So Devil's Third may not be published by Nintendo. Or maybe it is, who knows anymore.

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.
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 completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
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.
You know its bad when Nintendo, the company who funded Devils Third wont even publish the game in North America. Are they not confident enough in thier own product? Or are they trying to give us the finger for bad hardware sales?
I wish Nintendo would focus more on the North American market just like how Sony does instead of putting us last ;)
But did he say it while wearing sunglasses?
I wish he would just tell us what is going on.
So basically everyone is taking lack of clarification as an indication of the worst-case scenario, despite the dev saying much of it is just rumors and lies...
It's starting to feel like people WANT this game to fail.
I mean, most people don't even QUESTION the validity of some of these rumors.
*Sigh* -_-;;
With all the shooter fans out there, and all the people who are saying they need more games that suit their tastes before they'd get the system, you would think more people would be hopeful and encouraging to this game.
I guess Nintendo hate overrides the hope and desire of wanting a good game.
If Nintendo isn't publishing it, the question is, why?? It looks so damn good, I would buy it for sure.
