FEATURE: Why Nintendo Shouldn’t Be Hiding The NX From Developers

The longer Nintendo waits to show off the NX, the longer they’ll wait until they feel comfortable giving dev-kits to indies, the longer the gap of no games after launch becomes.

rjason123720d ago

We don't even know when it's coming out, for all we know it could come out in 2018, devs will get them when the console is closer to being finished.

n4g00063719d ago

If Nintendo made NX easy for gamers and developers, it should be a secret. That's console gaming main selling point that have been lost to many during PS3 era.

The ability to port any video games to NX with no dev-kits, that's Gaming Greatness.

I know Indies need the kit, but I also know there are development kits out there for large 3rd party companies. Perhaps Nintendo feels Indies have a greater chance of leaking? I also think NX will release this year.

Yukes3719d ago

Agreed. Fairly sure they won't be hiding it away somewhere, at least not from the larger third-party developers. Even Nintendo will learn that lesson from the Wii U....right?

iplay1up23719d ago

The only Indie who would really deserve an early development kit would be Shin'en. They have showed Nintendo much love! Fast Racing Neo is fantastic! Along with all of the other games they have released on Nintendo platforms.

Stealth20k3719d ago (Edited 3719d ago )

They are not hiding it. Bad bad bad article. A butthurt dev says something stupid about Nintendo that other devs have said he should feel embarrassed about and now it is nintendo's fault?

rjason123719d ago

It's especially embarrassing for that dev when Sony comes to nintendos defense.

RosweeSon3719d ago

It's not it's hiding them from the general public.

Realplaya3719d ago

Two developers said something. On top of that indie developer is more likely to leak into. I'm one to believe that games can easily be brought up to nx standards without a lot of effort. Lastly I believe this person isn't mad for Indies but because they are looking for information themselves.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi67d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer68d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot68d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno68d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay68d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno66d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK66d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
