Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo needs more western studios and more original western IPs to appeal to the west.

Santa Monica-  PS All-Stars

Really?

 

@OP

But you are right about the rest, it would be a good move.


Again, they made God of War, which single handedly spawned the phrase "god of war clone."

Screw western IPs. Call of Duty 19 1/2 Punk Turd Edition isnt going to "save Wii U". What's wrong with a niche console? That's all NES and SNES ever were.


NES and SNES were not niche consoles. No Nintendo console has ever had more 3rd party support than those guys.



They should buy Next Level games and Shin'en
Also want them to buy PG yes that is Japanese but still want them to. PG has expressed interest in becoming second party.
Bigredbutton maybe. Like they could be the next retro situation

 

ALso Sony is a bad example of studio's they clsoed down Sna Monica and bunch have left ND.



NES, a niche console?...perhaps it was in Europe, but in the U.S. it was the complete opposite.

Anyway, yes they do... they need, more than ever, a self sustaining ecosystem and this would be one of the blocks that make up the system.

They don't need those studios. They're already making exclusive Nintendo games, and Shin'en doesn't make games that appeal to the audience their lacking. They make very niche games.

They aren't a bad example.

they need to make retro so big they can work on 3 projects at once.......also.........more studious would be helpful indeed.

big red button is with sega I belive.



Nintendo needs enough diverse games coming in to make people not miss 3rd party. (as much) They really do need that one big game a month roll out.



Considering how the Western dev scene has studios closing every other week due to the fact that they can't seem to manage themselves properly, it's not in Nintendo's best interests to do that. Why waste money on companies that clearly aren't disciplined or skilled enough to be trusted?



You also forgot the MLB dev and Driveclub dev.

Sony also has good 2nd party support from western companies making games like beyond two souls and The Order 1886

They didn't close down Santa Monica.
