Forums - Nintendo - Are 3rd parties becoming dumb?

Mr Khan on 19 July 2011

Everyone's trying to chase the dragon that is the mobile space, but you never catch the dragon (stupid south park reference, i know)

Also, i thought Crush wasn't a new IP. Wasn't that a PSP game?

They are doing the same thing as Nintendo, waiting for the Q3-Q4 release window. Really, everyone should just release the software as it gets ready, instead of dumping it all at the Holidays.

Either way, I think this title is set to release with it's bro Shinobi on September... Keeping them together.

isn't it this franchise or is it something entirely new? cuz if so this is not a new IP

and trainwreck nailed it, that's the precise reason why 3rd parties are acting the way they do. it's not a clear cut black and white situation. and this isn't confirmed. Chances are they will release it laterm possibly announce going multiplatform also..or something.

so who wants to guess which 3rd party title will get delayed/cancelled next from the 3ds line up? I do however think after sales pick up (starting this holiday season) more support will come along with some announcements at TGS this year

'becoming dumb'?, I think the question should be 'when will they stop being dumb?'

Right, i thought i remembered it being a PSP game

I disagree with trainwreck's assertion, though. If the game is done as they seem to be indicating, it's worth nothing for them to sit on it

All I can say is that Nintendo is going to have to hurry up development. Their games sell their systems. Nintendo may have wanted to slow their releases to give third parties a chance to succeed but now third parties don't know if the 3DS is going succeed without Nintendo's early support. Nintendo will have to do something quickly. Price drop, early releases of major titles (Mario Kart and Super Mario 3D come to mind), or else they set the stage up for Playstation Vita to overtake them.

It's not new new IP but it's new on a Nintendo's platform.
I just think it's really dumb to sit on the game for half a year when it's already done.

Lets wait till Nintendo releases all their games that will sell millions. That way consumers can overlook our new game and mainly buy the Nintendo published games. Sounds pretty dumb in my opinion.

How ells will they be able to blame Nintendo?

You ask that as if it hadn't happened already.

Anyway, they are just following Nintendo's lead. They too are dumb for believing that third party games don't sell due to competition from first party games and so they try to leave room for third parties to succeed by not releasing their own big games. The result is that hardware sales are lacking and therefore software sales on the whole.

Nintendo pushing hardware sales with first party software is never a mistake, because higher hardware sales lead to higher software sales, including third party games. The only thing ever that was holding back third party software sales on Nintendo systems was a lack of quality.
