Agree. Having both core and casual games is the way to go IMO. Games for both audiences. I like what Namco is doing too. But as for smaller companies like Marvelous and such I'd say just make core games only since they're not very big and they don't need teams for both :) |
Marvelous will be the next Squeenix I could say, I even bet on it :) Theyre just a publisher though so they have no internal teams to develop their own games :(
Anyway, I think the main focus of Nintendo right now are the small 3rd parties and the ones that really support the Wii like Namco Bandai, Hudson, SEGA, Marvelous, Arika, Tecmo, etc... than the big third parties like Konami and Squeenix. And it should be fair, its the perfect time that these small companies should be on the spotlight for once.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
