Thread 725018036

Nintendo states they will buy developers in order to bolster their AAA game development.
Who do you think they will buy?

>>725018036 (OP)
Hal

House House

>>725018036 (OP)
Jesus. I thought 1 exclusive per month was enough.

I dunno, sony?

>>725018036 (OP)
This is the kikes' plan to take over the gaming industry in Japan (if they haven't already)

No they don't state that. It's just an example.

Realistically, just some random almost-unknown dev like they did with Shiver before.

>>725018036 (OP)
isn't it like 15 years too late to start doing things like this? the plates been licked clean by EA and Microsoft so many times now I'd be surprised if there's any competent teams left to buy up

>>725018215
Realistically Nintendo's just gonna buy small nonamed developers to do the grunt work of development like assets and working on open world stuff while their main developers focus on the creative work.

They're gonna buy Pocket Pair.

>>725018036 (OP)
Didnt they just buy warp star inc?

>>725018036 (OP)
>Nintendo is becoming Microsoft/ Sony in more ways than ever before
Good. Can't wait for the normie gaming bubble to burst
This retardation the industry has become since gen 7 needs to die

They’re buying Take 2

>>725018036 (OP)
Valve and then they'll shut Steam down

They should really have at least one Western studio working under them that aren't Retro, because Retro have really failed at their stated intention of providing games for the Western audience, past literally Metroid Prime 1. They very quickly became that studio who revives dormant Nintendo properties, which is a whole other thing entirely.
Nintendo needs their own FPS, and their own Witcher-esque dark fantasy franchise. Those are two glaring holes in their library. They could maybe use an MGS style stealth series too.

Who exists who can do that, and would also benefit from an influx of Nintendo cash?

>>725018036 (OP)
well, Bioware is about to get axed, so maybe they can put them to use lmao

>>725020429
Why would anyone buy Bioware?

>>725019294
>They should really have at least one Western studio working under them that aren't Retro
that's next level games

>>725018473
They may as well all be the same company at this point.

>>725020625
they made the kotor like 20 years ago!
remember that??

>>725020656
Okay, they need a studio that doesn't just make "Nintendo games". They need another Silicon Knights.

>>725018104
1 exclusive a month is pretty little if you don't happen to play the exact genres getting released.

Nintendo will only buy studios without any popular IP. They only want manpower to work on their existing properties.

>>725018036 (OP)
they will probably buy someone everyone thinks is already owned by Nintendo but isn't like HAL or Intelligent Systems

I was gonna suggest Monolith and Retro but they're already owned by Nintendo. I'd say Camelot, but they've been owned by Nintendo de facto since the 90s.

It'll probably be studios they frequently outsource to like Acquire and Grezzo.

>>725018036 (OP)
I wish I would they would buy Grasshopper and tard wrangle them like they did Retro, Monolithsoft, Platinum, etc., etc.

>>725020850
anon they're not microsoft, they're not interested in buying pre existing IPs, if they acquire a new studio then this new studio will be used to make nintendo games, not mature gaymes for mature gaymers

>>725018036 (OP)
Remember, Nintendo doesn't buy developers for the name but for their talent

>>725025268
That's a regressive view of Nintendo frankly. People like Elden Ring. Nintendo have money to support development on a variety of products. Why don't they have their own Elden Ring? Why don't they have their own Half Life, or Gran Turismo?
They're leaving money on the table, and it's silly.

>>725018173
Mamdani will save us

>>725018036 (OP)
Wayforward

>>725025782
>Why don't they have their own Elden Ring?
because their entire way of operating is to make games other studios don't make

this is why instead of doing some shitty hero shooter like overwatch they made splatoon

They're going to buy studios no one has heard of and you have to look up what gabes they've done, like how they bought that one studio I've already forgotten the name of that that specializes in porting games.

>>725018215
EA and Microsoft bought them and then fired them all. Nintendo could easily expand NOA to have a development studio just hiring everyone that's been fired if that's the direction Nintendo wanted to go in.

>>725019294
They have the Luigi's Mansion 3 guys. But the only one that makes sense are toys for bob.

they're definitely not going on a buying spree like Sony and MS did years ago. Very likely it's already developers who they have good relationships with

>>725026076
shiver entertainment

>>725026050
You mean like Xenoblade, which is a bog standard JRPG, and compliments their library nicely, because they didn't have one of those to call their own since they lost Final Fantasy?

