Fanbase, eh? How big is Silicon Knights' fanbase? Keep in mind this is the message board of an internet fansite- that's like going to a gun convention and being amazed that everyone likes hunting. Seriously, how many people do you think actually know who Silicon Knights is, much less care who does or doesn't own them?

yah, all 200 of us in here.  the majority of nintendo's fan base probably have no idea who SK is and only care when their parents will buy the next mario party and if they can play past bed-time.

Right, let me get this straight. We get word that SK's exclusivity is over, hear good words on SKs and Nintendo's part over it, and no absolutely nothing else about it...and Nintendo is now Satan, N5 will suck beyond reason, X-Box suddenly became the best system to own, Bill Gates is all our daddies and the world as we know it is about to come to a screeching halt? I have all this right right? If not I must be mistaken because that's how half of you are reacting.

Let's look for a second where it says SK will not be making anymore games for Nintendo consoles. *cough* Yeah I don't see it either but for everyone who apparently does see this? Read it again please. Still see it? Invest some cash in some glasses instead of your next game.

Half of you are completely overreacting without knowing anything about this. When I first ran across this thread I could've sworn canuck had hacked everyone's accounts because it's stuff I'd expect him to say.

As for all this doom and gloom about Nintendo? I've said it once and I will say it again "I was talking about this [Nintendo doom and gloom] with a former PGC goer. And I came to a conclusion, at first as a joke, but after a while considering how some of the fans and the industry are reacting? If making money and being 2nd worldwide is bringing Nintendo all this grief? Then Microsoft? By all means start making money on X-Box! Please! Get in 2nd Place! Nintendo slide into 3rd purposely and let's see how Microsoft likes it =/ I mean no one bugs Microsoft as they're bleeding money and are in 3rd. So pleease give them 2nd and help them make money with X-Box and let's see some X-Box doom and gloom talk among its fans and with writers"
They gave a war, nobody came, imagine all the fuss. They'd have to send themselves instead of...sending us. Yeah (People of the Generation - by Scatman John)

That IGN mailbag is the most depressing thing I've read in a while.  Aside from the SK issue it also talks about how Burnout 3 is for sure NOT coming to the Cube and how ToS is being ported.  Is April screw-over-Cube-owners month or something?

This was in another of IGN's articles.

Quote

Iwata said that Nintendo would continue to try and draw more adult players

Doesn't that come into direct contradiction of what is allegedly happening right now? WHY would they drop the one developer that seems to only produce mature games? This is messed up. Now I'm thinking this is to hype somthing at E3.

I have had a long day and i come home to this SH!+....... Hell no........ kinda feel the same way when rare left. why did i get gamecube I knew i made a mistake getting n64. im not making the same mistake again im getting ps3. All nintendo has for it is gba and we all know that will not stand up to the psp the brand name of ps will kill the gba. Gba will become a kiddie system in the eyes of the public. damn it nintendo change your name and start over.

Im very angry right now and dont know what im saying talk to me later.

Denis says they 'may' continue to make games for Nintendo.  I don't like the word may, in that instance.  If the games arent exclusive to the GC, then guess what?  GC will be the third system of choice.  If you can't see how that would hurt Nintendo, youre crazy.

However, i'm holding out hope its a negotiating ploy, and SK leaked this purposely to gain leverage.  I would really love if it was a prank, or marketing for ED2 like MC and Ian said, but i'm not feeling to confident right now.

It's the latter I'm afraid of. I'm sure X-Box fanboys are laughing at us panicking like this. I would be surprised if we get another Xbox spammer on the boards now. "DONT U C?! SUCKcube is TEH SUCK! XBOX ROXORZ and has TEH SILIKONITES!!!!"

*cough* Actually, I do belive I was the first one to suggest that . around page 3, 4, or 5. But it was a joke. Although... it would be brilliant to build some hype around their name...

i got it nintendo played ed to long went crazy and decied to shoot them self in the head because it would be fun. SK didnt want to die so they left. Nintendo still being crazy from playing ed let them go. Good thing is nintendo has big head so they won't die from the shot, but bad news they will die.

still very mad and might be crazy my self.

haha, yup.

Grr... this is frustrating though. I mean, with RARE we at least got a good reason why they got sold. But we don't have a solid reason as to why SK would leave Ninty... they seemed pretty happy there.

ok im ok now. If ninteno wants to expand their adult games then maybe they sold SK to get a bigger copany more well know for their adult games. A copany that has been in a little bit of trouble. What im trying to get out is if you dont get capcom now nintendo i will(edited for younger readers)... got it. OK maybe im not ok need to go lay down.

drkstar... that's really not Nintendo's style though. They had the chance to snap up Sega, and even Silicon Knights, and passed on it.
