You'll note many of those IP never made it to North America which is Nintendo's biggest market. Also as you said they never put muscle into developing the franchises. Nintendo needs to franchise them , make more then one title in the franchise and support it with some good marketing and products. Pikmin is the last franchise I saw with a lot of potential. But Nintendo hasn't released Pikmin3 yet and they should make sure that when they do they market it huge and work to establish it as a core franchise. Of course if Nintendo wants to build good IP they also have to remember to target their main market (North America). Lets face it while Square and Sony and all the other major Japanese publishers are targeting American , Nintendo still seems content focusing on Japan. Some more North American studios making games targeting our demographics would probably help immensely. |
This. On another note, NOA and NOE dont develop games?! IT begs the question how big is NOA and what the hell have they been doing and what the hell do they do??
