Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Father of Megaten working on Cosmic Walker for Wii

griffinA on 27 August 2009

When is Nintendo going to reveal what they're doing with both Cosmic Walker and Dynamic Slash?



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

He hasn't done anything remotely similar to MegaTen since his departure from Atlus, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

 

@ outlawauron

Are you sure he was involved with the story? Advisor usually points to very little actual involvement in the game itself.

Rpg space sim meets dead space?


I fell in love with this the second i saw it. DAMN Nintendo take forever to make their games!!!!



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Well, he was given the title "Creative Director". I don't think he had tons of involvement, but the story was remarkable.

Well, call me when we get some info about this and most of the other October conference games. Not that I'm getting my hopes up for them to come to the USA, but what was the point of showing all those games if we wouldn't know anything about them for more than a year? LOL. Makes no sense, no one is following these games and they don't have hype. They are time bombs, because we will only know about them just weeks before release, therefore bombing like all of the Wii games from that conference did, save for Punch-Out ONLY in the USA, but it underperformed badly considering The Source and ioi were expecting about 5 million at the end of 2009.

I can't get excited for a name only. We only have the name of this game and that's it.

Kind of off-topic, but is this October conference going to focus on the tons of games they showed last year but never released? Or are they going to show 2 second trailers of games we will know nothing about for years to come? What's the point?

@ trestres

i assume we havnt heard anything because a lot of the games have been delayed. they were supppsed to all be hitting japan in 2009 but it looks like this isnt the case.

we know that endless ocean 2, line attack heroes, sin and punishment 2 and span smasher will probably hit the west sometime next year. the only ones we dont know much about are cosmic walker and dynamic slash, which reggie basically said would be at the october conference. we might get news about possible release dates then

We don't know anything about the 2 NHK titles, Dynamic Slash, Cosmic Walker or Kensax. It's 5 games we know nothing about + 3 games we have no info on when they are coming out. We only know S&P is 2010, nothing about the rest. So my last post asks a valid question.
