ryuzaki57 said: That's an urban legend : TecmoKoei, NIS, Konami, Compile Heart, Marvelous AQL have no games planned on Nintendo consoles. NamcoBandai and SquareEnix have only one each (One Piece and Bravery Default 2 respectively) and focus all their other ressources on Playsation and Xbox. Japanese companies who do support Nintendo (Sega, Capcom, Level-5) have an equal number of projects on other systems as well. |
Do Marvelous have ANY titles announced for release on ANY console at the moment?
Tecmo Koei have hinted at a Pokemon Conquest sequel, and they have a title set for release on Wii U in Japan, namely this one (there's another game from the same series set for release on 3DS at the same time). And another Nobunaga's Ambition game for 3DS. Meanwhile, they don't appear to have any titles set for PS4 or XBO.
And from what I can tell, none of the publishers you mention in the first sentence have any games announced for PS4 or XBO, either.
Namco Bandai have Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures coming to the Wii U and 3DS, as well as Saban's Power Rangers Megaforce coming to the 3DS. Also, Project X Zone is about to release in the west.
Meanwhile, Square Enix's entire output for the rest of this year, as far as I can tell, consists of Final Fantasy XIV on PC, Lightning Returns in Japan, Lord of Vermillion 3 (Arcade only), and ports of Final Fantasy X and X-2. Are we *really* surprised that Nintendo platforms aren't represented when the only game released by Square Enix that is to be found on consoles and is not an up-port of a PS2 game is Lightning Returns, which releases only in Japan this year?
Meanwhile, if you look at "Japanese companies that do support Nintendo", you'll find that none of them have announced their 2014 games at all for Nintendo platforms, yet. Indeed, nobody has - even Nintendo has barely done so. I think that 2014 games aren't being announced for Nintendo platforms yet, and it's not just Wii U, so it's not a "waiting until sales improve" thing - 3DS games aren't being announced, either. Do you really believe that no third-party 3DS titles are in development for 2014?
