Screamapillar on 25 January 2013
| pokoko said: I've said for awhile that Nintendo needs a wholly owned studio or two to develop games slanted toward an older demographic. If they're shy about the association, they can just create a separate publishing group--it would be separate in name only, really, but it would still keep the illusion intact. I don't really understand why Nintendo avoids other styles of gaming so completely. On the subject, I think Sony needs to hire ex-Nintendo developers (or developers from similar studios) to create IPs aimed at children. Did anyone else look at the THQ auction list and think that Nintendo missed some good opportunities? Can you imagine Darksiders 3 as a Nintendo exclusive, for example? |
Better yet, Vigil co-developing the new Wii U Zelda along with Aonuma's team at EAD? Similar to Sakurai's team working with Namco on SSB 4. Imagine how much faster development would be if Vigil handled the grunt work, some basic side-quest content, and maybe the weapons/item upgrade system to make it a deeper gameplay component than what it was in Skyward Sword. That way EAD could handle the overall vision of the game and make sure everything is to their liking and up to the quality standards.
The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
