Forums - Nintendo - What's Nintendo working at?

trestres on 13 August 2008

The official announcements so far are:

Wii:

Wii Music, Wii Sports: Resort, Animal Crossing: City Folk and Captain Rainbow.

 

DS:

Kirby Superstar Ultra and Pokemon Platinum.

 

I think that Nintendo is much more capable of doing more than 6 titles at a time, considering they have like 30 developing teams (including 2nd and exclusive 3rd party devs).


After October 2008, the only game announced from Nintendo will be Wii Sports: Resort, considering that the development of the mentioned games has ended, and only localization is needed (no need for the original team to translate text)

Isn't about time they announce something? I'm nervous right now about that retarded 1 month before it launches policy... What the hell?

They are focusing all their resources on Wii Music the worst game ever made

They said they weren't gonna announce games before they were on the final phase of developing, they said it was about 1 month before launch. Talk about killing the hype of games.

That is so stupid.

I understand not showing them too early and only showing CG (Sony), but 1 month?  That has to be the most foolish thing I've ever heard.  I guess they just started it then.  Cuz they showed MK Wii, SSBB and SMG at E3 07 (and SMG at E306) and the games didn't come out for months.

Unless you have a link, I don't believe they ever said 1 month before release. Obviously they anounced Animal Crossings Wii more than 1 month in advance.

Final phase of developement is ~3-6 months before it is going to come out, depending on the size of the game.

Go back to the GC, and look at their release list, and you'll see aproximatly what Nintendo's output capacity is. From there, you can estimate when the next game will be released.

Also, who really cares what they have up their sleeve, I'm only concerned about the next 3-6 months worth of games anyways. Anything past that and it will probably get delayed. Sure it would be nice to know, but nothing to worry about.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
