| Mensrea said: TImesplitters would be tougher. I would love it, but with Bayonetta, and the games I've mentioned, those are all eastern games. Nintendo really only works with eastern devs. I just don't see them putting the time to help fund and develop a western game. Let's face it, Nintendo has it's priorities set firmly in the east. |
There's many examples of them working with Western developers, whether it's by letting them work on their IPs (Mario Strikers, Punch Out !, Excite games, Battalion Wars), funding new games by them (Eternal Darkness, Geist, Fluidity/Hydroventure, probably Lego City Undercover), giving them technical support (UDraw) or letting their IPs to appear in their games (Scribblenauts, NBA Street V3, SSX On Tour).
Still, they do seem to prioritize Japanese development, but this is understandable given how they're a Japanese company, right ? And personally, I'm really glad they do...

Anything that might be financially risky tbh which means a whole wide range of games could be grabbed given todays market.
Unfortunately, this is absolutely true... Nowadays it seems like anything that isn't an established franchise capable of regularly move millions of units is a risk... Development costs are too damn high !!
