Alright when people think buying third party support they think a desperate attempt by a first party to gather support. But is buying third party support a bad thing or could it be a very good thing and should Nintendo do it?
For example Sony bought the rights to the Final Fantasy series signing an exclusive contract with Square-Enix to produce a certain amount of exclusive Final Fantasy games. Microsoft got th DOA series exclusively on the X-Box platforms. Nintendo had bought the rights to the fourth Resident Evil to be exclusive for a certain period of time on its console (GameCube).
Some moves Nintendo has made recently like placing Sonic and Snake in SmashBros. The creators of the franchises had asked that they be put into the game. Nintendo did a favour for Sega and Konami by promoting their series in the most famous fighter on the market.
So should Nintendo buy the rights to a franchise sign an agreement for a certain amount of titles from the specific franchise on its console (Wii). Or should Nintendo continue to rely on just normal natural support!
Which franchises should Nintendo look into getting exclusively on its platforms?
