It's more a general goodwill move towards the hardcore than a direct bid to sell Wii Us. Really it was the "desperate" line that bothered me. But Nintendo has at least partial control over Razor's Edge, so it is likely that none of this stuff will go to PS360 ever (assuming Sigma 3 does get made, they'll have to use someone else, or Team Ninja will legally have to recode kasumi from scratch) |
Surely a goodwill move for Nintendo but incredible badwill on Tecmo's side as an increasing number of PS3/360 owners voice their concern of being ignored like this. Let's remember they do have a NGS2+ and a DOA5+ to sell and Vita owners are likely to possess PS3. Try to sell ports to an angried fanbase can be tricky. For much as we know, they could very well add Kasumi to NGS2+ but that doesn't seem to be on the agenda whereas NIntendo has no control over this particular game. Team Ninja and Tecmo just allied themselves with Nintendo against their current fanbase and that's a very hazardous thing to do.
Btw Tecmo is still editing NG3RE in Japan so nothing prevents us to get at least the Japanese version (like Tales of Vesperia). But I do expect them to recode from scratch if needed, which would be the least they could do after turning their back at us like that.
