Seem like development is going well.

They should start speaking about their others projects

i was about to post this article. Nintendo pay off their debts with third party publishers two generations in a row, the N64 and the GameCube. It isn't right to point your finger at them stating they still treat them as in the late 80's and early 90's. You have seen a different story since Iwata took place as president. When I read articles about developers bashing Nintendo for their hardware when they haven't even developed a game for it, I just call that an immature person. Excuses like the limits of the hardware are just that, excuses to not do anything. Sony and Microsoft have given the wrong impression to the gaming industry by paying money left and right for exclusives, when Nintendo are not going to pay them but to extend their hand and treat them like part of the family. Western developers mostly like money and nothing else. Whereas Nintendo likes money and quality games hand to hand.

"Working with Nintendo, one thing that comes out of that is that we're not able to cover up weaknesses in the core gameplay by making the graphics prettier or adding cut-scenes, or whatever. "The concern, first and foremost, is the core of the game and the quality of the gameplay. They really have our back in that sense. And that's actually a little bit unnerving, working with people who are such perfectionists in that sense."

THIS. yet so many devs forgot what gaming is about.

Short, but very interesting nonetheless. Something we always seem to hear about Nintendo, but it's always great to see the impact they often have on other developers. Hope the game turns out great!

What even are their other projects? We don't know of anything aside from their two Nintendo-published games, do we?

They are working on reboots of Contra, Silent Hill, and Star Fox, and sequels to Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising.

Also, Shenmue III.

This is why Nintendo is awesome.

And "gamers",too, sadly.  Too many of us just want pretty movies that let us push buttons every now and then.

And come Friday's Nintendo Direct, they'll do just that.
