My bet is on EA, they have history of picking JP developers in the past and currently they have more interest in multiplayer focused games, so it would make sense.
Damn man, you're so much against it that it's almost coming across as wishful thinking on your part that it doesn't come to Wii U.
Unless Nintendo themselves are funding it, no reason why the game should be exclusive. Valhalla needs to create as much of an audience with their ip as possible.

Sorry I wasn't very clear.
I don't know why you'd hope so much that it'll be on a certain platform(s), because I can't see why you'd think it'll be that good in the end. Is it just because of its creator and the trailer that we saw? Genuine question.
THQ went out of business in January of 2013. I still wouldn't rule out Nintendo but I'm sure Itagaki would still rather have this game be a multi-plat.
And Valhalla bought back the rights to DT in July of 2012. The deal with the Korean company is the last we've heard and I'll stick with that.

Id make no bones about wanting Itakagis next game to actually be a success, if thats what you mean.
But thats neither here no there. Im pretty confident its not even going to have a WiiU version, much less be exclusive.
See You Next Wednesday

Some people really are gullible.
A controller heavy tailored console twitch based fighter on PC. Not happening.
At best, maybe 6-8 months after the console release, if it is wildly successful.
Itagaki games don't suffer in quality because they're in development for too long, they suffer when they aren't.
Lol great match http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67stwitE4Yc
EDIT If it's Doobic Ltd then I hope they still continue with Itagaki's plan to use cross platform play, a multiplat MP game like this really needs it. (Crossplay was stated by Itagaki right? Or is it just speculation and rumour?)

Devils third is a Massively online focused third person shooter. Yes it will have a meele element, but its still a shooter. It was also originally annouced for PCPS360.
What on earth are you talking about?
Yeah, it's just pedigree really.
I think even if it was still PS360, it'd be fine, but with the heavy online focus, and given room for a user base to actually grow and mature, I think it needs the platforms with a longer life to come.
Oh, OK?
Should we just start counting the amount of times he's delayed a game that turned out amazing or just go on a lengthy tirade about how NG II should be the best action game ever released, has the potential for it, and ended up being crap because Microsoft and Tecmo buttfucked Team Ninja?
Know your facts, son. Then get back to me.

What i dont understand, is, if it was third party, why the publisher hasnt been announced yet? Especially after the game was announced yesterday, to be revealed this year.
Is this common practice? If not, why keep it a secret?

The real question is, Xbox 360 or Xbox One?
Good question. I feel like if Bethesda or some similar publisher would've picked it up, we would've known by now. The game was announced already, we know Valhalla has been looking for a publisher. What publisher would want to keep it a secret that they're publishing it?
Eh, it's true. Ninja Gaiden was delayed numerous times. Ninja Gaiden 2 was rushed. DoA4 was rushed. DoA2 received numerous delays.
It's pretty true, imo. When he has time, he released great games. When he's rushed, his games are subpar (doa4) or great with huge flaws (NG2).
exactly. He's a "when it's done" guy.
which was heartbreaking on the Xbox but always worth the wait.
Good question. Maybe they want it to be a part of their E3 lineup in a big way? Announcing it beforehand might take away from it.

Yeah.
I can speculate all i want, but end up being flat out wrong.
So, i'm just going to wait and see.
See post #159 in this thread.
Well just 2 months left to E3. Reveal there would make a certain amount of sense.

It's where the game was originally revealed in 2010 so that'd by my guess too

Hm.
I guess it's Amazon, then. It'll be the flagship title for their soon-to-be-unveiled next gen system.
I kid.
Sounds to me like the problems are external. I suppose that's a type of development hell, but not really anything that would make me worry about quality.

Sounds silly, but I've been hype for this game or awhile so whatever its on I'll have to consider whether or not to buy a new console I guess. Unless early reviews sound like garbage...
Anyways, if not Wiiu what could the Bayo2 style game that's been hinted at supposed to be? I'm kind of at a loss as to what it is.

Haven't they had to build a new engine entirely? Or switch engines?

Would be cool if it was on Wii U. I imagine he would do something interesting with the gamepad.
Theres a difference between not having enough funds to work on the game and developmet hell where the creators dont know what they want to do with the game. Itagaki put a mortgage on his home to help finish development, pretty sure he's confident in what he's doing with the game.
I don't know. Have they? There's been so little news on this game that if that was known, I forget hearing it.
Do you have a link talking about it?
Day 1.
Yeah added to the post above.

That was three years ago, lol. Not saying they haven't run into problems, but I have no reason to believe the development problems have anything to do with the team.
I have faith in Itagaki as far as action games go, so I'll remain optimistic.

Whatever happens with this game, that logo is one of the best of all time.

When was this game suppose to be released in the first place?
It was announced for PC.
It's also an online multiplayer 3rd person shooter with melee, not really a fighter

its strange i was thinking about this game yesterday, after seeing the flop reception of yaiba. thought to myself is there space for action games like this i feel like the weirdly disproportional dislike of yaiba sort of seemed to indicate it.
They... published the game? They, in their infinite wisdom, were hell bent on having an exclusive game release in the same month/week as MGS 4?
NG II being what it is is as much of Microsoft's fault as it is Tecmo's fault. They fucked the game with their dumb decisions. Microsoft decided they wanted to release the game earlier than it should have been released, just for the sake of releasing it alongside MGS 4. Tecmo had their own internal troubles with Itagaki, because Yasuda was a dickhead, he didn't pay Itagaki his bonuses for completing DOA 4 on time. He didn't pay Ozawa and a lot of other people for overtime during NG II's development.
All of this shit could have easily been avoided had Yoshihito Kakihara stayed alive long enough. Or had he a worthy successor, which he didn't.
He knew how to run Team Ninja properly and how to deal with Itagaki.
I haven't kept up with the game, but from what I saw it looked like an arena shooter.
