I don't think they have any promotions going on, but I know a lot of people were expecting Nintendo to do some cross promotion like they did with Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei 4 on 3DS.

 

i just found it, they do: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/07/purchase_pikmin_3_and_receive_a_30_percent_eshop_discount_on_the_wonderful_101

but yurop.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

the next Rareware ?


LOL...No. Platinum Games is kind of like a revival of old Capcom and Sega glory, which means incredibly niche but great experiences almost exclusvely for the core gamer.  Rare was western gaming at its most creative. The closest company to having the creativity of creating new IP's on a level of Rare is Naughty Dog. I probably shouldn't be giving them that much credit but they keep putting out hit after hit. It's like everything they create turns to gold, much like Rare.

Thread title is wrong. It's just Kamiya who said that he'd be happy with being 2nd party. Of course, why would Nintendo want that?


Yeah, why WOULD they want one of the most talented Japanese developers making games exclusively for their consoles? How stupid, right?

Because their games don't sell.

Looking at the amount of post in this thread, one imagine their games selling a lot.

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Viewtiful Joe, Okami, MadWorld, Bayonetta, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengence would all like to have words with you on that "don't sell" front.

Because Nintendo can't put Platinum on one of their big IPs that would sell? Yeah, that would be as crazy as trusting good ol' Metroid and Donkey Kong to a Western developer or something...

oh yes
Hopefully, there is a massive meltdown because i need a good laugh


Over platinum games?? I doubt anyone even cares.


I would have said the same thing before the idiocy that was the Bayonetta 2 exclusivity meltdown.

That western developer has always been a NIntendo developer.

How does that affect sales? People didn't buy Metroid Prime just cos Retro were owned by Nintendo.
