Title: Third Party Franchises that Nintendo Could Aquire as Wii U Exclusives
Post by: Kytim89 on September 16, 2012, 08:30:05 PM
With Bayonetta 2 being announced as a Wii U exclusive, is it possible for them to aquire more exclusive titles for the Wii U? I do not see them getting CoD, GTA, Resident Evil, et all, as exclusives, but weaker developers might be open to allowing it to happen. Here are a few that I think could happen:
Dino Crisis 4 Viewtiful Joe 3 Okami 2 Darksiders 3 Dark Stalkers A game developed by Vanillaware Saints Row 4 (considering THQ's finacial woes)*
*= With THQ in financial straits Nintendo could finance the development of the game in exchange for it to be a Wii U exclusive.

I still say that Nintendo should offer to publish and pay for Tomonobu Itagaki's Devil's Third since THQ dumped it for financial reasons.

The games Nintendo should acquire are the ones which would piss off anti-Nintendo fanboys because its funny to read the comments they post afterwards like they did with Bayonetta 2. ;)

Darkstalkers 3 (Give Nintendo an exclusive hardcore fighting game, that also has character and personality an instant win.)
Viewtiful Joe 3 (completely feels like a Nintendo game and Nintendo experience...its best home is with Nintendo.
Bomberman: The original NES battle mode and a part of Nintendo history that should not be neglected...also the Bomberman franchise could still evolve and still be relevant...plus his inclusion in Smash Brothers would rock.
Classic Mega Man: Yeah Nintendo just needs to buy classic Mega Man outright...and Mega Man Legends while they are at it...find a balance between 8bit retro and modern style...and add some gameplay tweaks and enhancements...and just keep the series going...it is a brilliant series that should not die...and can easily still evolve...just like Bomberman. But his inclusion in Smash Bros would also be welcome.
Finally, I think Jet Grind Radio would be a fantastic game for Nintendo.

Well, if we're going to go into Sega properties, how about a new Panzer Dragoon? I had a lot of fun with it on XBOX, and wouldn't mind seeing a new game.

It's for kinect, though.

Doesn't surprise me, but that's disappointing. I can't bring myself to buy an XBOX + Kinect for one game.

Well technically it's not a new Panzer Dragoon, more of a spiritual successor made by the director(?) of the Panzer Dragoon series.
Plus it's Kinect, it's going to be hampered by the controls.

How about the Boogerman franchise?

And also Earthworm Jim and Clayfighter. All of these franchises are owned by Interplay which is just a hair from becoming bankrupt. Nintendo should buy Interplay and then all of this can be theirs.

KickStarter for Nintendo to acquire the rights to Mega Man...?
Also, I have absolutely no idea who holds the rights (R*?), but I'd pay any amount of money for a Silicon Valley sequel. Nintendo needs to get on that.

I hope Nintendo buys the Megaman franchise just to get it out of the hands of Capcom
Because one cold night, when the Megaman franchise is fast asleep, those hands will be holding a pillow... if you catch my drift.

Take-Two Interactive owns the rights. They developed and published the game (DMA Design, now known as Rockstar North, developed it and Take-Two Interactive published it) and own the trademark.

Miyamoto did say he could make a great FPS if he wanted to. I wouldn't mind seeing him put his money where his mouth is.
What he actually said was he had an interest in doing a first person perspective game. But it would be more about exploring an open world and wouldn't involve guns or shooting people, so it would be an FPS but minus the S.
But Nintendo really should make an FPS franchise of their own because this is the one genre they are completely lacking and missing from their franchise repertoire, and also this one is very important because it is extremely popular in the west. Ignoring a genre is fine if its a niche genre, but FPS is like THE biggest genre out there today. Its a hell of a thing to ignore, but that's exactly what Nintendo is doing. They should try to get in on this gravy train.

A mario themed paintball would be awesome...I would purchase it instantly...but it couldn't be a FPS...it would need to be 3rd person, because I would want the awesome Mario platforming mechanic intact. Just imagine...being able to run around Mario 64 style, but also try to shoot and fight off your friends.
It would be possible with pointer controls only, and would really be a fantastic game.
That being said...I want Bomberman to be purchased by Nintendo. Make it a party game with traditional multiplayer...online multiplayer similar to Bomberman 64, but with bigger worlds...and a focus on building bomb traps....and such.

If Nintendo wants to win this generation then they have to be agrresive. The only way to do this is to collaborate with the most talneted development studios, publishers, and individual game makers as they can and work with them to make quality games. This is what will sell the Wii U.

You mean like how Sony did the exact same thing this gen and still managed to be in 3rd-place in the "console wars"? [Not that it matters. The "console wars" are superficial and only incite fanboy rage.]

Sony did the same thing that you mentioned regarding Nintendo. They (Sony) accquired many exclusive games by signing deals with different developers (and sometimes buying the developer outright). Despite all their efforts, Sony still didn't win the "console wars".

