Nintendo is to blame?
You said it right there, nintendo managed to turn around Retro Studios, which was in shambles before Nintendo of Japan basically came in and cleaned house.
Nintendo treated Next Level Games so well that they stated they "We have worked with a lot of other companies before, and we're super happy with our relationship with Nintendo. There's no reason to look anywhere else. They keep giving us better and better IP to work with, and as long as we do our job and make good games for them there's no reason for us to venture out."
Rare was one of the hottest game devs under Nintendo, then they went to Microsoft and turned to shit?
If Nintendo can make three western devs under its belt produce excellent games and NST can't? Maybe NST were just not good enough?

This is an amazing thread. We're seeing all the deny, deflect, and discredit reactions up close and personal. The best so far have been from people who didn't even watch the video, which always makes things fun. It's been a joy to witness.
Still, it's a shame that people try to bury the point beneath defensive rhetoric. There is a lot to learn from this and a lot that could be gained from honest discussion. I truly hope that NoA gained some insights from the results of their inquiry and that those results were passed along and given due consideration by upper Nintendo management. After all, they lost millions of dollars over this. |
What's there to learn? This is basically layed off NST devs giving their side of the story. People with a vested interest in showing Nintendo in a bad light. There is no proof of any of these allegations. As I said above, Next Level Games is ecstatic to be working with Nintendo, Retro Studios was turned around by Nintendo...etc etc. Until we get Nintendo's side of the story, these are jsut accusations. Nothing else.

Plus considering how many devs have had nothing but praise for Nintendo with working for them, I have it awfully odd how some nobodies whine about how their game (which just wasn't any fun, as shown) was supposedly canceled for racism. Seriously, this is the very definition of bitter, whiny twits trying to make their critics look bad instead of fessing up to their lack of ability. There's really nothing more to discuss.
