SkyHold said: I don't care for many third party games because they are poor quality (Dragon Age) being one of them.They also are not that interesting with games like COD,Battlefield and the overrated GTA.However, third parties did not abuse Nintendo at all.Nintendo is the one that never pushed third party as only Nintendo games sold on Nintendo's consoles even back int he day.Third party never got big until the PlayStation arrived.Games like MGS,Batman,The Witcher and any other quality third party game are must buys though and I prefer Red dead over GTA. |
Did you actually grow up during the NES or SNES eras? This is just laughably false.
Megaman, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Double Dragon, Ninja Turtles, Castlevania, Blade of Steel, River City Ransom, Bubble Bobble, Duck Tales, Ninja Gaiden, Tecmo Bowl, Contra/Super C were all hit games on the NES, many of these franchises were born/popularized on the NES.
Street Fighter II was the *THE* game to own on a SNES, that was the game (not Mario World or Zelda III) that caused SNES sales to really start to rev up to Nintendo's standards, prior to that Yamauchi felt the system was selling a bit sluggishly. The SNES also had countless fantastic third party titles. Final Fantasy III (VI), Top Gear, NBA Live, NHL, Contra III, Megaman X, Chrono Trigger, Mortal Kombat 2, Ogre Battle, Earthworm Jim, Secret of Mana, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Super Star Wars/ESB/ROTJ, etc.
The NES/SNES were the Playstation 4 of their day. In fact Sony really hasn't done anything but taken the same formula Nintendo cemented with the NES, but they took all their third party support and marketed to teenagers/college aged folkes rather than kids.
Nintendo somehow has turned themselves into the Sega Master System of the modern day ... a niche thing with a handful of terrific 1st party games each year but not much else.
