Forums - Nintendo - Forbes: Nintendo Needs Exclusive First-Person Shooters Now That Call Of Duty Is Gone

MDX on 23 August 2014

Nintendo is working on it.

I dont know why the article didnt point out Devil's Third.  But again, this is where third parties should step in.  This is where they can fill in the genres that Nintendo does not provide alot of content for.  But third parties are too interested in changing the game industry to make more money from it then actually making games.  A direction that Nintendo, and its gamers, does not want to go.

Ubisoft could have made ZombiU into a larger franchise with a better bigger sequel. They could have released a sequel to Red Steel 2.  That would still not make the WiiU the go to console for FPS's though; they would need alot more games for the genre.  

What I think Nintendo should do, if they want to strengthen their T/FPS library and atract the western market, is to procure Treyarch and/or High Voltage as second party studios.  And have them pump out serialized shooters:  Military, Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

Goldeneye is one upped by Perfect Dark in every way. Goldeneye was fun gameplay wise but had a really boring setting. Perfect Dark fixed that with its crazy sci-fi.

Then they had the Turok series which was awesome. Duke Nukem 64 and Doom 64 also kicked ass. Nintendo used to be a good place for FPS. Then all the FPS devs went multiplat and then just started to excluse Nintendo despite having success on the N64.

In a perfect world though, FPS games should leave all the dirty consoles alone.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Yea cause Call of Duty was moving Wii and Wii U units.

Good job whoever wrote this at Forbes, your a genius

I hate reading articles that bring up Goldeneye.  That and perfect dark are like the only FPS that Nintedo has really had that were system sellers.  And that was what near 20 years ago.  Seriously while many may want FPS on Nintendo, they have lived and strived to this day without them.


No, they haven't. They have dwindled with out it. And the Wii.

Oh sorry, didn't realize the N64 was flying off the shelves and breaking records.

I remember the N64 also having a good port of Quake II!

So Nintendo doesn't care about $? Lmao.

 

Nintendo should secure Treyarch as a 2nd party studio? How in the world would they do that?

TIMESPLITTERS! Crytek need the money desperately. Cryengine is used in Sonic BOOM. There should be some work done already on this game.

No. Nintendo needed exclusive FPSs before COD was gone. Now it just desperately needs them, along with other genres of IP not on Nintendo consoles.

Which genres?

Metroid Prime 2 had a multiplayer mode, and it was terrible. That series should stay single player. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

What do you mean Nintendo does not like $ ?

Nintendo has said they focus on what they are good at.  They dont do military FPS shooters.  

And what do you mean how can they get Treyarch?   They buy them from Activision, like MS bought Rare.

Or they head-hunt key people from the team.
