Forums - Nintendo - The Pikmin team is NOT working on Pikmin for 3DS !

If you look at those 3DS games they are almost all spinoffs, ports or small project, all biger teams are working on games are for NX, Zelda, 3D Mario, Retro game, Next Level game, Mario Kart, Splatoon...but you can bet that NX will also have Pokemon too, most likly new Animal Crossing...

 

Well just because it's a spin-off or port or whatever doesn't mean it's a game the NX couldn't have gotten or that those games take no time and resources to make. Of course NX will eventually get all those games, but what matters to me is how many will come next year, as I plan on getting a new system during the holidays as I'll mostly be done with 3DS/Wii U by then.

Hmm..mixed bag of news there. While it does put a bit of damper on the 3DS game, at least it means that a proper Pikmin is still coming.

The 3DS game looked good to me and I'll probably check it out once it's out. One bad game doesn't mean the developer is shit neccissarily.
Next Level Games is a good delevoper even though Federation Force is going to bomb hard. Also every developement team is able to learn from good as well as bad expierences, they gain knowlegde with every game they make. Arzest could grow into a better developer, I wouldn't write this game off just yet.

That's exactly point, all those games are game that take little time and resources, and NX dont need small projects, spin offs and small projects espacily in first year, they need heavy and moderate hitters escpaicly in first year.

Then your point is ass-backwards lol. A game is a game, having less of them doesn't have any benefits. NX needs as many games as it can get period since people don't buy consoles for one game and people have all different taste in games.

I'm not sure why you are acting surprised. The 3DS has always taken resources from its console counterparts: Wii, WiiU and now NX.

Maybe this NX isn't that hybrid anymore.

Well I'm not sure how you're not sure, I mean where have you been over the past year? :L

Pretty much everything Nintendo said and did indicated the NX (regardless of form factor) having a unified library as that would solve some of Nintendo's biggest problems.



Thank the heavens.Was really afraid that this game was pikmin 4.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

So what would you have them do, drop support for 3DS as well as Wii U? Like other people have said, the 3DS software support--bar Pokemon--is comprised of support from smaller studios, localised titles already out in Japan, and ports of Wii U games. It's not a resource intensive investment on Nintendo's part and there are still tens of millions of 3DS owners to satisfy. Plus, when the NX launches, the user base won't be huge, so there's no point in Nintendo throwing every bit of software at it and hoping it sticks. Releases need to be consistent, but there's no point drowning a new system in releases because early adopters can only buy so many games.

As for amiibo functionality in New Leaf, I think that has more to do with the Animal Crossing app and short term profit than anything else. I expect we'll see a mobile announcement in the Animal Crossing Direct. Who knows, if NX has been revealed by then, we may see an NX version. Everything is up in the air until Nintendo reveal the device and first wave software.



I was expecting this, is just a cute spin off for 3DS made by another studio, I still need to see more to be convinced but it looks ok.

It would be great if Pikmin 4 is released next year.

That could only make any sense if you assume people have to buy every game. Needless to say, they do not. And what, late adopters are able to buy every game somehow even though there's hundreds more at that point? Nintendo has already thrown everything at the 3DS, it has hundreds of games. If you still aren't satisfied with it that's really not Nintendo's problem at this point. Plus I really don't see how more ports spin-offs and sequels would make the difference between dissatisfaction and satisfaction for anyone. 

Now for the bolded, this is just so, so wrong. You are implying that less games is better. Um, yeah, absolutely not! People buy video game systems to play games, so in no universe does having less games make people more inclined to buy your system. You don't build a userbase by not having games, you build one by having them, a lot of them. I mean come on, this is just common sense, yet I've had to explain this twice now.
