Nintendo fans: We only buy first party games because all devs suck compared to Nintendo.

Third party dev goes bankrupt.

Nintendo fans: Nintendo should buy Capcom/Crytek/Atlus/etc. [random franchise here] is an amazing series!

*facepalm*


You know, you could put that for Sony and MS fans too. It's not really exclusive to Nintendo fans (nor indicative of how most of them think) at all.

Hum... No. Sony and MS fans don't trash third parties the way Nintendo fans do (in general).

Sony fans can't help themselves when it comes to generalizing other fanbases, can they? See what I did there?

Capcom... Crytek... May the age of the Great Spending Spree begin.


Crytek would be a much better investment than Capcom. Even Nintendo doesn't know how to get the most out of their own hardware.


Capcom would be a much better investment. Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, [franchise] Vs Capcom and Mega Man compared to Crysis and TimeSplitters..? MT Framework and Panta Rhei compared to just the CryEngine..?

It would be worth buying Capcom because they not only have superior IPs and two engines, but they also own several developers.

Crytek are a high profile indie developer with a high profile engine and not a great deal of valuable IPs. Capcom are a high profile publisher with two high profile engines, a great deal of valuable IPs, will give Nintendo access to every single legacy game for the VC and own several developers.

And most importantly of all it would give them the second biggest IP in Japan exclusively to both their home and portable consoles until they say otherwise.

And if all that wasn't enough Capcom also have a good foothold in the mobile market too.

There's really no competition tbh.

Its so fun to see 3rd parties who's supposed to 'support' Nintendo now falling left and right... I'd be happy to see some EA news soon... )

Boy you guys just want Nintendo to buy everything don't you?

Mostly because they never buy anything.

Nintendo should buy PART of Crytek. In particular, Austin (merge it with Retro to have two AAA teams there) and UK ( rename it and have them work on a flagship FPS). Crytek probably expanded too quickly. Nintendo could offer them cash for those two studios who are both state-of-the-art and full of staff that worked formally on prized Nintendo exclusives - especially UK which has a great deal of Rare talent. Nintendo could give them lots of millions to get Crytek out of trouble and allow them to continue doing what they love doing, and Nintendo could have a couple new studios with skilled talent making western-styled new IP's in no time. It actually makes perfect sense.

That's honestly an good idea. As opposed to buying Crytek itself, which wouldn't fit at all.
