This game looks like a train-wreck and I doubt it'll hold a candle to GunZ2, but if I see this on a Steam sale, I'll be sure to add to my cart.

How much of a discount do you expect on a free-to-play game during this Steam sale?

Hoping for some free in game items I'd wager

So for the few who were planning to get this for Wii U are there any who won't because they'll play it on PC?
I'm in for Wii U if it's $40 or less.

They wasted more money on this thanks to fan outcry. Thanks, guys.
might still get it, would've preferred a retail release for FFV, tho

PC at least guarantees that the framerate issues can probably be worked around via mods?

$5 Steam sale it is then. At least it'll be 1080p and 60fps there.

Can it be?
Naaah
If you actually check out the context behind that slide, It's clear that the only thing they're talking about doing with PC is providing access to account based services. The presentation that that slide is from does not at all imply that Nintendo is going to release games on PC.

Even crazier is there are only two 2016 first-party releases (including Zelda) announced. Only one in Japan. I can't believe somebody hasn't asked why Nintendo doesn't have a single first half 2016 Wii U game.

i strongly believe mario tennis will get pushed back to take the jan feb slot the holidays are really crowded this year for every publisher.

With how much we've heard about the game being bad I'm surprised they are even bothering, and beyond that the game is destined to be a bigger flop than Bayo 2.
Bayonetta 2 sold over half a million units on a console with a very small install base and is approaching the levels that Bayonetta 1 sold on PS3 and 360 (around 1m each). It really wasn't a flop and did rather well all things considered.

I'm sticking with Wii U regardless of price. I'm not a fan of f2p stuff, I don't play PC games, and I want the single-player mode.

That was the game I posted in which game would get delay thread too.
Best Buy has a Mario pin offer for preordering two Nintendo games. Mario Maker, Star Fox, Yoshi, Xenoblade and originally Amiibo Party (there aren't taking preorders anymore) were listed. Mario Tennis is absent.
The thing is though that another game that has Mario playing sports (Olympic Games) is releasing early 2016. Would be a bit of cannibilization.

I wonder what Devil's Third being published by NOA pulls from in the budget.
Probably not anything huge, but I'm sure this is a zero-sum game.

We don't know if there are fps issues in multiplayer on Wii U.
Possibly but no guarantees. And of course a lot depends how it runs in the first place.

Maybe the PC version is the "secretly good version" of the game?
Nah, just kidding...

Nice! I was actually interested in the MP, but sold my wii u. Good to know I still have a chance to check it out.
Q4, meaning probably post XCX
There was a SteamDB entry for Devil's Third F2P half a year ago or so.

Q4 is it
Whatever is happening behind the scenes for this game, I hope one day we get a book on it. Should be really interesting stuff. 
I noticed this in the press release...
It sounds like even the F2P PC version might not be launching in the US before the WiiU release if this is the case. It also sounds like the sort of thing which is targeting Asian and Russian markets rather than US/EU/JP, especially with the talk about it being "optimized via co-development with local publishers".
I remember way back when they tied up with a South Korean publisher/developer to work on the game for tablets and PC, I suppose even though that company closed down they found other partners? Really odd.

That'd be December since XCX comes out on Dec 4th IIRC. That's uber late as it is.
My hope is that NOA and Valhalla really take these criticisms to heart and use the extra time to polish the fuck out of this.

Free: Apparently the price it takes for me to care about Devil's Third.
I'm in for some PC shit, that should rectify those awful frame-rate issues of the Wii U version and hell, free is free.

If there are trading cards this might be more accurate than you think.
The game was originally planned for pc before they moved to Wii U as far as I know, I think most just assumed that version is cancelled with the 360/ps3 ver since Nintendo was the publisher.
You mean besides keeping the game in the news, potentially getting people interested in the SP on WiiU and making revenue from however they decide to monetize the game?

We just went over the f2p thing, dude.
Then you'll have the problem of keyboard and mouse users steamrolling dual analog users and there will most likely be some type of text communication on the PC version.
I think it's saying that the online specifications are tailored to the platform (probably more players at the same time, and the F2P design), not that it is online only because of the PC platform.

I'm betting the PC version is going to be a fucking horrible port and it will seem even more antiquated on such powerful hardware.