Actually, I would say that Sony barely survived this generation because of those deals. The PS3 was too expensive...there was little to show the benefits of it over the Xbox 360...and the 360 was getting all the big games too. Then Sony's exclusives and 1st party games helped differentiate they system. Imagine what might have been if Sony hadn't done that with all the blunders it did this generation.

Most of Sony's blunders happend in the early years of the PS3. As time went on, Sony forged bigger and better exclusive deals with developers. A few of those developers were bought out by Sony, most notably Sucker Punch (inFamous) and Media Molecule (LittleBigPlanet).
Contrast this with Microsoft, who had some of the best exclusives in the early years of the Xbox 360, but then they completely switched focus to Kinect. Most of their exclusive deals have fallen by the wayside in favor of more Halo, Gears of War, Forza, and Kinect games. Gears of War was probably Microsoft's biggest exclusive series this gen, but they haven't done much else since.
Hopefully Microsoft will balance things out with their next system, but it's never too late to get the ball rolling now.

I would not call their partnership with Media Molecule big as they had never made a game before LittleBigPlanet. Same with Sucker Punch, every game they have ever made (other than the N64 game Rocket: Robot on Wheels) was for Sony. So they had been a second party since 2002.

My point is, Sony has done a good job forging relationships with other developers, both internally (1st-party) and externally (2nd-party). Nintendo seems to be doing the same thing now.

The industry is long overdue for a new Onimusha game. Nintendo should strike a deal with Capcom to make a new Onimusha game for the Wii U as an exclusives. I really liked that series and wish for it to return in some capacity.
Nintendo should act as a middle man between Capcom and Platnium games to make a second round of the good games, but Nintendo exclusives this time around. Platnium could be contracted to develope a sequel to Okami, a third Viewtiful Joe game, and something new such as a new Strider game.
The gaming industry diserves a second round of the Capcom five:
Dino Crisis 4
Killer 7 sequel (in collaboration with Suda 51)
Viewtiful Joe 3
Onimusha
Okami 2

I am refering to an actual sequel to Okami that uses the touchscreen of the Wii U to draw the paint brush markings and uses the Wii U's hardware to its fullest to deliver a very nice and crisp cel-shaded graphics for the game. Okamiden was like a sequel to the original Okami, but it was kore of a side-quel than anything else.

I want Nintendo to stay as far away from First Person shooters as possible, or have you all forgotten Red Steel? They went out of their way touting the Wii as the next best thing in the world of FPS games and look where that went, no where.
I do not like FPS, that is why I stick to Nintendo, if someone wants those types of games buy a stupid Xbox or get them on their PC. I think having a few for variety is alright but don't start catering to the "hard core" crowd an alienate the dedicated fans.
I wouldn't mind a Mario Paintball though, that would sound like fun, or even a Mario Lazer Tag. There you go, Mario Paintball and Metroid Lazer Tag. I would like to see more epic adventure games on the scale of Gods of War and similar types of games like that, and a return to the glory days of JRPG's like SNES.

I sure haven't, and while it may not have been that good of a game... I also haven't forgotten Red Steel 2. Have you played that one? Motion+ made a difference. It's a shame Nintendo didn't deliver it at the beginning like they implied was possible.

Red Steel was made by Ubisoft...and it wasn't that good. However, Red Steel 2 was quite good. Also, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption was made by Nintendo or at least Retro and it is fantastic. So yeah...FPS can work well on Wii if they are made right.
I want Nintendo to have a FPS or 3rd person shooter...but I want it to be distinctly Nintendo, which is why Mario Paintball sounds like such a great idea.

I wasn't talking about the quality of the game, I was talking about all the hype how it was going to bring all the FPS franchises to the Wii, that never happened. I am pretty sure I had already sold my Wii by the time or before Red Steel 2 came out because I never heard of Motion +. And Ubisoft or not, this thread is talking about franchises Nintendo should fight for or pick up as exclusives, Red Steel fits that perfectly they DID partner with Ubisoft to get it as an exclusive.

All I remember is how, they showed it all off at their E3 and made it out to be a big deal, it was all everyone talked about how it was the Halo Killer and would bring mature FPS gaming to the Wii. It never happened, instead we got the usual suspects, and that one Sega released nobody cared about.
Before I get attacked for spreading "false information" let me make this clear, I am only reminding people not to get their hopes up too high. The system might not be under powered like previous Wii but that does not mean developers will risk taking a chance on Nintendo system knowing their primary fanbase is not all that into those types of games.

How about instead of just a franchise, Nintendo buys a whole company with several popular franchises for less than the cost of making a game!?
THQ only worth about $10M https://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:THQI
Maybe we can do a kickstarter to purchase THQ?

Didn't I say before that Nintendo should buy THQ and discard the parts that lose money? This might be a good time to do so. They could get several good IPs and a large number of development talent at their disposal.

