Last week, during an investor and analyst presentation, Nintendo revealed it had a free-to-play game in the works, due to debut before the end of the year. The publisher also indicated it wouldn't use franchises like Mario or Pokemon for its new pricing experiment, due to the "degree of trust" that had already been built with consumers with regards to pricing. But at E3 2013, Nintendo executive Shigeru Miyamoto revealed to IGN that the franchise his company has targeted is none other than Steel Diver.
Knack has been in the PlayStation 4, and while it isn’t a terrible game, it isn’t a game that would have urged anyone to purchase the brand new system when it arrived.
Super Mario Land on #1 and not even a mention of Ryse while Knack is on #4.
Sometimes...opinions are just not right.
Some really mediocre launch games were Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle (Mega Drive), Beauty and the Beast (CD-I), Virtua Fighter on the Saturn that was such a bad port that they released a VF Remix,Street Fighter: The Movie (Playstation), Godzilla Generations (Dreamcast) and TransWorld Surf (Xbox)
Listing games like Perfect Dark Zero and mentioned Super Mario Land however...come on.
No. Just no.
Most of the Sega CD launch titles were garbage. Sewer Shark in particular was the worst.
I felt bad for any kid that got CyberMorph with the Atari Jaguar too!
As far as bad launch titles go... this list is soft.
Really poor article. Trying desperately to get controversy clicks with it's obviously baiting #1 choice. There is nothing of worth here.
Techtorial: Amazon has cut the prices of several Wii U and 3DS games with more than 50% savings before Black Friday begins.
Techtorial: Amazon is now discounting several Nintendo 3DS games up to 75% off from their original prices.
Yeahhh... everyone was reeaally lookin forward to that one...
Seems like an odd title to pick, where's my Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and Harvest MMO??
well it's gonna be their first and will be experimental... i'm pretty sure if things go well, we'll be seeing more. although I highly doubt it's gonna be based on Mario or Pokemon as mentioned; but then again who knows, maybe this is how Pokemon MMO will come to be.
Its a start, its free so no one can really complain. The fact that nintendo is doing this is incredibly interesting though, they are starting to change their ways
This seems like a great time to try a new IP instead of making the worst 3ds game F2P.
