But theres been more than dev, to come out and say the same thing as this guy.

If nintendo treats most game developers this way, its not going to have amasing 3rd party support.

Didnt read the full comments did you? It's the same for the other manufactorers as well which includes Xbox and Sony, this is not a unique case in any way. Is that a wrong strategy? Probably.. but definitely not unique for Nintendo.


That is patently false in regards to Sony. They have been very indie-friendly. From supporting The Witness, No Man's Sky, FireWatch, Rocket league, Oddworld: New N' Tasty. Jonathan Blow even recounted his experience with both Sony and MS:

Blow reached out to Sony about releasing the game on their next console, which led to Sony eventually inviting Blow to their pre-announcement PS4 summit for developers and publishers.

In an interview with Ars Technica, Blow would go on to say how he similarly reached out to Microsoft and was rebuffed. When Blow asked his contact if Microsoft would acknowledge a next-gen Xbox, share its technical specifications, he heard back: “I have no political path to making something like that happen for an independent developer.”

This was prior to either console being released.
