Nintendo Gaming / RE:Silicon Knights and Nintendo break up

THE most idiotic post I've read so far in this topic



Why is that? If Eternal Darkness 2, or Too Human are X-box exclusive (Very possible) i will buy an Xbox to play these games. I loved Eternal Darkness too much to miss out on the sequel.



Is this fake? doubtfull... While i admit, Dennis's reluctance to explain why he would suddenly break apart from Nintendo, after being qouted on topics like Kid Icarus, Zelda and his admiration for all things Nintendo, its probably not because its some sort of scam...  More like Sony or Microsoft bought them out, and they are waiting to announce it officially soon. Dennis said he might work something out with Nintendo in the future, but not certain.

It's not that bad for Nintendos market share.


Would a prospective buyer prefer Too Human or Mario Party Rehash 11 ...  Maybe Silicon Knights games didnt sell as well as Nintendo hoped. But thats not Silicon Knights fault. Not giving a single commercial to Twin Snakes, and the litle or no advertisement for ED is at fault. I especially think Nintendo Power is an example of this, their lack of coverage of "Mature Games" is basically an extension of Nintendos lack of foresight. Nintendo doesnt belive Mature Gamers are important, when statistically they are the largest slice of the pie now. The Kidde/Family games are no longer the dominant majority in the gaming industry. Nintendo doesnt see this, this is why eventually they will loose Market Share.

Ill make it simple for you guys. Nintendo needs to increase its market share, if it plans on staying in the console race. If its market share tumbles, eventually it will  be forced out into the Third Party buisness just like Sega. How will Nintendo increase its market share, when its loosing third parties like nobodys buisness, and now its loosing its critically acclaimed seccond parties, companies once exclusive to the console. Sure its good for Silicon Knights, but its Not  good for Nintendo, not by any means. Why would a prospective buyer, buy a Nintendo console  when companies like Silicon Knights are now on the other two consoles? They wont. Hence no increase in market share, hence Nintendo realistically going the way of sega. Simple enough?

I expected you guys to brush it off and say it doesn't really matter, but instead you took the polar opposite approach

Fact is, It DOES matter. There is no way a Nintendo fan can spin this. It Hurts Nintendo, and that doesnt make me happy.

I was goin to buy nintendo's next system. I buy nintendo's system for their games which is and should be everyone else's reason in here too, if you dont then you should be buyin ps2s or xboxs since they have practically everything on nintendo's system barrin nintendo's individual games



Nitnendos "inovation, and individuality" Is  Extremely overated. Check out the Gamecubes lineup. Theres Wind Waker, and thats pretty much it. Metroid Prime was Retros baby. Eternal Darkness, one of the most inovative games ever was Silicon Knights.  The Sanity Effects were worth price of admission alone.  The Rest of the GCN lineup, is pretty much rehash and remakes. Mario Parties, Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart... ect ect. None of these screamed INOVATIVE! Like Nintendos SNES, and N64 titles did.  They lost a great inovative group, that like IGN said, valued Story, technology, and games artistic flair, instead of Nintendos emphasis on old school gameplay.

We assume its Nintendos decision because of Dennis himself. Ive never met the guy, but ive got tremendous respect for him. His comments made me think that he trully respected Nintendo and enjoyed working with them. He seemd to trully enjoy their cooperation and have similar ideals.  Someone who respected Nintendo so much would not leave them this rapidly.  I had such high hopes for them too, i was hoping to see them make a Kid Icarus or a Zelda title. Instead ill be forced to buy an X-box to play their games. Nintendo is shooting themselves in the foot in the console race. They are forcing a Nintendo fanboy to buy another console because of their mistakes. They are loosing their small hardcore fanbase. When they sold Rare, i felt secure because Nintendo still had Retro and Silicon Knights. Well Silicon Knights are gone, a tremendously underapreceated development group by nintendo. The way Eternal Darkness was treated by Nintendo, was like you treat a red headed step child. I knew Twin Snakes was going to have a similar situation when i saw no advertisement for it whatsoever.

How is Nintendo supposed to attract adult gamers? The biggest slice of the gaming pie these days? Their Third Parties are jumping ship, their seccond parties are getting dumped (factor 5 and Silicon Knights in less than a year how dispicable) ? With the countless Mario Party Rehashes? the GCNext becomes less and less atractive for prospective buyers every day. Why would they want to buy a GCNext since Nintendos best exclusives are no longer exclusive.

Right now, the details of what is going on are completely in the dark, so we can't know


Your right, but we can know that it really really sucks.

