I really wish they had a publisher for a retail version... Wish Nintendo was the publisher.

Nintendo could have just got them to make F-Zero

Shin'en is just three guys, they can't do a F-Zero, there are too few to make a complex game with that kind of depth, except if Nintendo aquires Shin'en and VD Dev then they merge them into one and call it like "Visual Design Group Shin'en". Still it would be a six man team, at least they are highly advanced compared to most, maybe Retro Studios could aid them :P


Nintendo should open an Indie Division. Small developers who have proven themselves get taken in by Nintendo and expanded (not merged), allowing them to grow in their own time. I'll assume here that Nintendo has the money to purchase a handfull of Indie Devs and double or even triple their workforce over the next year. Release eShop titles during the initial growth of the studio, moving on to retail copies when the studio is big enough to produce games that justify the higher price tag.

OT: I haven't played FRL just yet, but the phase shifting looks like a fun mechanic and it'll be nice to see what they come up with for this title. As for the visuals, I'm pretty confident this will be one of the best looking titles of 2013 acrosss all platforms.

That is a great, yet I think if VD Dev and Shin'en merged that it will raise the amount of content in games and both of these teams are very experienced, newcomers would take time to trained and it is better to have from the start a experienced team that has made many games and has more than a decade of an experience. FAST Raing NEO is for 2014 not 2013, early 2014.

Thanks for pointing that out, wasn't thinking :P

I understand your point, I feel that while these studios apparently can both deliver, their styles differ too much to merge them. Both of these teams are indeed experienced, in their own way. A newcomer doesn't automatically mean he's inexperienced either, and a smooth transition to a single studio takes time and effort as well and it's a riskier endeavour I reckon. Also, keeping them seperate and expanding them gets you two awesome studios instead of just one.

cars...?

look at the in-game model of the "CAR"??

isn't it spaceships a la f.zero ?


They are way more like cars than spaceships afterall a space ship travels through space between planets if it flies glides levitates over a track its like a hover car.

Dude.... I wrote that Shin'en is german developer right from the start of the thread... Wow.

So VD Dev is French, they are not far from each other so transition should be smooth, hopefully VD Dev is not in Paris. My friend talked about Paris.

You can get mugged in broad daylight on the clearest day :P
