| Soundwave said: 1) I actually think it'd be somewhat interesting if Nintendo just accepted that Western 3rd party devs treat them like crap and just started to fill out the holes in their software library on their own, relying on multi-plats more for things like yearly sports game updates and that's it.
2) If I'm Nintendo, I'd perhaps look at some cheap options to expand the diversity of my catalog. Contract the Darksiders and Saint's Row teams to make a fantasy-action IP and a sandbox game, since THq is now defunt both teams are likely deserpate for work. I'd maybe look at picking up an underutilized movie license ... perhaps something like Mission: Impossible (could do some neat things with the Wii U tablet with that for sure), so you're not building completely unknown IPs every time. |
1) To be honest, if I was 3rd party developer, and saw Nintendo's push for 3rd parties on WiiU, and than saw how they undedeveloped their hardware in some cruical areas that will just raise the price for me if I want to develop for it (and it will, considering all current and future HD consoles have/will have powerful CPUs, so I have to do special "GeePeeGeePee U" magic, if that's even possible for some of game code that is performing poorly, like AI, or make my port performing/looking worse compared to other versions), quite possibly I might be pretty pissed at Nintendo to.
2) I'm hoping they will do exatly that - they have enough money and IPs from which to draw to make some new and exciting IPs that will bring back N64 diversity they ones had. That said, as I mentioned before - Guardians of Zelda (Shadows of the Hylians), action-adventure-RPG with Shekiahs in main role, for me please :)
