"Devil’s Third, on the other hand, had sales over 3,000 units."

Ouch!

The Devil's Three Thousand.

Concertoine3437d ago

That's probably what the print was limited to. Wish that was 3k copies of Fatal Frame instead, though...

Errefus3437d ago

ya they didnt print enough copies, and they ignored the game a lot.

ShadowKnight3437d ago (Edited 3437d ago )

Lol, he needs to go back to team Ninja and make another ninja Gaiden game

Sano643437d ago

It's because the didn't print enough copies. The game is going for around $100 USD on Ebay

No wonder about the Devils third, you can't find it anywhere!

Kreisen3437d ago

I wonder what will happen to Itagaki and his studio now. The guy has been working on Devils Third for so many years and god knows how much money they spend on it.

wonderfulmonkeyman3437d ago

Bayonetta situation, or did they only pay for a portion?
I mean, the multiplayer mode is on PC, after all; I can't imagine Nintendo paid for 100% of it if some part of it appeared somewhere outside of Nintendo platforms.

Concertoine3437d ago

I mean it was in development for around 4 years before Nintendo got involved. They switched engines 3 times i think. Development hell destroyed this games potential, it could've been an awesome game looking at the 2010 trailer.

Melankolis3437d ago

I hope he continue making game. I still respect him for creating DOA series and Ninja Gaiden (No other action game beat NG for Xbox classic i thought).

And i would be disappointed if he ever says...
"I once created the best game in the world, Ninja Gaiden, and i'm gonna make a game completely better than that, on iOS.

Metallox3437d ago

Good sales for Xenoblade Chronicles X. Say whatever you want, but we're talking about a core JRPG on Wii U, it's at least a good start.

Venoxn4g3437d ago

Devils third has such an mixed reviews from the users..like wow.. from worst game to an amazing one.. i still want to try it and i definitely will in time.. i read its like oldschool as well and doesnt take itself too seriously (hoping for a bit of god hand ps2 wibe as well) :)

Segata3437d ago

It's fun if you like popcorn games. It's a 80s B movie action the game and that can turn people off or on. It's fun and controls well. Boss battles in true fashion of Ig are very hard and the final boss is really cool.
It's not terrible and it's not Bayonetta 2 good either but a fun romp if you turn your brain off.

Venoxn4g3435d ago

thanks for reply.. I think I will get it.. as I like some B movie stuff time to time, with older generation clitches.. I think stuff like Kung Fury movie is awesome (or a game like Far Cry 3:Blood Dragon), if this is at least something like that I will love it.. :)

Hmmm interesting. Hopefully true, liking the slowly but surely partnership between the big 3. Just imagine all the xenoblade games officially on pc. I think mcsft going 3rd party but still making consoles fits them.

Kneetos11d ago

Xenoblade chronicles X is not there

Either removed or the picture shown was edited, but it is currently not there

NettosGameRoom11d ago

You can still view it using the internet archive!

TheColbertinator11d ago

This is good. Real good if Nintendo is smart to capitalize.

jznrpg10d ago

I would bet a lot of money it’s not happening

Reason number 1 why I haven’t played yet:
Cannot commit the time. :/

GotGame81855d ago

The nice thing about X is you have a Follow Ball. If you haven't played for a few days it will help you jump right back in! Fantastic game! You should at least have 5 initial hours over 2 days or so to invest. I also suggest grinding to at least level 14 before chapter 3.

Zeldafan6455d ago

It's nice that definitive edition makes level grinding easier. Quite a bit quicker than the original release.

PRIMORDUS55d ago

I bought it thinking it was like the trilogy and expansion on Switch. I played it for 15 or so hours and stopped. Couldn't get into it, the gameplay was not like the previous ones, it was not what I expected.😕

Dhika54d ago

I bought it on the Wii U years ago and couldn’t get into it too 🙁

PRIMORDUS54d ago

I feel ya, sucks cause I wanted to like it, I tried.

TFdwnunder54d ago

Greatest RPG ever except end game makes it impossible to complete for anyone who focused on mech battles. Do not focus on mechs or you will be disappointed

1 - 3 are connected. Idk if X is connected since I haven't beaten the epilogue in X yet. X will probably be connected.
