“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Am I the only one that noticed the article says Wii sales have slumped? Did they even notice the last few weeks?

They won't make Kingdom Hearts 3 for handhelds. That was obviously my point.

Also I just said he had a great relationship with Sony. Way to twist things.


Oh so what is it supposed to mean?  If he has a great relationship with Sony he obviously has one with Nintendo as well so why not mention that or you could just say he's never developed a Microsoft title and be done with it, the only reason for making a slanted comment is to try and convince others its coming to a Sony console, but thing is he has a relationship with Square that takes precedent over any relationship with a hardware company... games go where Square wants them to, in KH3 case where Disney and Square want.  

Basically you're not making a solid point by being wishy washy, if you want to champion for Sony, outright say it and make some valid points, if you're going to say he has a relationship with hardware companies mention all of them he has a relationship with not just one cause it will be brought up if you start to debate, if you're going to champion PSWii bring up points that make that valid or PS360 same deal... if you want to have debate/discussion in the forums you're not that convincing if you make a point then retract its importance in your next post.

Also why would he say BBS could be called KH3 if there isn't the possibility of KH3 being put on the handhelds?  It's a main story and just as long as KH1 or 2, with just as much content, it's the first game on PSP that truly feels like a fleshed out PS2 era home console game on the go, so he obviously will put that sort of work into a handheld title and leaves it open that... well Kingdom Hearts can and will go many places.

But that's because you've only read what you wanted to read.

My main point was that they already have the engine for PS360.

This game could sell over 4 mil? Damn. I expected the max to be 3.

Also the "Nomura is PS fanboy is so old", even the next big KH - KH 3D - is on the 3DS, not the PSP2. And it's made by the BBS team. Yeah, check out that commitment...

I only said he has a great relationship with Sony (based on the interview and the things that were said in the past). Not "he's a PS fanboy"...

You guys are digging.

I'm just talking in general...most people who say what you said think Nomura is a Sony worshipper or something. But like Max said, you have to think he also has a good relationship with Nintendo seeing as how he made CoM, 358/2 Days, TWEWY, and now KH 3D for the 3DS.

Also even though they have the engine, they're already making a new one remember?

Also, would they really believe the game would sell better on the HD consoles than the Wii? EM was supposed to be for the HD consoles but moved to the Wii and had great results. Just because they have the engine means nothing...it's not like they can't make a new one for KH3, they make engines all the time.

They're making a new one for the PS360?

I don't know I heard making an engine is very expensive so I would think they want to make the most out of them.

Also, about KH3's sales, it's very hard to say. I'm thinking that it would sell the most on the PS3 in Japan but on the Wii in Americas. I don't really know about EMEAA. That's why I think the safest and the smartest choice would be PS3Wii.

They already have an engine that would work on Wii as well... two in fact... 

Sorry I was actually trying to help you discuss and debate better since you're pretty poor at making points and I was addressing that rather than actually debate your stance... since I really don't care where it lands and I honestly don't believe it's hitting anything current gen anyway, I play devils advocate when someone doesn't make strong points which happens with you a lot to be honest

Not my fault if you have personal grudge against people maxwell. I'm not the first one with whom you have one. That says a lot.

I expect so much more from a mod.



Mickey on Wii just sold like crazy.  You think Disney and SE aren't taking note of that?



The rEVOLution is not being televised

Ok, let's review some things:

-They already have an engine for all the consoles.

-They can reuse the assets of the previous KHs on the Wii

-They need less time and money developing the game for the Wii

-Epic Mickey just prove that Third Parties big titles with a big Disney Mascot can sell a ton on the console

For me it makes perfect (financial) sense to create a KH for the console, maybe 3 maybe another non-nunbered game.
