Jonas Albrecht posted:It makes perfect sense. Nintendo does not want its own top tier franchises competing with each other. They are two completely different games which wouldn't cannibalize each other at all. It's not like releasing a new mario and yoshi game at the same time. Pretty sure they just hosed up with the timing. It's becoming glaringly obvious that they're desperate to give the impression they have a "robust" (as Reggie says) lineup, and MK8 would've made perfect sense there.

I do not understand foreign currency and economics, but Nintendo said an unusually strong yen was something that hurt sales of the Wii U.

It doesn't matter how different of genres they are, there is significant overlap between people who would buy both games, and Nintendo does not want both of their own games competing for the same dollars. Edit: I mean, it makes more sense than some nebulous poo poo about "loving up the timing".

Not at all. Regardless of when both games are bought, it's the appearance of having a great release lineup that they've aggressively been looking for, and MK8 would've been a pretty big deal. Releasing it one month later looks like it whiffed release, and might still cannibalize BOTW sales to an extent if that's what you believe (I don't).

Jonas Albrecht posted:I do not understand foreign currency and economics, but Nintendo said an unusually strong yen was something that hurt sales of the Wii U. Here's a super quick version that overlooks the complexity of the global economy: Assume nintendo makes their wii u from japanese parts and makes it in japan and it costs 10000 yen to make in parts + labor + shipping + whatever. And assume the exchange rate is 10000 yen = $100. So they sell it in the US for $200 and that $100 of profit comes back as 10000 yen. Hurray. But then godzilla attacks and wrecks japan and no one wants to hold yen anymore because the entire government could be destroyed tomorrow and the yen falls such that $100 now buys 20000 yen. They still spend the same 10000 yen to build it because they don't need to build it in a foreign country or use foreign parts so the exchange rate doesn't matter, and they still sell it for the same $200. They get $100 but now it comes back as 20000 yen. They just doubled their profit due to the weak yen. With a strong yen, this is all reversed, which is why a strong yen would hurt their profit.

Edit: I'm dumb as hell, yo. http://www.technobuffalo.com/2017/01/23/nintendo-switch-third-party-ea-relationship/ quote:I only spoke about FIFA today, but our company’s structure lets us release all sorts of games for every platform, so we’ll go wherever the gamers go. I think Nintendo Switch will put Nintendo at the forefront of the game industry once again. Their approach is quite different from anything they’ve done in the past – they’ve listened to EA, Activision, and other companies since the beginning of the Switch’s development, so we’ve been involved throughout the whole process. They teamed up with us because they wanted to guarantee the console would be successful. Doing business with Nintendo is very important for us… We’d like to bring more and more games over for everyone. Jonas Albrecht fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Jan 24, 2017 |

glassyalabolas posted:speaking of JPN, I am Setsuna is confirmed for Switch launch. Digital only. its bad its like final fantasy 2 in plot and characters, the entire game take splace in the two tilesets you see in the first ten minutes of the game and the chriono trigger ish combat isnt even worth caring about when every enemy is a brittle hp sponge that eats like six regular attacks or dies to a single whatever the sequence attacks are with the points so every battle is literally you waiting out four atb bars and then ending the battle in one attack

Okay, yeah there is a meaningful difference between "if this console is successful we'll make games for it" and "Nintendo listened to us and other 3rd parties all throughout development of the Switch".

EA's always been poo poo on Nintendo home consoles. The NES got a couple of games. The SNES pretty much only got lovely Genesis ports of sports games. N64 got the yearly sports games, 007: TWINE, and Beetle Adventure Racing. GameCube support was borderline good compared to their other consoles. Wii got sports, shovelware, and PS2 ports. Wii U got pretty much nothing. So, who's surprised by EA being a bit poo poo on this Nintendo console? There's never been a Nintendo console that could be called "well-supported" by EA.

What I really want to see from a 3rd party is a game that takes advantage of the idea of meeting someone else with a Switch on the go. Not an ARG, but something you can sync up and battle right away. Oh poo poo, imagine if Nintendo did this with a Star Fox game.

I'm genuinely expecting Octopath Traveler to be Ringabels game and the next Bravely Default in disguise. The title font is literally the exact same as is the art style and spoilers for Bravely Second you do find out that Ringabel is part of a timeline/dimension hopping group now so what if one of the worlds was all sprite art or something

Miyamoto is probably not going to be heavily involved in any future game design, but if the youngbloods can take a look at what works and what doesn't, I think the franchise could still have a future. Also, someone made a remark way back when about the joycons being great for a pod racing game, and I realized I want that control scheme, but for a new F-Zero title.
