Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Emily Rogers made a new blog post about the NX's software output

Hey my uncle works at Nintendo, and he said "That ho is lying".

I don't even want like 20+ Nintendo games a year. That's too many to buy, 15-16 Nintendo NX titles per year is more than enough and you basically get that amount by unifying platforms and reducing software redundancies (ie: no need for multiple Mario & Sonic games).

A first year lineup of say

-snip-
That would be a hell of a first year, but that's still only 15-16 games. If you have any more, realistically third parties have basically no shot at selling and if this is a unified platform likely at least you're going to have the Yokai Watch, Monster Hunter, and Dragon Quest devs needing some space too. 

But wouldn't more 1st party games sell more systems which in turn make a bigger userbase for 3rd parties to sell? I mean the no 1st party games didn't exactly help 3rd parties with the Wii U in the first few months.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Oh man that's a lot for a single year, definitely there's a high chance that she's actually being hyperbolic or she thinks that the Wii U's 1st party output was a lot worse than it really was.

I hope increasing their software output doesn't mean making more stuff like Amiibo festival and that Mario tennis game.

And it's juicy.

Everyone knows Emily Rogers. She made a blog post. It's about NX software. It's, um, really bullish. (aggressively confident) More bullish than me.

Basically, what she claims is that the NX will have an insane output of software, one that will eclipse what the Wii U did in 3-4 years in only one. I personally think that's a load of hooplah. That's she's exadurating. But she specifically says she's not using hyperbole. The reasons here souces give her for this are as follows.

- The big fundamental focal point (and overall goal) behind NX is to vastly increase the software output from Nintendo’s first party teams and studios.

- To accomplish this, the entire process of how Nintendo develops and produces software has gone through radical changes.

- There is a new strategy that was put in place to create and release first party software at a faster rate.

- Multiple unannounced Wii U projects were moved over to NX.

- The NX could potentially see the highest output of first party software in the company’s history. (She's talking about the entire lifespan of NX. Not just one or two years.)

The most important part of those are the first three points. We already know about Nintendo's unification of divisions and the recent reoganization of their company, but if she's right, and I have no reason to doubt that she is with at least those first four points, there has been much more going on behind the scenes than I think many of us have taken into account.

In case you're an idiot and can't count, that's 39 games. She expects the NX to exclipse 39 Nintendo-published games in 12 months. Um.

I believe her but I think she's exaggerating a lot, even if she says she's not. What she's claiming is incredebly unrealistic. But, you know, it's fun to talk about. And dream.

Here's the full post: https://arcadegirl64.wordpress.com/?blogsub=confirming#subscribe-blog

Also, the games could all be shit because of how unceremoniously they're pumped out, so there's that to consider. RIP holiday 2015.

Plot twist: Nintendo actually makes more than 39 games in 12 months, but they're all crappy "free to play" amiibo games.

Sure, why not. Incredibly good news.

EDIT: "- The big fundamental focal point (and overall goal) behind NX is to vastly increase the software output from Nintendo’s first party teams and studios."

Marvellous. The focal point is first party software, not third party software. NX could turn out to be the best gaming platform ever.

Regardles of how much cynicism you may or may not have used on your post, I think this is the most hopefull rumor so far. We already have plenty of third party boxes to choose from, anyway. Hope Ninty just focus on its thing.

Sorry, I forgot she set her profile to private.



im a bit worried.
an absurd quantity of games maybe can mean less quality games...

That's actually a bit worrying if true as I don't think the problem was with Nintendo's first party stuff. They need to appeal to third parties more.

The speeding up development makes me wonder if they'll reduce quality or not.

I think their bigger problem is with third party, but their first party output was definitely an issue with Wii U.

But beating out the Wii U's output of software in only one year? Not even remotely realistic.

 I think she exaggerated indeed. She's probably implying that it will have a great amount of high profile exclusives very fast... much faster than Wii U. Like, instead of having 8-10 games per year, NX might actually have 20 or something.

Nintendo kind of did that with the GameCube already. Remember it got a 3D Mario, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, mainline Zelda, Star Fox, F-Zero, Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Metroid. etc. within its first 2 years. That's why it sold decently well on the beginning.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Geez, why are people so naïve. Believing in promises made by your first encounter on the net stating that he has "information" on the NX or a possible PS4.5

I want you to sit down before you read the statement below:

The PS4.5 is a real thing. It's happening.

Having 20 would be a fucking dream. I always say, just have four big AAA games every year. One in early March, one in late May, one in early September, and one in late November. Then sprinkle the rest of the year with smaller stuff. 20 games in a year would be more than enough.
