In fact, it works to their benefit that the likes of EA and Ubisoft are scaling back their interest in the platform."
Former EA developer and the founder of indie developer Nnooo, Nic Watt, has revealed an EA Pokémon competitor was in the works.
Wouldn't they normally just buy a company who is working on a Pokemon like a game. Then close them and make them do something else?
Yeah..maybe all those Worst Company of the year awards got to them...not really. Maybe they are waiting for the P Go craze to die down and then release their clone?
Or maybe they realized that they are lacking the creative talent to come up with this kind of game. Most likely, actually.
I probably played monster rancher more than Pokémon. Particularly the 2nd one. I wish they'd make a new one.
There was one called collectem that supposedly still in development for sony systems. Thing is its been in development for years and not much on it like they they taking a long break or something
If the rumours are true then your in luck, new Pokemon game may be coming to the NX
Is it gonna be a true Pokemon game like the ones for game boy and 3ds or is it gonna be a spin off like go or that Pokemon game where you take pictures all day because the spin offs are ass
Pokemon Battle Revolution was pretty awesome, but we need another game like Pokemon Colosseum, with multiple regions to explore. Hoenn, Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh. Where we can traverse all those regions defeating their respective gym leaders and Elite Fours. With all pokemon available, all wrapped up with a pretty good story. Why has Nintendo not done this yet? That has triple A all over it. Could be a potential GOTY.
Because why do that when they can split them all like they do?
Your way: $40 game
Nintendo's way: $80 for each region then $120 for the original Blue, Red, and Yellow
I mean, you just gotta catch them all, right? Plus now they've found a way to add in meaningless accessories with the Z-Ring. $30 for the ring then $7 for a three pack of crystals to use with the ring.
Mark from PN2 reviews Blast 'em Bunnies by Aussie studio, Nnooo.
"Blast ’em Bunnies isn’t your typical console experience. It feels more like the best kind of mobile game combined with a classic arcade shooter, brought over to the big boys leagues with extra content. It’s the perfect antidote between bouts of The Division or Halo."
AA writes, "With the launch of Blast ‘Em Bunnies imminent, Analog Addiction had a chance to speak to one of the creative minds behind these games, Nnooo Creative Director and Founder Nic Watt."
I could see the wii u becoming a creative haven in a world of big budgets and technical pretention.
The gamecube owners bought good games like viewtiful joe and killer7, at least they bought them at comparitively higher numbers given the ps2 had 6 times the consoles out there.
Too early to tell, but original, quirky games like W101 and bayonetta 2 could sell fair enough on the wii u off their exclusivity and creativity. The no more heroes games did pretty well, for example.
I often find myself flopping between liking the wii u as a system that will offer an original experience, and disliking it for doing the same thing. Here's hoping the games push me towards the former.
Nintendo is making it pretty easy for Indies to develop for the WiiU. Several times they've been the first to ask for a title to come to the WiiU, and offered consultation and support to get them on.
With how crowded the Mobile market is home consoles are a smart alternative for Indie devs, they don't need to underprice or undervalue their games to get noticed
You can't go wrong with free dev kits.