Instead of buying out companies outright (something that Sony is so good at doing), Nintendo should just continue to fund the development of certain 3rd-party games to get them as exclusive titles. They are doing that with The Wonderful 101 and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.
It's a good way to secure relationships with other developers without doing a complete corporate takeover. Sony actually did that with Insomniac; they were independent, but they worked with Sony under contract (creating the Ratchet & Clank series and Resistance series).

How about instead of just a franchise, Nintendo buys a whole company with several popular franchises for less than the cost of making a game!?
THQ only worth about $10M https://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:THQI (https://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:THQI)
Maybe we can do a kickstarter to purchase THQ?
It would cost much more than $10 million. If you bought THQ you would also buy their 100+ million debt. It would be much cheaper to wait for them to implode and pick up pieces of IP and studios, like Warner did to Midway.
Plus I believe THQ is only worth around 7.5 million today. Their stock is in free fall after their stockholder meeting and regarding Kytim's idea of discarding the unprofitable parts of THQ that's already been done. They sold their UFC licence to EA and ditched all of their licensed casual games and the U draw. Darksiders 2 was basically their last throw of the dice, the only studios and game in development left are the ones that could potentially make them money. Having to delay their 3 games in development to the 2014 financial year has screwed them. I'd be surprised if they manage to limp into 2013 still alive.
No, if there is a developer out there that needs desperately to buy up TH*Q it is SEGA, not Nintendo.
SEGA is in such dire financial straits that someone will eventually buy them out (again) if you want to see their IPs live on.
Sega Sammy is fine financially. The Sammy part can sustain losses incurred by the SEGA wing for years. The restructuring this year is solely to make Sega profitable again, it's not like Sega Sammy is going to go bankrupt anytime soon like THQ. Anyway Sega's financials are up this quarter so the restructuring has seemed to work.

They still have the WWE license and Saints Row series. Volition is a major asset to them, and judging by the success of Saints Row The Third, THQ should keep them around as a safety net.

Tendoboy, perhaps you fail to realize that THQ is almost done as a company. Rather than let talented developers like Vigil and Volition go the way of the dinosaur, or be bought by abusive publishers, I would rather they be purchased by Nintendo and put towards helping to speed up the development of HD games.
Granted that Volition and Vigil might not go for being taken over by Nintendo, but when you consider that the employees for each company would be doing business with a powerhouse in the industry thne they might be game for being Nintendo's lap dog.

Speaking of THQ, whatever happened to Itagaki and his Devil's Third. Last I heard the studio now owns the Devil's Third IP but it stilll needs a publisher. I'm looking at YOU Nintendo.

I wasn't talking about the quality of the game, I was talking about all the hype how it was going to bring all the FPS franchises to the Wii, that never happened. I am pretty sure I had already sold my Wii by the time or before Red Steel 2 came out because I never heard of Motion +. And Ubisoft or not, this thread is talking about franchises Nintendo should fight for or pick up as exclusives, Red Steel fits that perfectly they DID partner with Ubisoft to get it as an exclusive.
I guess you don't like using pointer controls for aiming? I thought it was so much smoother and more intuitive than using an analog stick. Playing GoldenEye, Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Black Ops was amazing using the Wii Remote's pointer.
You should also try out Killzone 3 and Resistance 3 using the Move controller. Those games control the same as many Wii shooters.

It was more than that, I hated everything about the Wiimote. It ruined gaming for me.

If it ruined gaming for you, why are you posting on a gaming forum you signed up for less than 2 weeks ago? Shouldn't you have picked up a new hobby? Seems counterproductive...

That's like saying one bad girlfriend ruined girls for you and you turned to guys.
I agree with tendoboy that pointer controls are very good for aiming. With analogue sticks you tend to push in 1 of 8 directions anyway when you want to aim, a bit like an upgraded d-pad. There is a limit to how good a person can get with an analogue stick because the aim speed is determined by the game but the gap in skill level widens when its with a pointer.

I love first person shooters with the Wii Remote. Can we use that option in Black Ops 2?

Yes, Activision confirmed you can use Wii Remote and Nunchuk to play the Wii U version.
This is one of the few reasons I'd even consider picking up this game. I didn't like the first (and last) Call of Duty game I tried (MW2: Reflex) but I feel this time around, with Wii U's supposedly better online component, it may be easier to play multi with friends (and you guys!). If it was dual-stick only, I would DEFINITELY pass it up; IR pointing for shooters all the way, baby!

I'm in all the way with the Wiimote! This will be my first and last Call of Duty for at least 2 years. Hoping at the most 3, by then maybe people will have had enough of yearly offerings.
Oh yeah, an Ecco the Dolphin game is trying to get the green light. I doubt Sega will think it worthy enough to be made. Hopefully Nintendo gets a whiff and jumps on it.

All I am going to say is that I am a Nintendo gamer, so if a Nintendo console became unplayable for me that meant it ruined gaming *for me* and leave it at that. I am trying to get excited for the new console, so please don't go and talk me out of it by reminding me how much I grew to hate them the last generation.
