Tomonobu Itagaki is continuing to share a few details about Devil’s Third over on his Facebook page. Here’s a roundup of the latest information:

– Devil’s Third meaning has to do with music
– Might be referring to a “tritone,” a musical interval composed of three whole tunes or six half tones
– This is colloquially sometimes referred to as “The Devil’s Interval”
– Unknown right now if this is what he meant

On whether Devil’s Third will feature both a single and multiplayer campaign:

“We made this game for single play (campaign) and online online multiplay gamers. ‘Cuz I know I have to respond to expectations by both gamers. So, in fact, we invested double amount of resources than general development in this industry, to accomplish to develop this game. I can’t show you specific length of single play mode, ‘cuz we’re still tuning this game. But you can estimate the total length of single play mode, by my saying above.”

Itagaki also said that the specs for Devil’s Third, which includes framerate and resolution, are still being worked on.

As our celebration of the Nintendo DS’ 10th birthday draws to a close, the Nintendo Everything staff got together to discuss the games we thought defined the console for us. You’ve probably noticed all the DS-centric listicles we’ve been posting over the last few weeks, but these were all user-voted so we didn’t exactly have much control over the games that made the list. So with that in mind we’re adding in our opinions on everything from the best soundtracks to the most disappointing titles, including a few games that didn’t make the original lists.

Each of the staff members contributing has their own unique gaming tastes and just so you know exactly who to argue with in the comments section, the guys who you’ll be hearing from in this article are:
