Itagaki says Devil’s Third’s visuals have improved since E3, “looking completely different now”

Tomonobu Itagaki and the team at Valhalla Game Studios have been working hard on Devil’s Third since the game was last shown at E3. Their effort has payed off, as Itagaki told one fan on his Facebook page that the visuals have been improved.
Itagaki mentioned that the textures, weapon and environment models, and lighting have seen an upgrade. Ultimately, “it’s looking completely different now.”

I guess they modified UE3 to take advantage of Wii U's hardware...

dotwithshoes4108d ago

It would be wise to 'mod' an engine to take advantage of a particular system if it was a exclusive title.

BullyMangler4108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

damn . Nintendo may not have many "Mature" exclusives, but when they do, those exclusives are the (((MOST))) Mature games ever created . .

CBFD - N64
Madworld - wii
Turok 1&2- N64
Bayonetta 2 - wiiU
Resident Evil Remake - Gamecube
etc etc.

.. . and now Devils 3rd for wiiU

Sony and Micro try harder . orrr

Nevers0ft4108d ago

@bullymangLer Well said. I never thought of it like that but you might be right, there might be a element of "If we're doing a mature title, it better be a damned MATURE title" mentality from Nintendo... No half measures :)

ShaunCameron4106d ago

@ bullymangLer

Despite it being a timed exclusive, I would add Resident Evil 4. Probably THE greatest M-rated game ever to grace a Nintendo console.

eyeofcore4108d ago

Game Awards are tomorrow... So maybe there...

wonderfulmonkeyman4108d ago

That would be neat, but is it likely?

N4g_null4108d ago

I know right lol. If this sucks I shall give him hell!

Plasticgearsolid4108d ago

ScorpiusX4108d ago

Looks like I have a reason to now own a Wii U, aside from the first party stuff.

Blink_444108d ago

Trolltroll4108d ago

17M+ units in 6 months! Others on this site are insisting on only 10M units. XD

And as for Switch 1 total sales, it will only take a few months for it to surpass the 160M of PS2.

repsahj29d ago

Will Sony magically be able to dig up PS2s again to increase the 160M number when the Switch is about to surpass it? hahaha.

They already did this in 2024 because Switch 1 is getting close to 155m. They might do it again because Switch is getting close to 160M.

Dexterio29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

"And as for Switch 1 total sales, it will only take a few months for it to surpass the 160M of PS2."
Few months lol. Maybe in a few years, and if it happens, that would be a big indication that the Switch 2 is not as successful as some here wanted us to believe; people still buy the OG Switch because there is nothing exciting on the Switch 2 and it's cheaper lol.

Rage7729d ago

Too bad it took over 12 years for PS2 to reach that number (before Jim Ryan made took some more out of his ass) Does that mean people were buying PS2s becasue it was cheaper and nothing good on PS3 and almost PS4? Nice try. 🤣🤣🤣

Sgt_Slaughter29d ago

The Switch 2 is outselling the Switch 1 when compared to their first years. You can swing this anyway you want, but that doesn't change reality and sales figures.

By your own logic, every single console has released to lackluster success because people kept buying the console before it. Sony even combined PS2 and PS3 sales at one point to help negate the lackluster start of the PS3.

badz14929d ago

@Rage77

people were buying PS2s because it was cheaper and nothing good on PS3. remember that the PS3 was released in 2006, God of War 2 was released in 2007.

Destiny108029d ago

it was at 10 million when i googled it a week ago, these are fresh numbers

17 million in 6 months is crazy

repsahj29d ago

I think that number is until October only. And during the holidays, Switch 2 sold 7m+.

salis84429d ago

June 5 to December 31 is essentially seven months.

From the chart in the actual presentation.

"Cumulative global sell-through as of the 4th week of December 2025 15 million units."

"Sales Status of Hardware and Software (Sell-In) 17.37 million units."

15m Sold = sell-through

17.37m Shipped = sell-in

andy8529d ago

Itll probably get there. But at currently pace it's like a year and a half. And thats without that number declining as people get switch 2s instead

repsahj29d ago

Maybe they still can. They need to put extra effort into promotions again and release bundled promos like with
2-3 games and 1yr Nintendo online subs.

Profchaos29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

There's a lot of people who want the switch to fail for some weird reason

They took Christmas sales as a indication that the system was a flip and proceeded to celebrate prematurely

Dexterio29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

I still believe the Switch 2 is not gonna be as successful as the OG Switch. We'll see ;)

darthv7229d ago

Well... it can't be the new wiiu if it already passed it and is on track to keep selling over the next several years. It took WiiU 4 years to even get close to 14m. SW2 passed it in 6 months.

Sgt_Slaughter29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

The PS5 is showing to not reach the PS4, so you should worry about that instead.

hiawa2329d ago

That is pretty amazing. I love what Nintendo did with the Switch 2 as they fixed every issue I had with the original and it seems devs agree given the amount of 3rd party support it is receiving.

repsahj29d ago

I agree! That was their previous criticism of the Switch 1, now Nintendo has responded with the Switch 2. They still can't beat the games on console versions but the gap is massive compared to Switch 1 and ps4. For me, the end result that you see with your eyes while playing is what's important, not that you have to dissect the game and zoom in 200% to see the difference.

Levii_9229d ago

Most disappointing console i've ever bought. I regret buying it right away.

Sgt_Slaughter29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

It's a better Switch with much better graphics, third-party support, and fully backwards compatible. You knew what it would be before purchasing.

Besides, surely you were more disappointed by the PS3's launch or the Vita given how rough theirs were in comparison.

Neonridr28d ago

how is it more disappointing than the original Switch? It's an improvement in every way when you directly compare.

Sgt_Slaughter29d ago

All those clickbait YouTubers and Twitter users are going to be working overtime to try and swing this as a bad thing, when it continues to defy expectations and break records.

The Switch 2 has now outsold the Steam Deck nearly 3x over and is outselling the OG Switch by nearly 5,000,000 with half a year of sales to go for its first year.

repsahj29d ago

LOL! Specially Nintendeen. XD

MayorPauline29d ago

Apparently he was begrudgingly saying he was wrong. I'll take reddits word for it though. He ain't getting any traffic from me. I dont need him or any one like him stinking up my feed. You let in one grifter and the algotherim decides to flood you with them. 😆

Nintendo Faces Fresh Labor Complaints Three Years After Union-Busting Settlement

Nintendo of America is once again facing labor complaints from one or more of its workers. Game File reports that new charges accuse the Switch 2 manufacturer of violating sections of the National Labor Relations Act dealing with worker organizing and related union activities. These come just a few years after the company settled a previous labor charge with a former tester for $26,000.
