Does not surprise me. Nintendo need devs.

TheFreshestLlama4166d ago (Edited 4166d ago )

Not sure why people are disagreeing when more games and developers aren't a bad thing. Especially when Nintendo is in the financial position to expand.

I would love for Itagaki to make a spiritual successor to either DoA or Ninja Gaiden for the Wii U. Maybe Ninty will acquire Valhalla after Devil's Third has hit shelves.

Vandamme214166d ago

Itagaki needs to go back to team ninja.

Perjoss4166d ago

"Itagaki needs to go back to team ninja, and slaughter them all for what they did to Ninja Gaiden"

Fixed your comment for you.

Ok maybe not literally kill people but at least stand in the middle of the room and tell them 'what the frack'

Baka-akaB4166d ago (Edited 4166d ago )

No thanks , DOA is all better without him now .

Ninja gaiden can be salvaged ... hell the re-release fixed most of NG3 and made it as it should have been from the start .

So long as they dont forget , ng4 could still be great .

Either way it's not even a possibility , Itagaki pretty much cursed them when he "left"

kakashi814166d ago

I want to see an exclusive action game for the wii u similar to ninja gaiden series.

MSBAUSTX4166d ago

You will. Its called Devils Third

Activemessiah4166d ago

He needs to stay at Nintendo and make Mature games.

Chrischi19884166d ago

True, but Nintendo also needs a western dev studio, to make mature games. I really love Nintendo, but what I dont get is, why they dont make some kind of mature brand, call it Nintendoom or something like this. You know, a daughter company, to make the games, core gamers would call mature. This way, they could keep their image and also make the stuff others want ;)

LOL_WUT4166d ago

Hey thats an excellent idea I like that. Maybe something similar to Gotham City Impostors? But with Nintendo's mascots and gore of course I would totally buy that. ;)

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory4166d ago

Western devs

evah heard of Retro Studios, Next Level Games, Monster Games and others.

Chrischi19884165d ago

Sure I have. But they are too great at normal nintendo games. Nintendo should make new studios, for this new brand. If retro were to make such a game, we would lose a nintendo classic for this, but if it is a new studio, then they can keep making, what we all like from nintendo, but also the new stuff.

DeusEx-Machina4166d ago

Hope Devil's Third profits from the 'touch of Nintendo' the same way as Bayonetta 2 did.

Big_Game_Hunters4166d ago (Edited 4166d ago )

You aren't giving Platinum enough credit. The Nintendo skins/starfox level were cool, but it would still be amazing without them.

DeusEx-Machina4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

I think that came of a little different than I meant it. (Didn't mean the Nintendo flair stuff)

Platinum is a very talented game studio. Baynoetta 2 is their baby and they deserve the praise and credit.

But I am of the honest believe that they as a developer also profited from having Nintendo as a publisher.

Not only in terms of funding, but also terms of consultation and philosophy - namingly the very high emphasis on quality (in all aspects of the game) - helping them to truly outdo themselves.

That's what I hope to see for Devil's Third as well.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi67d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer68d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot68d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno68d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay68d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno66d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK67d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
