this is a game by the guy behind ninja gaiden? this?!...
I can't believe they didn't redesign the lead character.
They redesigned the lead character FOR the Wii U; I seem to recall he (they?) looked much different back in the THQ days. The Nintendo producer pushed them to be more extreme and to demonstrate more "Valhalla spirit", whatever the fuck that means.
WiiU GotY contender. Which is of course no great accomplishment, lol, but the combat system looks real fun, despite shit graphics. I feel bad for the guy, this will bomb even harder than W101. Nintendo seems to care even less about it, no idea why they even funded it. Kind of like Konami buying Hudson just to kill 'em off. Why? At least I get to play this one.
Huh?
Well....I guess technically every game that is released is a Goty contender lol
oh crap maybe this is the Aug game for NA then and not Xenoblade
Nintendo announce a lot before E3, means big things at E3
The lighting, effects and animations in the campaign look substantially improved from E3, but the multiplayer looks pretty much the same to me. I'd say it generally looks good for a WiiU game now outside of the really poor art direction. I can't believe they didn't redesign the lead character.
Fuck it though, I can't wait for this. I think the gameplay looks like it could potentially be great, and I hope it turns out well.
Yall cant be crying something look garbage because it aint up to the AAA standards then start reminiscing over the good ol days when we had all kind of games like this.. Hypocritical!

Gamers making him out to be a god-tier developer were always a touch bit misguided.
High resolution box art. It's up on Amazon Japan, too.
Looks like a PS2 game
edit: and ITA (not IGA lol me) looks like a zombie now
The multiplayer.Can't see fun from the video....
Trying pretty hard here eh?
Actually doesn't look too shabby.
Sometimes diversity of library takes precedent over sales, especially for reputation and the future.Does Nintendo have some sort of action game bomb they need to meet each year? W101 in 2013, Bayo 2 in 2014, and this in 2015. Doesn't look horrible (though I'm still not interested), but this is the most obvious bomb of the year.
I'll never really understand this. Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Black, and Ninja Gaiden II were god-tier, easily (the latter was flawed and had some problems, but still at least demi-god tier). The fact that the franchise kind of took a bad nose dive when he left says a lot about how much he contributed to that quality, I think. This idea that his reputation was somehow undeserved is pretty off base.
I don't know, I'm excited for the game anyway. I'm not sure how it is that Itakagi burned up so much good faith of internet goers, but I'll take any kind of action series he's heading.
I'm guessing some people don't remember what PS2 games look like.
