Square Enix: Main Platform Wii, DS and PS3

About Microsoft
- If there is a merrit cooperating with Microsoft we will do this. We might give some projects to separate studios and make games for the X360.

- The Main Platforms for Square Enix are the Nintendo Platforms and PS3. The Lionshare of the Developers and our infrastructure as well as our capital is for NDS, Wii and PS3 and this is not going to change.

- We are astonished by Wiis success and the nintendo dominance. We thought that the PS3 and the Wii will coexist due to the difference between both strategies, but in the end the users will decide which platform we develop on. The SCE Platforms at this point are a bit of a challenge.

- We think we can do much on the Wii. I talked to Iwata to exploit many possibilities and cheer on him

doesn't read this. He thinks only movie-houses are interested in the PS3. >_<

"We might give some projects to separate studios and make games for the X360"

ouch.

separate studio= not any main/exp. developers.

so........

NO FINAL FANTASY 13s.

sorry.

wiizy6708d ago

i hope just wii , ds, and maybe xbox 360... after lair , ratchet, and heavenly sword. ps3 has shown that only trash comes out of major releases...square is making enough money on ds. just stick to ds and wii and you'll profit .

Lucreto6708d ago

Funny I consider everything on 360 as trash with 0 interesting me. Its all down to preference.

unlimited6708d ago

Ratchet and Heavenly Sword is the best games on the PS3..you mad because sqaure dont want to support your crap out 360..lol..

10 years from now ill still have my ps3 with lots of games and movies ...but your 360 will be out of service..haha..

Maddens Raiders6708d ago

S/E is intruding on your pipe dreams. lol

ruibing6708d ago

You tying together Lair, Ratchet, and Heavenly Sword for the PS3 s like me grouping Crusin', Super Paper Mario, and Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii and then Kingdom Under Fire, Halo 3, and Mass Effect for the 360.

ItsDubC6708d ago (Edited 6708d ago )

I just think it's funny how ppl can assume that dreamintruder's a 360 fanboy based on his/her post.

Skerj6708d ago

FFXIII is going to kick ass on the Wii /sarcasm.

calis6708d ago

any idiot ragging on Heavenly Sword clearly has not played it. The game is simply amazing.

Considering the HUGE success they are having with the titles...were is the PSP? I mean Crisis Core Square Enix? remember that one? FFT The War of the Lions? ring any bell?

...even worse considering the first Star Ocean remake are staring with some pretty good sales

Marceles6708d ago

Yeah I think he forgot to add the PSP since they're coming out with Crisis Core, Kingdom Hearts: BBS, and Final Fantasy Dissidia.

toughNAME6708d ago (Edited 6708d ago )

I know theres been a lot of good PS3 news today and you have reason to be excited

but slow down on those approvals...

N4G guidelines: internet forums and message boards do not qualify as a reliable source. However linking to screenshots and videos posted on forums is ok. You can also link to forum posts if the post is made by a developer or other industry professionals. - (thx BM)

You could have waited an hour for a website to translate it?

This should not have been approved

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle25d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg31d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree31d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai31d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde32d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy32d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12532d ago (Edited 32d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
