Nintendo Bioware "Old" Rare Silicon Knights Lucasarts

No offense but LucasArts hasn't created a game worth a damn since 1996. If you remember their old games, you might have a bit of respect. Since then, it's been Star Wars CRAP.

But, devs I respect are:

- Capcom

- Blizzard (like crack, I swear)

- Bungie

- Team ICO

- Valve

I thought Intelligent Systems was still seperate from Nintendo. Atleast it is on the title screen of Super Paper Mario: "Nintendo / Intelligent Systems"


Intelligent Systems is separate from Nintendo.

If Nintendo wanted to sell off the Metroid devs, they couldn't, at least easily. It's a part of their company.


Considering that the guy who created Metroid died several years ago, I find this comment particularly funny.

Let's all take a deep breath and admit that Metroid died with him and move on. It was a good run, thank you Yokoi.

so almost none of nintendo devs have names? or are they in one building?

They do have names... for example, the guys who originally made Metroid are/were known as "Nintendo R&D team 1." The easiest way to explain it is this: Sony can sell off Team Ico without any fancy paper work, as it's just a separate company that they happen to own. If Nintendo wanted to sell off the Metroid devs, they couldn't, at least easily. It's a part of their company. I suppose it would technically be possible to portion of a piece of your company, but it would be messy. They'd first have to legally separate the division from their corporate holdings, and then they could sell it.

Put it this way: selling the Metroid devs would be like selling a kidney. Selling Team Ico would be like selling a diamond you are holding in your hand. It's technically possible to sell both, but the kidney is part of you, and it's a lot messier to get that on the market :p

From a Wikipedia article: "Super Metroid (スーパーメトロイド Sūpā Metoroido?) is an adventure video game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. Super Metroid is the third installment in the Metroid series of video games. With its 24-megabit cartridge size, it was the largest game available for the console at the time of its release.[1]"

Is Team Ico actually a formal company or is it just informal name for a group of people working with Fumito Ueda? I've also heard the group called "Internal Production Studio 1" or something like that. That sounds a lot like "Nintendo R&D Team 1". From what I've read, it seems like Fumito Ueda was hired by Sony (presumably because they saw his talent), and then he was given a group of people to help develop Ico with him.

I don't make three groups, the following firms made my favorite games: Blizzard LucasArts Square (I dont know much about Enix) Konami Nintendo Microprose (good old times) Some games of other companies were good, but then they made other games that ruined their image for me.



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024

10 years greatest game event!

I took a deep breath and I still think you're completely insane.  Metroid Prime series from Retro Studios (Nintendo) is still one of the single greatest series of games of all time.  MUCH better than any of the 2D ones IMO. 

And no, Nintendo developers certainly aren't "Nameless" to the guy who said that up there.  I put Sakurai on my list specifically due to his creation of the SSB series.
