I think it's a great idea, for several reasons. First, there are some incredibly talented people and studios that Nintendo doesn't own that can obviously make great games, so why not utilitze their talents and skills? Secondly, it gets people excited. When I heard about the new Metroid, I honestly thought "Again, already?" but when I saw it was being developed by Team Ninja, it got me excited and it got people talking about it and generated some early, positive buzz. Third, because Nintendo's first-party line-up has always been so strong, so iconic, by branching out and reaching out and working with these third-party studios, it does help spread some of the love around, but I think that's more a PR thing than anything else. And Finally, while Nintendo has great ideas, it by means doesn't have them all, so seeing how a different studio might come in with a fresh vision, a fresh take on a classic property is something lots of people would pay to see... |
Do you think nintendo will buy one of these developers?

Well they should have enough money by now to buy any of them, but I hope they don't. I like the idea of them outsourcing/partnering more than owning outright. And besides, we know what happened when Microsoft bought Rare...(I miss Rare on Nintendo) :(
