Devil's Third Will Be Much More Than Just Another Shooter, According To Creator Tomonobu Itagaki

Remember Devil's Third? At last year's E3 the game was confirmed as a Wii U exclusive, but we've seen precious little of it since then - a strange situation when you consider it that many assumed it would be launching this year.

While little has been seen of the game, creator Tomonobu Itagaki has still been talking about it - in a roundabout way, at least. He spoke recently to People's Daily about smartphone games, and ended up chatting about this forthcoming Wii U release as well.

The game looked rough as hell last year, so i look forward to seeing the new and improved version this year. I have no doubt it'll be good, its Itagaki!

bOObies3250d ago

Well it's good to see him talking about his own game rather then incessantly complaining about DOA 😒

dcj05243250d ago

You and me both. Team ninja did a fine job with DOA after he left. No need for bitterness. And his own game looked interesting in it's own right.

I feel like I've heard about this game for the past 4 years or more...

It was originally a PS360 game to be published by THC. They spent a lot trying to fund it ("I’ve made more than 30 games, and if you put a little bit more [money] into the one I’m making now, Devil’s Third, I could make all of the 30 games I made before.").

After THC went under in (thank the uDraw GameTablet for part of that), Itagaki got the rights back. No one picked the publishing rights up till Nintendo snagged it for a WiiU exclusive.

So yah, going on 4 years since it was originally announced.

Their name was THQ.

THC is from Marijuana...

rdgneoz33250d ago

And both go / went up in smoke :P

JasonKCK3250d ago

THC sounds nice right about now, so glad it's legal here. A little THC and Devils Third would be even better.

Wii U owners; please support this title if it's well developed. Poor quality? Let it bomb. Though if it's the opposite the terrible spectrum, then we need to show Nintendo "that we want these type of games too, along with their normal output of software."

wonderfulmonkeyman3250d ago

Looks aside, the story already has my interest and I love how well they seem to be mixing gun play and sword play.
Then there's the multitude of multiplayer modes, the large amount of customization, and above all, I might get to make my own maps.

As long as they haven't cut back on features for the sake of graphics, this will get my buy.
Especially now that I can't trust CoD to be delivered in any sort of complete form on the Wii U.

jholden32493250d ago

Roger that.

Day one buy, not just because I think I will enjoy the game but to support these types of games on a Nintendo platform.

Man Ninja Gaiden franchise started to crumble when he left Tecmo

Back to the subject of this article: Why do people keep hoping for an M-rated title to arrive on a Nintendo console and hope it does well enough to garner more M-rated titles to come to the platform? We haven't even heard of No More Heroes 3 coming to Wii U like Suda 51 initially promised.

Maybay3250d ago

Plain and simple; I enjoy Nintendo's exclusives, and their innovative creativity. I also enjoy well-made third party titles, which the Wii U has a limited amount of.

If I could own a Nintendo platform that's supported as well as Microsoft/Sony, I'd be in gaming heaven.

@wonderfulmonkeyman, @jholden3249: Awesomeness! We need to send Nintendo a monetary message on the types of software we'd enjoy playing on their gaming platforms.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake7d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
