Nintendo has balls all right, but it just cost them major 3rd party support.


/Thread.


Are we sure though? Didn't the wii U's 3rd party support die once sale numbers came in for both hardware and software. I remember EA, Activision, Ubisoft.. All the big guns supported Wii U at launch.

Every major 3rd party supports every major platform release. Even the N-Gage had some support, tough it never took off. Its not that expensive to make a couple of launch titles, and see what happenes from there on. Too bad that most games underperformed on the U.

Nintendo came off from their most successfull console ever, and they fall on face. They should simply go handheld only IMO, at least there japanese developers are trully standing behind them

the latest rumours say that Sony had also plans for DRM but hold them because of the reactions after the XBone reveal! They might or might not be giving it to that but thats not the matter right now!

it is no wonder why EA dropped the online pass system. The XBone will have DRM and such don't require these online passes. The question is:

Have EA done this decision only for 1 console? I think NOT!

 

Without Sony on the DRM train, EA wouldn't have abandoned online passes. Its easy to let Nintendo in the dust because they won't get as much third party support as the other consoles devs.

the point is: with Sony holding their plans for DRM, EA is rethinking their strategy thus admit after the XBOne reveal that they would work at Nintendo titles. It is up to Sony and their decision.

 

That is complete bullshit what is going on! I'm disgusted with this industry right now! I'm more disgusted by many people here in this very forum who praise Sony to the death and give Nintendo zero shits. Nintendo was in my eyes the ONLY company who don't give in to EA mad game by not letting them put origin on their system. That would have made DRM on the Wii U available and EA would make more games for the Wii U.

NIntendo is the only ones who has the balls to do that! Everybody who praise Sony should or rather must praise NIntendo AT LEAST equally. Things people criticise about other console are a naturalness for Nintendo: Backwards compatibility, support of last gens controller, no not supporting used games! no paying extra for play used games! no mandatory installation of games. The Wii U may be weaker than its competitors and hasn't had a game in the last months but games will come and they will be amazing! 

people should learn not to support these stupid decisions made by greedy companies and not to buy them in order to let them know that they can't bullshit us! For the sakemof all of us I hope that Sony won't give in to DRM....Its just not worth it!

 

...and its a shame Nintendo don't get the proper credits they deserve! 

 

I'm out...peace!


WTF? Andyou are seriously not banned for this?

You simply imply things without haveing any hard evidence. All that Origin on the U talk is probably juts a rumor, dont pump yourself up, and live out your own frustration on other console fans and 3rd party developers.

Nintendo f***ed it up, deal with it. If you have an issue, take it up with Nintendo, they are screwing themselves every second step...

I can't actually blame him for his point of view about this whole mess, I'm seeing most better known gaming sites not mentioning (even ignoring) Nintendo about there stance about this whole situation

Nintendo don't deserve anything as the production costs of making yet another Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Sonic etc is incredibly low compared to a standard AAA title.

Care to elaborate? This is their first foray in HD and all such. But I have to admit the $60 price tag is really steep for my taste and in this frail economy... :/

I would consider this fact!

If their first party portfolio was not just regurgitation. I'm still upset that they've invested very little of that money from the wii's success into new game experiences.

I guess, investing $400 millions on an NFL deal is better instead... >.>

Investing in 5 new AAA IPs in one year is. Sony wins.

 

Care to elaborate? Don't know anything about new IP besides Knack.

I want to know that myself, at least it's better than what I said about the Microsoft/NFL deal... ;)


PS All stars, The Last of Us, Pupeteer, Beyond 2 souls, Dust 514- but they still bring out the big guns like God of War and GT6.

Not to mention all the smaller title like: Guacamelee, Rain and Counterspy, Doki DOki Universe etc

Its generally been in their mantra: ps3's launch year had Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Folklore and Lair. All new IPs

The execution isn't always on point, I very much appreciate the effort.

Forgive me, I thought we were talking about the PS4, but I have to admit, Sony did better with the PS3 launch with 6 games, unlike Nintendo's own IP's which is just two... :'(

PS4 should have a similar number as well. We haven't reached E3, yet we already have 2 new IPS set for launch day; Knack and Drive Club.

I know Drive Club isn't that exciting but still... I expect at E3 we'll see another 3-4 IPs due for ps4's 1st 12month. Not long to wait now.

Ehm, wat?

Actually the Legend of Zelda games are the most expensive for Nintendo to develop. Skyward Sword has been in development for six years and was the most expensive Legend of Zelda to date. Zelda U is shaping up to be even more expensive. Metroid's production values are as high as those of any other AAA game, so it shouldn't be unreasonable to assume it wasn't exactly cheap to produce them.
