According to SEGA France & Spain CEO James Rebours, Nintendo should provide more mature games to the Wii to help third publishers making good sells with their games. But he also confirms that MadWorld has a rather positive sells sheet and that the success is enough therefore.
And Sega still have mature games to come to Wii even what was said before.
It has been announced that Ubisoft's Executive Committee and Board of Directors will launch an investigation and review of the company.
Is Ubisoft board going to investigate themselves since they're the ones telling Ubisoft how to do less for more and push MTX over taking longer to make better games w/o them?
Honestly kinda glad all these AAA publishers are finally imploding, they've tainted this industry and took advantage of us too long. Die and don't come back
The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.
Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.
Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.
It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.
Where does the time go?
I think this guy should be fired. I mean why the hell was he hired to promote these games and get them to sell. Nintendo actualy went to malls to let people play their games. Doesn't sound expensive word of mouth never is.
Wii gamers are not sheep they are lasped hardcore gamers and adults. when you get that then you will have checks to cash.
It seems Capcom of France thinks that the opportunity for "hardcore" games has dried for the Wii, due to their sale of Darkside Chronicles. Perhaps if they weren't "testing" the Wii audience by giving them the double ported Resident Evil 4 and the rail shooter Umbrella Chronicles (nothing against rail shooters) just to see if it was safe to put Resident Evil 5 (or any RE4 style game) on the Wii and then giving them another on-rails Resident Evil, things might be different. No one wants to be a lab rat, espscially twice. And in result of this act, just made them look like they were taking the Wii audience for a ride, considering they both sold over 1 mil. but ah well, RE5 wasn't that good of a game, imo. And now we are getting more re-makes/rereleases like RE Zero.
EA is also guilty of this with Dead Space: Extraction being a rail-shooter when the original game's core fans known it to be a third-per shooter. Not that it's a bad game, but still.
I don't know why third-party devs continue to complain about working with the Wii. If they're that unhappy, then move to another console! Stop complaining and do something about it.
Sega should not bite the hand that feeds them. Their highest selling game ever, in their entire company history, is Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. Second is Sonic 2. In fact three out of their five top selling games have been on Nintendo consoles. From this generation too.
