Inti Creates Talks Developing for Switch: "Feels Like Nintendo Is Slowly Catching up to PS4"

Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu talks about how easy it is to become a Switch developer.

[DigitalRaptor]

Interesting viewpoint.

It's an indie developer's dream device for sure.

"Catching up to PS4"

[EddieNX]

He means in terms of indie development, devs have slated Nintendo for making it difficult in the past, Anyone can easily slap an indie game on Switch now just like Ps4.

[hduce]

@Foxtrot Someone didn't read the article. The only thing you saw was the title and went into instant defense mode.

[AZRoboto]

A GIF of a drag queen isn't defense mode. Nintendo's online store and setup is still awful; it needs a major overhaul before all these titles come out because content discovery is going to be a real problem.

[-Foxtrot]

Not defence mode when the PS4 has been out for years and has hit high numbers only to see someone say Nintendo is catching up only a month or two in.

Any relation ?

[-Foxtrot]

To Bianca Del Rio...one of the best drag queens around

I wish

[septemberindecember]

Foxtrot, you should try reading the article. I'll give you a hint, it has nothing to do with hardware sales. Makes your comments seem pretty foolish, huh?

[Istolla]

You look so stupid right now, it's cringeworthy. Please read the article...

[Neonridr]

now now Fox.. don't get all worked up. It's not like he was referring to sales or anything..

but you know, you would have to read beyond the title of the article to understand that, so I guess we were hoping for a little too much from you there :P

[BrianIsPeachyKeen]

You really struggle at clicking and reading don't you?

[Elda]

Good for Switch consumers.

[ILostMyMind]

lol

[bluefox755]

My response as well.

[zb1ftw777]

And the 2 first party games on the switch are already better than anything the xb1 or ps4 has to offer aswell.

[quent]

That would be objectively incorrect my good sir, ps4 got Bloodborne and xb got FH3, which are both exceptional titles

[Razzer]

Objectively? Come on

[MeteorPanda]

Woah, you know the zelda game got features cut and delayed so itd butcher the wiiu sales to make it look good on the switch? Also cute blind fanboyism you got there

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

That's a lie; all the DLC that's coming is still under development. Anything that was changed was for parity's sake, which is not a bad thing as most of it was just little stuff, like using the game pad screen for a map.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@mete- lol I mean I don't think there's any evidence that suggests anything was delayed or cut. Even though it is the general popular consensus that yes breath of the wild indeed was delayed for the switch which I actually agree is a likely scenario.

@wonde-just stop you don't have any more information that such a thing didn't happen any more than he does that it did.

I don't know why you thought one ignorant post deserved one just as ignorant

Smh

I think it's humorous that you don't even see that you're essentially just the other side of the same coin.

What he saying is straight based on being a fanboy but what you're saying to be honest is also based on being a fanboy anyway....

I'm not saying he's 100% correct but at the end of the day they are Wii U features removed that never even made sense to be removed considering that was the target audience for that game in the first place.

I'm not going to crucify them because of that decision but I'm also not going to sit here and applaud them for cutting content and releasing a game with missing features, just to make it for the switches launch, that's not really fair for people who waited for the Wii U version only to have it not even use the actual Gamepad despite videos showing the function originally.

I'm not saying you have to bash the company but please stop going hard edge in its defense because some of it sounds just comical and ridiculous to the point where we can't even take anything you say seriously.

I mean have you considered you sound just as crazy as he does? 😂😂😂

[MeteorPanda]

@edmix they cut the touch of the gamepad. The menus are...a lot, imagine if the wiiu had say...instant touch? They said it felt better to hide how they cannibalised the wiiu sales to push the switch, thats clear as day as a cut feature. You even confirm it and lm crazy? I didnt buy the game in protest for that act

[richyque]

Its going to nice feeding these switch users crow when their little kiddie console from last gen fails hard like wii u did after a year in a half.

[stuna1]

My god give some people an inch, you want to take a mile! The Switch as of now doesn't even have enough 2nd party games on the platform to even make that comparison!

[_-EDMIX-_]

Lol

Rather unlikely.

What's the PlayStation 4 is able to achieve is having all major 3rd party as well as having Superior third-party from Japan as well as having an amazing first party.

That's not happening with Nintendo.

