So the boss of Nintendo Canada recently said:
"We still have those great, big third-party partners like Ubisoft who continue to invest in our platforms. In the next few weeks at E3 you’ll be hearing about more big third-party partnerships."
And then
"You’ll hear in a few weeks about some interesting partnerships. We’ve already over the past year opened up and aggressively sought licensing deals in lots of different areas. In the video game space you’ve seen Nintendo characters appear in other game worlds. It’s also happening outside the game world, with the Universal Studios partnership that will bring Nintendo to fans and families through theme parks."
Assuming that at least some of these are explicitly cases of Nintendo shelling out money to get games of various sorts on the Wii U (and/or 3DS), what games might we be about to see? Who will Nintendo have partnered with? What games are about to get Nintendo characters appearing in them that we don't already know about?
Aside from the claim that Ubisoft "continue to invest in our platforms", which either means he's counting the two or three games that are being put on every platform under the sun, he means that stupid unreleased-but-complete party game, or there's going to be some Ubisoft titles announced for Nintendo platforms in the next couple of days, we also have the theoretical potential for other titles.
If we assume that he's not exaggerating, that there really are some notable third-party partnerships set up, some notable games set to be announced/released for Wii U and 3DS... what could they be?
Some theoretical possibilities that would cause meltdowns if they happened (I don't think any of these would actually happen)...
1. Half-Life 3.
2. Beyond Good & Evil 2.
3. Tekken X Street Fighter.
4. Timesplitters 4.
5. Starcraft: Ghost.
6. Call of Duty action-adventure game by Sledgehammer Games.
7. Shenmue 3/Online.
Keep in mind, the above is just there to get people thinking about what the reactions would be if such titles were revealed during the E3 Direct. It's fun to speculate.
