Well or just think about their situation. Koei has not been having a lot of success in the 7th generation on any platform. Compared to their success on the PS2, this generation has been a huge fallout. Same for Tecmo, aside from their collaborations with MS. There is a reason the two merged, because if they didn't, there would have been a hostile takeover of both... more than likely from SE. Whether or not Samurai Warriors 3 did well, doesn't mean much. More than likely, this was probably a decent selling title for them. Point is, they need to start expanding and getting more of their products to sell. Partnership through Nintendo seems to be something along those lines. Already seeing Metroid: Other M and now SW3 in the West. I don't think this is as much about Nintendo, but about these guys trying to stay afloat. And maybe people don't like that Nintendo is helping them out (of course in turn helping themselves out) but I think i t is a good decision. Not like Nintendo is acting like a charity case like MS does when paying huge amounts for exclusives, but they are doing it in hopes of turning these games into big sellers and building long-term relationships. As far as we know, this oculd lead to some Dynasty Warriors games on the system. |
I'm just saying... when Fist of the North star comes out. My guess is Koei publishes it for the PS3/360... just like they did all the other DW based games. I find it very odd Nintendo is doing this.
Really I just wish they'd finally make a ROTK 12.
