Forums - Nintendo - Third parties for Nintendo NX?

Platina on 25 January 2016

It would be important to have all the 3rd parties onboard, and that will happen if they sell well

The biggest 3rd Parties would be most beneficial, of course

I would be satsified with just Japanese publishers..  A main Final Fantasy game could potentially appear on a Nintendo system after 20 years.

The key to Nintendo getting third party support is having a powerful portable.

If they have a powerful portable, one that can even feasibly handle down-ports of PS4/XB1 games (960x540 res, lowered effects) ... they would get a lot of third party support because two problems would be solved with one stone ...

Third parties like the user base the DS and 3DS have, they are more skeptical about Nintendo's bipolar console fan base which has proven too up and down over the years. The problem with DS and 3DS though is they're too damn underpowered.

They can't run any type of modern game engine or anything that a publisher's developers have in the development pipeline so that means to make a DS or 3DS game a developer has to basically make an engine from scratch. And that's more trouble than its worth. 

If Nintendo could change that ... it would be the holy grail of third party appeal for them anyway.

Now of course people will say this is impossible to have a portable that powerful and relatively affordable. I tend to disagree. The Apple A9X chip is reportedly specced at $38 to manufacture and that pumps out graphics that could probably open the door to PS4/XB1 ports on the portable.

Once you have developers making the portable version, then most of them will likely say "hell lets just make an enhanced console NX version too". Boom. Now you have third parties, that's how you sucker them in.

I honestly think that given the okayish sales of the PS4 and the fact that the Japanese market is basically in Nintendo's back pocket, it would be in the best interest of all the major Japanese publishers to back Nintendo with NX.
                               

Not really. JPN publishers are barely even supporting the 3DS because even handhelds are not ideal for them outside of certain IPs.

 

I suppose. But if we're talking about the dedicated games market in Japan, the 3DS is the only one who has gotten realiable sellers in recent years. 

Couple this with the heavy rumors of NX being a hybrid system and evidence of Sony leaving the handheld market and I would think that Japanese devs would want to keep NX at least in the back of their minds.
