<p>The man who brought you<em> Dead or Alive</em> and <em>Ninja Gaiden</em> says he wants to demolish &#8220;the standard of past console games in online multiplayer.&#8221; That man is none other than Tomonobu Itagaki, who recently shared the latest details on next year&#8217;s explosive – and rather mature – action game of <em>Devil&#8217;s Third </em>for Wii U.</p>
<p>On his Facebook page, Itagaki shared a bullet-point list of information about Devil&#8217;s Third&#8217;s development. Originally slated for release this year, Itagaki claims that the game&#8217;s development is &#8220;going smoothly&#8221; and that developer Valhalla Game Studios finished editing the game&#8217;s final cutscene &#8220;the other day.&#8221;</p>
<p>The IP that once began life at the now defunct THQ will deliver an entirely &#8220;new level of playability,&#8221; according to Itagaki. Looking closely at games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Gears of War, and Halo – the last of which he claims is a personal favorite – Itagaki claims he that <em>Devil&#8217;s Third</em> will even that of Ninja Gaiden in its scope and mechanics.</p>
<p>He claimed further that anyone, from &#8220;casual gamers to hard-core gamers&#8221; can enjoy the game, a game that you can play at a &#8220;fun party, or can kill each other in realistic war.&#8221; He couldn&#8217;t say how close that war is to release, but he did say that fans&#8217; anticipation was inevitably &#8220;hard on a man.&#8221;</p>
<p>See the insanity for yourself in the trailer below that Nintendo released this past E3 capturing the game&#8217;s rather cavalier attitude:</p>
