLugia

Yeah, people have no right to command information about one of the very few 'real' titles actually coming to nintendo's barren wii u. Further, they have no right to complain if that game sucks upon release. They should be used to all that by now, right?

Im not saying you have to like the reality that nintendo's made for itself as a complete joke, but calling everyones disappointment at the way nintendo chooses to conduct what little is left of its business 'annoying,' makes you look like a tool.

The game is being published by NoA, not Xseed. The tweet couldn't have been clearer.

@cdude I wouldn't say Nintendo has "little business", as they are still incredibly active, and at this point Nintendo has reported that they are indeed profiting. The real main issue Nintendo is having is with their home consoles (where they are a bit of a joke, in comparison to other home consoles owned by MS and Sony), and are doing generally fine in other areas. For example, although they fail at the home console market, they dominate the mobile console market and in general, they are the mobile console market.

It's just a common misconception, that since Nintendo is failing at the home console market, they are failing entirely at all other things.

@SheldonRandoms
Brilliant choice of gif

@TheLastLugia

Thank you, thank you, thank you

@cdude there's a difference between voicing genuine disappointment (which I have no problem in and partake in quite a bit myself) and hating on every little thing the company does without fail and whining about it on a Nintendo forum, particularly the way they seem to enjoy comparing Nintendo to the other companies and treating them as inferior. Case in point, Stafox Zero is comparable to Indie games that are released on PS/Xbox. Another one, Xenoblade X sucks compared to the open-world games released those systems. They bring up those ludicrous statements about games that haven't released yet and they haven't played, and suddenly you're a 'fanboy' of you disagree with them. There is a way to voice disappointment, going around creating petitions is not the way to do it. Those people are the real tools.

@JaniN83 Outside of maybe the sales argument(and there's no gurantee that this game will sell even decently on the Wii U), how would this game be a "waste" on other platforms?

Games can be great regardless of what platform they are on, hardware often has little to do with the quality of a game.

Game looks like trash

Don't care who would publish it, as long as it's still coming that's what matters to me.

As per the norm these days, a LOT of so called "Nintendo fans", jumped straight on the rumor mill, and took it for granted it was true. Unseen64 has been right a couple of times in the past, so he must have been right this time? Well, it appears his stab in the dark did not pay off this time.

Seriously though, who in their right mind, would believe something, without having the facts to back it up? Again, most people who believed the rumor, will probably stay pretty quiet, until the next rumor surfaces.

@shani Agreed. As if Nintendo would allow a game to be released by their Europe and Japanese divisions, but not by NoA. North America is probably Nintendo's biggest market, so it would make no financial sense NOT to release the game there.

Guess I was wrong about the name thing. Good thing, too.

I was looking at more screenshots and is it just me, or does this look a lot worse than Bayo 2?

I mean I will still get it because it's a Wii U exclusive, and I need something else to play other than the crack that is Splat, Smash, and MK8.