I mean their own decision to choose inferior Hardware has already solidified that several of those points is not going to happen.

Even in regards to Independent Games The Witcher 3 as an independent game by an independent developer yet clearly it is not on the Switch people need to understand that the same reasons major triple a third party games are not going to come on the switch that exist on PS4 and Xbox One is the same exact reason those independent Triple A games won't appear either.

Being independent doesn't simply mean being underpowered and less demanding...

By default the switch is going to receive a less independent games because of its inferiority.

[CrimsonPheonix]

The Switch will have plenty of games from indies Nintendo's 1st party and back catalog as well as japanese 3rd party as did the 3DS. Some triple A games won't run on the switch and won't be made to it will have a strong library of it's own that won't be on PS4. Not a Fanboy I own both systems and there both doing great things.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I agree that the switch is going to have plenty of first party games that's actually why I said only some of them Nintendo always does a great job with the first party...

I was actually saying that comment in regards to third-party that they're going to clearly like in terms of those Triple A games are seeing on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

They're also going to be missing some independent games like what you're saying but The Witcher it is very clear cyberpunk is not coming to them or even something like hell blade if it's going to be a high-end independent game you're still running into the same technical limitation.

By default the PlayStation 4 is always going to receive more in both those categories of third-party and independent.

Lol

I also plan to purchase the switch when they announce Animal Crossing or likely the next Bravely Default.

I also 100% agree with you that the best success that's going to come from the switch is going to be from their first party offerings and from there Japanese third-party support which is always historically been strong.

[Ristul]

I really hope the Switch takes off, not just in terms of indies but in third party games and o/c sales, a strong Nintendo and a strong Sony is going to make this console generation even better.

[MeteorPanda]

The title is an adorable clickbait

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Glad most indies are loving it.

[JLynn943]

Oh look, an article that 90% of the commenters didn't read.

[deafdani]

N4G in a nutshell.

[TheOttomatic91]

Ya once again an unfortunate clickbait title to a rather interesting article, the developer is solely referring to indie games as to overall success. Given that the Switch just came out this year it's highly doubtful it would be near the financial success of XB1 and PS4.

[Gemmol]

nintendo will be ahead in financial success by end of this year.....mobile is bringing them a lot of money and this is not counting money they make from the switch which do not sell at a loss........its also why switch have more marketing than any other nintendo system in the past.....all the money they made from mobile allows them to not touch the money in the bank look at the words at the end of this article they made around 170 million from mobile........so right now they swimming in money bro

https://www.engadget.com/20...

[TheOttomatic91]

I wouldn't be too sure about that it's true that Pokemon GO brought Ninty a lot of cash but that died out quickly after about a year or so and there hasn't been a mobile title that has bought Nintendo any real success since.

Also keep in mind the Wii too had a record breaking launch and I believe it's still the console that has sold the most hardware but its software sales besides its launch and bundled titles were laughably bad. Not too mention the lack of third party support Ninty is well known for (they didn't even expect GO to be a success) means besides Odyssey and a couple of Remasters on Switch there is a high chance of a software drought incoming. It's true they have plent of money now but the problem with that they have a tendency to do very little with it and release very few worthy titles over their hardwares life cycle. You should keep that in mind............bro.

[Gemmol]

I think you are confuse the article i posted wasnt even talking about pokemon go........6 percent of 200 million people payed the 10 dollars to unlock super mario run.....that is 12 million customers.....multiply that by 10.....that is 120 million in sales.......this not counting other mobile games........just super mario run.......

dont forget fire emblem made 5 million in 2 days.......... you need to check your numbers over bro.......these are the money paying nintendo advertisement

[TheOttomatic91]

Um I understand that english isn't your first language but could you please rephrase that? I'm not trying to offend you but I legitimately don't understand what your typing.

[Gemmol]

read the article i posted and you would be less confused, 170 million in cash from super mario run, mitimo, fire emblem shows nintendo on the right path ........the 170 million do not come from pokemon go

[VersusDMC]

More praise from a developer who mainly developes for Nintendo consoles... But I love the megaman zero and gunvolt series (which they developed) so all the best to them. Sucks that never made a gunvolt type game or port for the vita. Gunvolt 2 is probably my last 3ds game.

[richyque]

3 months in lol, wii u had a great 1st year also and had a much better line up.