Wow... Im disgusted. I simply am disgusted with Nintendo. Ive been forever the biggest Nintendo fan. Ive bought all of their consoles including the Virtual boy. Today i finally am disgusted with Nintendo.  It seems like Iwata and Nintendo have lost all grasp on reality and have no idea what they are doing. This wasnt a Rare. The money saved by cutting the contract wont be reinvested. This was simply a dispicable move. Nintendo should simply give up. Yes i said it. Words that as a Nintendo fan id never think possible to come out from me, but if Nintendo is going to make these assinine decisions then maybe they should let Bill Gates buy them out, and let real buisnessmen handle the company. How disgusting. Yes, not only with "Gamecube Next" Have much less Third Party Support, but our strongest excuslive parties, will no longer be exclusive! Factor 5? Gone! Silicon Knights? Gone, good riddance we didnt need their junk! We never even got to play Too Human on the console!


How simply dispicable. Today is a sad day for Nintendo fans. If you cant realize this, then i feel sorry for you. Your blind worrshipping of the Sacred Gold Mario Cow is preventing you from seing Nintendo throw itselff off the presipice.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Bad Tales of Symphonia news
« on: April 09, 2004, 10:11:41 AM »
How is this not bad? I mean the US Third Parties have mostly dumped the Cube, and Nintendos bulk of support is from Japanese Third Parties, now Capcom dumps Killer 7, and Namco dumps TOS (At least make Star Fox for petes sake) I think its genuinely a reason to worry. It pisses me off too because the Cubes sales are alot better than a year ago, and its still not enough for some Third Party Support Stability.  

184
I mean... Why post it. It could be as minor as Nintendo buying some small chip maker that will produce Nintendo DS Chips to as big as Nintendo buying some major developer or merging with someone big like a Capcom or an IBM... Dont know what to expect at all

185
Supposidly Nintendo plans some aquisitions or mergers. From Nintendojo i think. Dont know what it meant

186
Exactly. Nitendo would not profit from the XNA thing.  Its highly illogical  

187
I doubt that rumor has validity, didnt Ati say the chip sets were different, i also think i read a similar rumor somewhere about a possible alliance, but its doubtfull.... Nintendo isnt leaving the Hardware buisness, and any alliance with Microsoft, would be much more profitable for MS than for Nintendo

Nintendo Gaming / RE: If you were making a new Rogue Squadron...
« on: March 26, 2004, 04:40:52 AM »
Rouge Squadron was also one of the more popular series, basically saving the GCNS launch. The rest of the launch titles were mediocre in comparison. Luigis Mansion? That really sucks by Lucasarts...

How exactly did Square push the GCN? With Chrystal Chronicles? I love what Factor 5 does with the Cube, especially with their movie compresion technology and things like this. This is why Nintendo needs Factor 5

Well according to IGN no more Factor 5 Games for the Cube... Thats a blatant crime, especially Since their games have been on Nintendo systems

Yes Factor 5 are into the technical side. And thats why Nintendo needs them First Party. Who else is pushing the GCN to the limit?

Good Riddance to Addam Sesler. Such an idiot! I shed no tears for any potential loss of X-Play... I did like Leop Lapport on the Screen Savers though

193
I just read about Microsofts new Development program called XNA... and one of its partners is Factor 5! That Sucks! Im sorry but as a Nintendo fan, that really really sucks.... It pretty much confirms Factor 5 Development on the X box... Nintendo doesnt know a good thing when they see it!

« on: March 24, 2004, 05:23:01 PM »
Id love if if they made it based on the X-Wing  Rouge Squadron or the Wraith squadron. A Wraith Squadron game would be cool, it could have Space Ship sequences and then some Metal Gear Solid Sequences. And you know the Stealth Action is popular

What about that Game Zero or Free Zero or whatever the heck its called that had members of Rare? We havent seen their super duper secret project either. I find it cool how Nintendo is grabbing up smaller indy type teams instead of huge teams... Sony is doing the same since they picked up Guerrilla games of Killzone fame

Never heard of Kuju, but its pretty cool that they are still interested in the UK Game development scene. I just wish they fully bought out Factor 5 Why they dont do it already is beyond me....

In the US the GameCube is a kiddy platform so it might be difficult for a title like Killer 7, which is appealing to mature players, to succeed on that platform alone


Here

sheesh, how is the Gamecube going to get any respect if the Developers dont respect it? :mad:

« on: March 17, 2004, 11:38:22 AM »
My GCN does the same... I think the lens is slightly out of place, or slightly scratched, so it occasionally hiccups with alot of Data, or Alot of Cut Scenes... But its not under warranty so im not going to pay 80 dollars to get it fixed... Im thinking of riding it out and then just buy a 99 dollar new one.

As i understand the new VJ, would not be made by the same team. That worries me a tad. Devil May Cry 2, was not made by the same team as DM1, and was a big flop... I hope it doesnt happen again
