Is Square-Enix due for a Nintendo franchise revival?

They also aren't going to spend Final Fantasy XV kinds of money in development. I'm thinking more Crystal Bearers for Wii money, which would mean development wouldn't really cost all that much. I think you're also assuming they'd put their main developers on the project which would not be the case, XV and KHIII would still take priority for those teams while this is made by the same devs who make all those 3DS titles. It just lets some of the smaller dev teams stretch their creative legs.

That just makes more incentive for them not to go to Nintendo...if the development isn't gonna cost that much then they don't need Nintendo to cover the costs...they self publish it, make way more money from each game sold and end up making more money than if Nintendo published it.  You just proved my point.

You're assuming they want to self publish any game that won't sell over 2 mill. Nintendo covering the costs would make them want to do it, and take another shot at a franchise they otherwise wouldn't develop. They are getting paid up front for a game to develop it. They wouldn't want to take the risk of self publishing if they are worried about the profits. I'm not proving your point, I'm proving Platinum's with Bayo 2.

If there is a game that they are not sure they can make a profit on then its not worth making for them, its better to just make another game that has more potental.  Once again you proved my point by bringing up Platinum and Bayo 2, Platinum is not a publishing company, they needed Nintendo that is completely different from SE.  SE is a publishing and development company, they benefit more from publishing their own games and its not just a little bit, they get a significant amount more from each game sold, no reason to give that cut to Nintendo.
