Forums - Nintendo - What's the most Nintendo biased third-party?

Sega, Capcom and Marvelous for sure, followed by EA/Ubisoft/Activision.

And as much as I dislike Activision, you do have to give them some credit for their Wii efforts. At least with the Guitar Hero games, they really push the Wii in terms of features - DLC, online play, and so on. Not to mention, COD: W@W and MW are both quality titles as well.

Marvelous has put some good stuff on the Wii, but based on some recent comments made by them it sounds like they wanted to support the HD consoles, and are only supporting the Wii because they don't have the resources to make HD games.

Sega has done well, but as Mr. Kahn pointed out, the success they've had with Sonic seems to NOT resonate inside the company. I'm not going to tell them to stop making Sonic for other platforms, or to not try to broaden Sonic's HD audience, but they seem obsessed with HD (see project Needlemoue), and not putting in the effort to also broaden his audience on the Wii.

I don't see many other companies that are pro-Nintendo; Square-Enix, Namco and Capcom each have a major game coming out (Dragon Quest X, Tales of Graces and Monster Hunter Tri), but even those companies highly favor the HD consoles, following a strategy of real games on the HD consoles, while sticking the 2nd rate crap on the Wii.

Picking the most Nintendo-biased third-party is about as pointless as picking the best disease to contract.



Veder Juda is hand crafted from EPIC FAIL, and is a 96% certified Looney; the other 4% is a work in progress.

EA mocks Nintendo openly.



Enix is pro Nintendo. You heard me "ENIX" is pro Nintendo and Enix doesn't even like Nintendo. They couldn't care less whom they developed for. Square however seems more be iffy. Yes I know the companies merged, but seriously they don't seem to share creative direction. Sometimes they seem to just share resource development while the upper ups are still two separate groups.

Personally I don't think many companies are anti/pro. It seems to be very individual people and teams within the company. I'd probably put a more leaning system into place. With all the companies leaning away from nintendo. Just some more than others.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Sega, and Ubisoft.
