| Michael-5 said: Disaster: Day of Crisis never localized here, and aren't the last 2 only published by Nintendo? That would be like calling Titanfall an MS IP. Still, look what the Wii franchises did for Nintendo. That's 2 IP's in all of Wii's life, not bad, but now I want WiiU to see something. |
An American localization or even a Western one is not a requirement to acknowledge the existance of a game. Disaster: Day of Crisis still exists, and there are various ways to play the game if you're interested (homebrew, PC emulation, etc). After all, we're in a global forum, so why should we stick to NA releases only in this context ?
And yes, Endless Ocean and Hotel Dusk are externally-developed IPs, but unlike TitalFall (published by EA), they're Nintendo-owned IPs, published worldwide by them. Similar to Ratchet and Clank (developed by Insomniac), The Order: 1886 (Ready at Dawn), Gears of War (Epic Games), Lost Odyssey (Mistwalker/FeelPlus) or Heavenly Sword (Ninja Theory). Now, given that pretty much all big publishers engage in this practice, how is it justified to single out Nintendo here ? All that matters here is who owns the IP. And if some don't feel like giving Nintendo credit for those IPs, then they should at least apply the same criteria to Sony/Microsoft. No double-standards.
Finally, please read my previous post regarding the subject. There's a list there of many other new IPs produced recently by Nintendo, and there's even more than that...
