Forums - Nintendo - The super strict Nintendo approve system ...

alfredofroylan on 10 July 2009

NIS America talked a little about Nintendo's approve system for every game:

Q: How did you get past Nintendo with Sakura Wars?

Jack Niida, NIS America: Actually, Nintendo... They don't really have an approval process, surprisingly. What we do is basically propose the game to them and they'll say like "OK, cool!" But the problem is Nintendo has a [tougher] standard for the final master approval, so if the game sucks at the very end they'll say like - "alright, get out of here!"

More like "If the master doesn't fit in the Wii your're out"

Yehp. And if Sony finds a Sim aspect that happens as well ;)

With regards to Sakura Wars, I know you're releasing the fifth one first. If this does well, will you go back and do a remake of the first ones?

Jack Niida: That's definitely a possibility. We're releasing Sakura Wars V first because we figured it's the last version that came out and it's obviously the most polished, at least battle system-wise. And it's something that's easier for Sony to accept and release a game like this, because previously Sony didn't like games that had dating sim aspects. They thought it might not be a suitable game for the PlayStation brand but they're actually happy about Sakura Wars now ever since they saw the actual game. So, if this one does well I think we'll be able to bring out all the various others - Sakura Wars IV and III and... I don't know about II and I. Yeah, hopefully we can bring out all the other games too.

 

Did you know you need a special authorization from Sony America to bring a 2D game on PS2? ;) Tales of Destiny 2 is a victim of that...

^I remember Mega Man series had to be forced to go 3D before Sony wanted to put it on their PS1 back in the day.

But yeah, no suprises here, either.

All Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo games go through the same process. All the 'Nintendo Seal of Quality' means is that the title has passed all Lot Checks and QA testing at the Alpha, Beta and final submission stages. They might need to pass at the pre-Alpha stage too, I can't remember...it's been more than a year since I worked in the industry so my memory isn't too fresh tbh.
