Witcher 3 = Zelda wii u
Shooter = Splatoon / d.Third
Andything popular missing? |
Well I'd say why finance Devil's Third, that would be better off financing a similar type of game from a Western studio.
Zelda is fine, another fantasy type RPG to go with it wouldn't hurt though.
They should have another competetive FPS (not Metroid, *competetive* Nintendo, no one would care about COD if it was just a 1 player game) in the portfolio. Splatoon + a FPS title is starting to get to decent coverage.
Skylanders and Minecraft style games ... yeah sure why not.
More sports games ... still missing.
Also enough with these rinky dink small scale cross overs, if you're going to do a cross over then why not do a cross over that could legitimately be big? SMT x Fire Emblem realistically isn't going to do sh*t for the Wii U, but Zelda x Final Fantasy or something would.

I doubt that SE would be interested in such a crossover. Plus it would take at least 5 or 6 years to happen. That would mean that SE would need to start planning for the system that comes after NX for a Zelda/FF crossover.

Yes I'm sure Square-Enix has no interest in another 3-4 million selling IP, when they whore out Final Fantasy in every way imaginable. "Nintendo Hearts" to be honest is something that should happen, it would make both Nintendo and Square-Enix a ton of money.
It's really Nintendo that has the problem likely. They don't want to share the spotlight too much, so they purposely opt for lower key cross overs ... like Pokemon x Nobunga's Amibition or whatever ... talk about a completely freaking random cross over. I get that they don't want to lose control of their main IP, but if you're going to make these cross over titles, I think making 1 big one would be preferable to like 3 or 4 little ones that don't give you a big return.
Mario x Sonic Olympics, why not Mario x Dragon Quest? Which would sell more? Lets be real here.
|
Mario x Dragon Quest wouldn't sell outside of Japan. You can't blame Nintendo for protecting their IPs when they're so valuable. Look at what they can spawn. There's whole theme park rides being made based on them. Sony is chomping at the bit to get their hands on them so they can make movies with them. Their IPs are probably among the most valuable in gaming today. But it still doesn't mean that a big crossover would work for either company.
|
Actually pretty much anything with Mario on the box sells 1 million+ minimum. It's part of the reason why Nintendo puts Mario in everything.
Truthfully if they wanted to make Dragon Quest better known in the West, that would be one of the best ways to do it.
I think Nintendo's issue is more that they actually are afraid the games would be *too* successful and then they might be beholden to a third party. I get the sense they kind of like their standing as Japan's top publisher and don't want to help others gain on the success of their IP. Which is prideful, but I don't know if its smart given their market position.

They have every right to be prideful. They turned a hanafuda card company into a billion dollar corporation. Lets say you had this IP that was worth tons of money. Would you be whoring it out to every 2 bit operation around? You'd damage your franchise, your brand, and eventually your own profitability. I know I wouldn't trust SE with Nintendo IPs after seeing what they did to their own flagship franchise FFXIII.
