Nintendo better be out there trying to get support from all third party studios

Godchild10204145d ago (Edited 4145d ago )

Maybe Take Two will Okay Bioshock Vita, if they will also launch it on the WiiU?

MizTv4145d ago

Didn't they say two years ago they were making a bioshock for vita?

DOMination-4145d ago

Yes they did but they haven't started it and i can see them not bothering unless vita picks up

Godchild10204145d ago (Edited 4145d ago )

@MizTv, Here is a link where Ken said, "It's up to Take Two and Sony." While Sony might be on board for an exclusive Bioshock Vita, Take Two might want it to be Multi-platform. Only time will tell.

Third parties don't sell all that well on Nintendo consoles. Said it before and ill say it again. Nintendo will lack third party support just like the wii did because of the different ways the wii u plays games. Unless the third party game is exclusive I just don't see many porting games to play well through the tablet controller.

neogeo4145d ago (Edited 4145d ago )

3rd party games sold great on NES,SNES then did well on GC but the GC it self had a lower install base. Then NIN really lost it on the Wii for hardcore games but 3rd party family games sell great. Nintendogs, cooking mama, dance dance.

Now is Nintendo chance to get back on board with the 3rd party's but they can't be arrogant and wait for it. They need to pound the sidewalks, yell and scream and even offer incentives if need be. I hope NIN knows this is real and the wrong moves could really hurt them this time.

torchic4145d ago

do you honestly think Nintendo cares?

Trekster_Gamer4145d ago

They should care. If they think they can repeat what the Wii did they are sadly mistaken. I hope we don't see the same crap only in HD throw in yet the same mario game, zelda and metroid. If they think this will sell Wii U they are in for a very awakening.

Oh_Yeah4145d ago (Edited 4145d ago )

You have to look at it from the other side also. There's a lack of interest from some of the devs I'm sure.. They're the ones that want to sell games right? Obviously they would be the ones approaching Nintendo if they thought it'd be worth it. At this point, some devs are probably just waiting for the the arrival of next gen. And once again wii u will probably end up like the wii..weak in comparison to the other consoles..So even if the devs want to do 3rd party games they'll have to basically make another version.

Neonridr4144d ago

But we are talking about a game that is releasing on the Xbox and PS3, not next gen. The Wii U can easily handle a port of those games.

Cant make a game for something that it cant run on...

Ninty does not care about 3rd party.

Riderz13374145d ago

Nintendo doesn't, but gamers do.

GraveLord4145d ago

Smart.
I can't believe THQ made Darksiders 2 for Wii U in their financial situation...waste of money. The game didn't even sell at all.

Neonridr4144d ago

the game has been out for 3 weeks in NA and less than that around the world. While sales have been low, it's not like there isn't more potential for sales as hardware units become available and the install base grows.

theindiearmy4144d ago

Forget about the game, the console hasn't even been out that long. If you're selling 20,000 copies on a system that only has 400,000 out (more with EU and JPN launches), you're doing really well.

20,000 of 400,000 is 1/20 of the systems sold. 1/20 of a system that has 70m in sales is 3.5m copies, which is a great success for a game. Just for perspective, Darksiders II has about 1.3m in sales total, let alone on a single console.

Also factor in that this isn't even including the digital sales that Darksiders II has done and I'd say it's been somewhat successful.

Dread4145d ago

traditionaly Nintendo focuses on first party support. at least it did during the 64 and gamecube era. The wii era only had third party for shovelware. Very few AAA third party games were ever published on the WII.

So this does not surprise me at all.

Trekster_Gamer4145d ago

It is NOT the same as it was with the N64 and GameCube era. It is a much much bigger industry and much more diverse and your games need to match this.

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

Soy265d ago

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

gamerz264d ago

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Christopher264d ago

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

Soy263d ago

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

jznrpg264d ago (Edited 264d ago )

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

sadraiden264d ago

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.

8 Best Games Set In A Multiverse

One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.

However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.

While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
