We have games like Skyrim that sold pretty well, and it's an RPG, but the presentation was western. Nintendo in Japan can still develop japanese games that caters to western audience as long as the presentation/interface caters to that audience. |
I never said they were only about shooters. I didn't even mention shooters. I think that the way Square expanded with it's Eidos department is exaclty what Nintendo's end goal should be. Square now has Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Theif, and Hitman, but they also still have Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, and other classic franchises. If Nintendo had one base like Eidos in the US and different one in Europe, that would end up as a knock out combo with what they currently have in Japan.
I don't think that it's an intelligent move to have these developers working on games to fit a culture they clearly don't understand, when they already have developers that do understand it and live in it.
