| Picko said: Nintendo hasn't had great third party support for well over 10 years now. The Wii situation is little different to the Gamecube and N64 experience. Secrecy didn't hurt Nintendo, being arseholes in the late 80s / early 90s did. |
That killed the N64 for sure, but everything I have read indicates that Nintendo had very good relations with 3rd parties during the GC years. (not ps2 level, sure, but that's a natural result of market share) And without a doubt they had good relations with GBA and DS developers (who are in many cases, the same companies that develop for consoles).
