Probably got humbled when Nintendo took his game and started polishing it. The thing was a janky mess when it was first revealed and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if NSPD picked it apart to fix it.
lol..busted on that monster hunter part

yeah this amiibo is ready
Looks like Itagaki is very happy with Nintendo as publisher. Someone could say now: "He has to say such things, because he is working with Nintendo atm"
True but I've got the feeling Nintendo supports him to do what he wants do with this game. Just some advices and helping hands from them.

Europe was given Bayonetta 2 very early. US outlets got it closer to release - I think 2 or 3 weeks ahead of release, if I remember correctly.

Would love to see his studio become a wing of Nintendo. Let him make a sheik action game.
Also, he isn't the only one to make such claims. I remember Platinum begin equaly excited to work with Nintendo. Yacht Club did also them a lot.
It seems like Nintendo is just very fun to work with.

Hey everyone,
here's a Japanese style Christmas card for you guys. Thanks for all your support this year. Next year you can FINALLY get your hands on Devil's Third!!
Have a Happy new year!!
If I'm not mistaken, that tattoo in the wallpaper is of the Buddhist god Fudo Myoo, who purifies by burning away evil. And of course, those sanskrit tattoos are from that ghost story Itagaki mentioned previously. I guess the idea is that Ivan could be "possessed" by the same evil as his enemies but has instead chosen to strike against it. Though I don't think enlightenment is going to be the final fate for anyone here.
Now that I think about it, the tattoo on the back of the woman may be Inari, the . That's assuming that the animal depicted is a white fox and not a wolf. I have no idea what a wolf would represent. Dunno what that means. Probably just that she's deceptive.
Kind of wondering if his shaven head is supposed to invoke the image of a Buddhist monk. It certainly doesn't now. There's clearly a ton of Japanese imagery here, but it's too easily buried under the "dudebro".

Nintendo will probably withhold it until September.

I could see April. My feeling is that Wooly World will come it March with Splatoon in May and Mario Maker June/July. I think Xenoblade will launch in April in Japan.
Wonderful 101 was also in a real rough state.

There's no way this could be a part of their main presentation. It has a lot of realistic violence unlike Bayonetta which was fighting demons and angels. Ivan is cutting humans into pieces, drinking, smoking and clearly about to have sex. I honestly don't know how there be able to saw single-player in a Nintendo Direct (that isn't solely focused on Devil's Third).

I would have agreed with you in the last 6 years but Nintendo in the last few months feels different and I wouldn't be that surprised if they show DT a lot in the next direct.
They could show the wackyness of the multiplayer for example - that didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary violence wise and seemed like good fun.
It's actually the only part that makes it slightly interesting to me right now.

Looks like they are ignoring it even worse than that one. There's zero buzz, yet it's supposed to come out soon? Expect a worse performance than Sin & Punishment.
Shit, I don't even want to think about Japanese sales, considering that even W101 launched at 5k or something over there.

If there's one thing I learned from this thread, it's that PS2 games aren't fun. Thanks, NeoGAF!
Kind of hyped for this now though, in a weird way. I get a weird Anarchy Reigns vibe about it, for some reason.
The multiplayer trailer is what peaked my interest too! Better than the SP trailer.

Haha make no mistake this game will tank. Nintendo never promotes anything that doesn't have Mario in the title, especially M-rated stuff. Imagine what parents will think when they blindly buy their kids the newest Nintendo game and there's a hairy witch spreading her legs on the TV!
Plus its own direct.

This looks like it could be gaming crack.

I say the next showing is at E3, I think we're approaching the point where anything might be better saved for it. Basically by March or April I say hold off.

I'll buy any game that lets me kill people while wearing a realistic cat head.
Maybe the date of the update would be better put before the quote instead of in the quote so it stands out more. I checked the OP, but didn't really notice the date of the updates and saw the date of the OP. So i assumed it was an old update until i saw it here.
Just a thought.

Yeah, nothing about this makes any sense. Before it was "Nintendo won't show violence in Directs!" now it's "Nintendo won't show realistic violence...". It's just weird qualification after qualification with little to no basis
I think it would be better if they showed it off before E3, have the new info and new look, then first hands on at E3.
If they wait til E3 it might get over shadowed by all the other games, Zelda full showing, XCX localized, Mario Marker, Star Fox and what ever else Nintendo has to show off.

E3 will be a bad place to show it, I don't tink the game will get enough attention.

Sorry for the double post but this is new info more or less.

While I'm already sold on the game and don't really expect a major turnaround presentation-wise, I do think it'd be hilarious if they re-reveal it and it's a drastic overhaul that just blows everyone away. Wii U saved, nonbelievers begging for forgiveness in the streets, etc
Really not a fan of the total silence from Nintendo though. I understand Itagaki isn't legally allowed to say anything at the moment but the total lack of acknowledgement sucks. I get it had a "poor showing" at E3 and they probably want to (attempt to) reintroduce it to a warmer reception but c'mon Nintendo.....give us a taste

I was at GameStop today and they were talking about devils third on the GameStop TV thing for a couple of minutes saying its going to release soon
Also I really wished Ivan wasn't bald/ was hoping the protognist was cool looking like ryu hayubusa but I got used to it and now his baldness doesn't really bother me.
