Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo's Development Teams: What Are They Up To? (LONG Post)

trestres on 02 September 2008

So basically, after October, all we know Nintendo will be developing is Wii Sports: Resort.

Given Nintendo's new announcement policy, we will not find out what they are working at until we are 1 month away from release.

19/20 dev teams are going to be working on misterious titles, please Nintendo shed more light about you projects :(

I think Skip should be concentrating on bringing Chibi Robo to the Wii with motion controls. That would be AWESOME!!!!!



DON'T WIN ME CHIBI BUDDY DON'T WIN ME.

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF FRIEND CODE:- 5129 1175 1029. MESSAGE ME.
ANDY MURRAY:- GRAND SLAM WINNER!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I am disturbed by the lack of Pikmin, Starfox and F-Zero.

 

 When I said this I mean a lack of speculation.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I would kill for a Golden sun on the Wii. I'd also kill for a Smash Bros. on the DS. I also didn't know HAL wasn't part of Nintendo. Boy wouldn't it be a kick in the crotch if M$ bought them out some time in the future.

 


HAL basically has a long, lucrative contract with Nintendo that they're not going to be backing out of any time soon. They could decline to renew it, in theory, when the next deadline comes up - but MS buying HAL is about as likely as Nintendo buying Insomniac; it's just not going to happen.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
