| S.T.A.G.E. said: I doubt highly that most people buy Nintendo consoles for their shooters. Some core Nintendo fans will buy the product though. The Japanese are playing catch up when it comes to that genre. Nintendo should give the IP to a PC shooter company and let them go wild with metroid and who knows? It might become a blockbuster. Nintendo is giving the SSB to Namco this time around, so people will definitely start taking the franchise more seriously since they are will be behind it. |
1. Nintendo isn't really giving Smash Bros to Namco. Namco is developing Smash Bros 4 in the same capacity that Game Arts developed Brawl, which is to say, they're providing the manpower, but probably not much else. Sakurai has a small core around him (Sora ltd), and might have some backup from HAL Labs, that will be doing the real directive work.
2. Metroid is not a shooter. It should not be conceived of as a shooter. That was what made Prime Hunters so meh.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
