Yes, we need tons of blockbuster stuff with 200m $ of budget, so that way we can use 2000 workers without comunication to do a shit that would not be profitable if it sells under 6 millions, and if we fail, well, let´s fire 1500 workers and do something more smart, like a good game.

Blizzard is a good competitor for the first place prize , but noone denies that Nintendo is in the top 3 developers for sure.

Doesn't that just prove You dont need to spend that much money to make a good game?

 

Edt: There is a Nintendo game there, and LOL to what it is XD


But it also proves that nintendo is greedy. At least sega made shenmue and sony FF7, nintendo never wanted to risk anything thats also one reason why they dont want to make mature IPs as their current games aestatics are easier to programm.

Sony made FF7? Lol, ok.

XC, XCX, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Eternal Darkness don't count all of a sudden?

Easier to program? Do you even;know anything about programming? And since when is that a qualification for fun?

Well you say that none can deny that Nintendo is in the top 3, yet there are several people in this very thread that dont believe they are...



I meant rational people , my mistake. :P

Yeah here you wont see many nintendo game in this metrics

The list is missing much information and most of these have inflated costs due to large marketing campaigns.





If Nintendo can make better games than the competition with less money that proves how much better they are, no? ;)
