Forums - Nintendo - Fez creator rants about the 3DS

I've played Fez, it's good. Not great. I don't know why this guy thinks he's so special. I could care less if your game is ported to wii u.

He really makes sense. Good to see people like him in the industry. Bravo.

The Monter Hunter games sold millions on PSP. There's a reason for that. It's because the PSP doesn't have Pokemon or Mario. Monster Hunter pretty much had the PSP all to itself. Monster Hunter on the 3DS will have trouble reaching the same success as the PSP since it has a lot more competition. This is why you see 3rd party games selling better on Vita or PSP instead of DS or 3DS. 

Yes, the games should be where they sell best and for Monster Hunter that should be the PSP or Vita. Capcom has to build a fanbase for the franchise on the 3DS when there is already one on the PSP. If they had made a Monster Hunter game for Vita, it would have been a smooth transition. But Nintendo stepped in and pulled a Microsoft. Now look at the Japanese market. Look how dreadful those sales are across the board....3DS isn't picking up the slack for the Vita.  This may sound crazy but the lack of Monster Hunter on the Vita due to some Nintendo/Capcom deal has hurt the games industry in Japan.

Wow, so 3DS isn't just responsible for it's own impressive sales, it's actually supposed to "pick-up the slack" for Vita's appalling sales as well?  I have even more respect for 3DS now knowing the burden that it has been left to bear from it's competition.

Monster Hunter sold "like shit" on Sony home consoles because it didn't become the juggernaut it is until the PSP releases. The Wii game released after Monster Hunter exploded in popularity. 3rd Party games DO NOT sell better on 3DS. Looking at games that have released on both 3DS/Vita you see that some have actually sold better on Vita despite the much lower install base.

A perfect example is Rayman Origins.
0.03m on 3DS
0.31m on Vita

Fifa Soccer 13
0.13m on 3DS
0.18m on Vita

3rd party games sell exponentially better on Vita despite that MUCH MUCH lower install base. That is reason enough for a game like Monster Hunter to be on Vita. Not only because the fanbase is there, but because it will sell more.

And you are basing your arguments on the results of a delayed game on the 3DS and a franchise that usually performs better on Sony devices, yeah right.

A rather weak claim, if you ask me. The thing is that with as both systems are new not a long number of multiplattform franchises have been released for both handhelds. For example I could say that Sega must be mad with PSV because their version of Super Monkey Ball, which was quite advertised, didn't even charted in it's japanese launch. Now, I could just keep going saying that this is the perfect example to show how great the 3DS is for 3rd parties as the 3DS version fared a lot better. But that would not be correct, would it?

Anyways, the guy states some obvious points but the outrage is not necesary, but who can't blame him, all canadian devs suck, amarite?

The controls by default.

Bigger and more varied world (512MB vs 128MB ram) and textures like they werent ripped from a PS2 game.

The controls? That's absolutely laughable.

I'm sorry you have not played MH3U on the 3DS, I'm not even sure you have held a 3DS at all, but it's really comfortable to use. With the CPP it's even better and you have the very handy touchscreen all the time.

The controls would not be better on Vita, it's just an excuse people cling on because they are upset they didn't get the game on their platform of choice.

Surely you don't believe this. With the CPP, it's comparable. Without it, you go back to the claw.

No. You can control the camera with the 3DS touchscreen, which while not perfect, is much better than the PSP method.

There is no claw involved in playing MH3U on 3DS. Try it. Find a friend with a 3DS, download the demo, whatever. Just try it. It works great.

That's wrong. The claw describes a method of play where you control the character and camera rotation with one and the same hand. Without a CPP on the 3DS, you can rotate the camera by pressing a virtual d-pad on the touchscreen with your right thumb which is nearly identical to the use of a right analog stick. Aside from that, you can center the camera behind your character with the L button or activate a monster lock-on icon on the touchscreen which prompts the camera to center on the monster with a press of the L button.

Yes. I know what the claw. I used in a sense as an annoying system you had to use in order to play the game. Did not literally mean using your hands in the configuration.

I'll ignore my 3DS and the demo I downloaded and follow your steps then. Trying it on a friends will certainly make it better.
