Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Should Nintendo double down on working with "AA" studios

Platinum games is not an AA studio.

Outside of that mistake, I agree.



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

This is deeply alarming, especially with Microsoft buying up studios. You know how that usually ends.

At least Nintendo, so far, hasn't done such an atrocity to any of their in-house studios.

Nuts and Bolts was an amazing game.  Much better than Tooie, and rivals the original.

It was actually a fun game for what it is and is probably underappreciated. - But no way was it superior to Tooie and the Original game.

Tooie really just wasn't that good.  Rare didn't really know where to go after the first game, so they threw just about everything they could at the wall.  Had all of the same problems that people had with DK 64, but kind of worse in a lot of ways.  Nuts and Bolts was definitely better.  As for the first one, it still holds up really well.  But other better 3D platformers have come along whereas there is nothing that is quite like Nuts and Bolts.  Aside from nostalgia, I can't think of a really good reason to play BK over most of the 3d Marios for instance, but Nuts and Bolts provides something unique.



No.

It's moreso Microsoft than Sony, but yeah, medium-large sized independent studios are getting bought up by the big two in an effort to prepare for the increased costs of next generation. Sony acquired Insomniac so far, but they said they were looking into other developers as well, including Remedy.

It ends in great games?

I don't see the problem.

I tried playing the N64 Banjo games, don't care for them.

I had a blast with N&B though. I don't understand why they're even compared, completely different games.

You make vehicles to complete missions, its different and unique experience. Nothing else quite like it, I'm gonna download it and play it in glorious 4K.

I think Nintendo should keep working with Japanese studios given they are successful with that. Sony isn't that interested in Japan in my opinion, Nintendo could steal some or much of that market.

For the west, I think Nintendo should encourage 3rd party developers to keep supporting with big budget games.

Average amount of money

Average amount of resources

Thanks, was wondering what it stood for.

It doesn't really. Its just like with batteries. Just something to measure the budget pretty much.

I also had a blast with it, Nuts and Bolts is a highly solid title that is often derided for pretty poor reasoning. - I judge that particular title on it's own merits... And not because it differentiated itself from the first two titles rather significantly.

In saying that, I don't think it's as enjoyable as it's Nintendo 64 iterations... But they were a stupidly high ceiling to reach anyway... And were titles that helped define the 3D platformer as a genre, they were blatantly awesome games that in many aspects haven't aged as well as other titles, but I judge them by their own merits from the era they came from.

I also highly enjoyed Viva Pinata and Kameo as well... And whilst Perfect Dark: Zero was a bit of a flop compared to the Nintendo 64 variant... It was still a fun run through.

Sea of Thieves was a pretty bare-bones experience... RARE still has *some* magic left, but they aren't leading the industry like they were in the SNES/Nintendo 64 days, but that doesn't mean they are a terrible developer, just the bar has been raised higher.
