I wonder if they would give the same answer if they were not leading this gen...
Nintendo USUALLY has not done ports in house. Example the Zelda 3DS remakes were outsourced. I imagine they value their core teams too much to have them spend time on a game they have already completed. That being said I have no problem with the WiiU games getting new life on the Switch.
Assuming this was true, movies have a much more likelihood of keeping a release window. Games get delayed much more often and can still get canceled far into production which is rare in movies.
As a traditionally portable focused series it would be interesting if they moved this way but unlikely.
Square's "Aggressive" seems to translate as either mobile, micro-transactions, 8 year development cycle or trying too hard. I don't know of thats a good thing (tongue in cheek)
Finished the first 2 and have the 3rd ready to go. While puzzles are fun I'm definitely more interested in the story at this point. The whole thing is bonkers in the best of ways.
I'm betting it's because of the hacking. Nintendo has always been over protective and paranoid of pirtates and I'm sure they are beside themselves that it's getting hacked and they can't do anything about it.
I'd rather have the currently quoted Nintendo online $25-30 price tag with simple yet functional features than the $50-60 of the other systems with features and "free" games I rarely play or use. I guess time will tell what we're actually getting.
Bah. I was not planning on doing the double dip with this game but if its like the N64 version I just might have to...
Same here
While I agree the timing was bad lets just wait and see what is actually released before we go nuts. If its a complete game and feels like it is I don't mind. If their is a huge cut in content than its a real shame and they won't see a cent from me for that DLC.
I imagine thats the very intent but they would never openly address it that way because it acknowledges the problem.
No kidding. I'm throwing the red flag of BS on this one.
Its all for nothing if the third parties don't bring quality games. And I'm not talking crappy outdated, overpriced or unoptimized ports like Deux Ex, Mass Effect, Watch Dogs and plenty other games had WiiU had.
It would help if they amped up the hype for Dragon Quest and actually acted like they believe in it. They treat the franchise like an afterthought in the west. When was a Dragon Quest game ever featured in a keynote or given a series of story and feature driven trailers like Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts? The closest they got was the FFXII demo included with DQ8.
It does not help that every game has a very similar style and compared to other long RPG franchises, has not c...
“to check in at select Nintendo events and locations. Checking in gives you access to exclusive My Nintendo member benefits that may be available. Benefits will vary, so stay tuned for more details.”
Too bad almost every meaningful Nintendo event is in LA or NYC. Unless they get creative on how to do this it will be meaningless for most.
Blows my mind that you can be this complete with a game that was guaranteed to sell millions and still can it.
I get some commercials and sponsors because those events time a ton of time and money to put on. However, the music guests need to stop. It was ho hum last year and this year was awful. Get rid of that crap and lets here more from the winners and their games themselves.
I bet they are killing it off. They just don't want to slow down any system sales. They already said multiple times this year that they plan to support the WiiU with the Switch and 3DS. The WiiU went out of production and the year is not over yet.
Continuing support for Nintendo means they have something in the pipeline. May not be much but they got something.
I'm sure many fans will forget to buy this game too.
