Xilo Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Are we just going to see the above list again from Nintendo with +1 added to each title name?3rd parties count a lot and for as many internal studios Sony have (the most out of any platform creators), they've begun to realize that a lot as well - You don't cater well enough for them and they'll ignore/ditch/pass off scraps to you, and SO many developers are multiplatform now. I'm not just talking retail, I'm talking digitally as well. How well is Wiiware doing for Nintendo... yeah there you go. All those figures above are impressive.... for Nintendo, and if you want to say **** the 3rd parties who cares, on you go, but this generation was one of the biggest shifts to seeing how much 3rd parties going multiplatform was. Even the great titles like FF are now multiplatform (mainline title). Can the Wii do FF13? No it gets the crappy spin offs. Nintendo did this with the GC as well. It's really silly to see how incredible their handheld libraries are with a huge amount of 3rd party developers compared to their consoles.

macrosslover Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 ^^^That points to another big problem Nintendo has and that is it competes far to well with its own third party developers. MS and Sony while behind some titles seem to me to both be generally more transparent about it and more inclined to help push third parties games when its in their interest too. Things such as the Modern Warfare console packs MS sells shows they will jump behind third parties at times along with them being willing to throw money at gaining exclusive content ect (such as DLC). Maybe I'm wrong but that seems a far cry away from Nintendo and every press conference I feel its Mario, Zelda, Pokemon or the new Peripherals which dominate the show rather than any love for their partnering studios. They seem fine with this but and I guess while they sell hardware and games like they are they may as well. As before but I do wonder what will happen if they can't launch the follow up to the wii with another game with the reception that Wii Sports had. I've always had a cynical view on this as well. Like people used to always accuse Microsoft of holding back tools on Windows development, I always felt Nintendo was doing the same with their own 3rd party developers. You look at the other 2 systems and for the most part it could be argued that 3rd parties have squeezed more out of the system than the 1st parties. However on Nintendo systems I can't remember any case of a 3rd party game coming anywhere close to matching a Nintendo game in quality and I can't believe that's because all 3rd parties are lazy and only have wanted to release crap on Nintendo systems because they were never lazy on the xbox/ps2 and on their current systems, why would they single out Nintendo to imo.

NikkiRox Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Meh, doesn't bother me. Wii's are a gimmick to me. If I bought one I'd only play it for a week. There will always be a place in my heart for my xbox <3 :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiRox Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 My Mum has one and she has only played it a couple of times. I have played it, and it was fun, but I would get bored of it just like my mum did. My brother's gf has one, played it a week, hasn't used it since. I just know for a fact AFTER playing the Wii that I would get bored after a few weeks. I would rather play FPS than family games. xbox360 > wii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1406 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't care what Capcom do, as long as they at some point do another classic Resident Evil game - preferably another Outbreak game. It would work 10x better now that the consoles have decent online support. Hell, just port Outbreak 1 and 2 to PS3/PSN, have online support, and I'll buy them both.

PreKe Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 A kick up the arse to Nintendo indeed (Y) Except the statement was retracted, and the exec got a slap in the face for being out of line and saying silly things. The Wii doesn't cater to the mass market of gamers. It seems to cater to the mass market just fine. Games like Resident Evil 4 is going to sell badly on the Wii because... Didn't RE4 sell pretty well? So well that Capcom now wants to make RE5 for the Wii as well? But this whole discussion is pointless by now since the guy who made the statements was clearly not speaking on behalf of Capcom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
