| Soundwave said: A deal with Marvel/Disney for games based on those characters would be a smart deal to make, Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men, etc. are examples of IP that appeal to kids, but appeal equally or even moreso to teenagers and even adults. Nintendo doesn't really have enough of that dynamic. Japanese developers have narrow appeal today, Nintendo needs to wake up and start to collaborate with Western licensees. The console market is 90% in the West now, whether Nintendo likes it or not. Or buy the Bond license (it's available and probably cheap). That wouldn't be bad either. |
While I'd love to see exclusive, non-Ninty content, how can Nintendo get away with that, without the interference from MSony? Its easy to imagine the licensor using Nintendo as leverage vs the other 2, screwing them over. There's a reason we haven't seen much of this, aside from neglected orphans like Bayonetta. The big 2 play dirty and aggressive, and as we know Nintendo does not "compete".
Its kinda sad b/c Nintendo could bring quality and seriousness back to those licenses, but it sounds expensive, not to mention the outsourcing on top of that.