This notion that Nintendo are only supposed to make games that feature Mario and the recognizable Nintendo faces is backwards, and I don't support it.
Metroid never would have existed if they had this attitude in the 80's.
>Nintendo doesn't make space shooters! Nintendo makes Mario! Blather blather blather!
No, this is retarded.
You can have both.

>>725026104
they bought shiver because embracer was selling it for pennies
if any big corporation is having a fire sale in the future you can bet nintendo will sniff around for another cheap acquisition

>>725018036 (OP)
The biggest fish I could see Nintendo catching would be either Koei Tecmo or Bandai Namco. They would want the teams that they have strong relationships with.

Me

>>725026050
They do is Breath of the Wild and they're making the third game now.

>>725026510
Netease is looking to divest their Japanese studios.

What they should do is expand their European arm by poaching some disgruntled former MercurySteam workers. A sort of roundabout way of bringing 2D Metroid development back in-house while circumventing the lousy management of the studio itself. NERD is based in France but they should create a branch in Spain

>>725025782
elden ring ripped off BOTW, retard

>>725021174
Agree
they are operating completely differently from MS/Sony because they are not out shopping for IPs
in fact They have too many franchises that they can't make games quickly enough for their Existing portfolio
I think they Snap up Tose since they only really have Starfy which isn't popular so they can ignore it Maybe put him in Kirby games like Lolo and Lala instead of having his own games Anymore

>>725026737
>le botw is le ubisoft game!!!
almost ten years of mindbreak and butthurt

They should have bought Capcom

>>725018173
While they've certainly not been fully resistant to progressive influence Nintendo have done a better job of resisting the rot than anybody else in the industry. If anything you will be more likely to see brought out devs get less woke

Note: game freak and the pokémon company are not Nintendo, and even then they're medium level offenders against Nintendo's light level offense.

Just spend a big one-off chunk to buy out Game Freak once and for all and fire all the staff there and assume direct control over Pokemon.

>>725018095
>untitled tanuki game
>bold no big walk

>>725018173
They already control the japanese market, also their venture into movies could be a big opportunity for the jews to have an even bigger monopoly on that market

>>725018036 (OP)
Know everyone’s talking about them buying devs to help with development but the part that catches my eye is the line about expanding consumer relationships when it’s absolutely NOT what they’ve been doing with this new generation
>nintendo: ”we wanna expand and strengthen out relationship with the customer”
>the same nintendo that cut gold points, is cutting vouchers, locking classic controllers behind NSO, and locking the virtual boy console behind an overpriced peripheral/cardboard
Actual translation: we intend on milking our fans harder than ever

>>725018215
A lot of the stuff listed in the examples column is things they did a while back (DeNA partnership, MyNintendo Store, Dynamo/Nintendo Pictures etc)

>>725027842
The actual translation is expanding the eShop into third world shitholes if we're going off the examples.

>>725027276
Ubiosft towers are okay when Nintendo does it.
Did you know that botw was also the first open world game? So innovative.

>>725027150
Not really. But Zelda has it's niche as light hearted fantasy. There is a certain desire among nintendo fans for a slightly more serious Zelda, hence they should have another series for that.
Something with Nintendo's standards of quality and design mentality, but with a dark fantasy vibe to it. That would be a cool thing to have, and it's silly we don't have it.

It's silly we don't have a more straight laced FPS series or haven't had one since Perfect Dark.
It's silly we don't have a survival horror, or haven't had one since Eternal Darkness.
It's silly we don't have a stealth series, etc.

And considering MGS is dead, there's a window there for literally anyone to come along and try to fill the void.

>>725018036 (OP)
dont get people's hopes up
it doesn't say they're making AAA games
they'll just buy devs that can make nintendo style games, just more 2nd party devs

>>725029353
....what makes you think nintendo fans want triple A stuff. I'm not saying anything is wrong with them but that's almost never been nintendo's focus

>>725030307
pretty sure Nintendo's bigger games are already AAA, by any measurable metric. What's the budget of Donkey Kong Bananza?

>>725018104
>buy Sony
>put out 0 extra exclusives per generation

>>725018036 (OP)
take Rare back

>>725028427
Your sense of shame is far too strong.

>>725028040
>splatoon has shooting and jumping? lmao so much for innovation tendies are a cult!!!

>>725018959
Imagine steam on Nintendo with proton or something
Tendies would finally have games to play and that would be good for Devs because they wouldn't need to invest into porting.
>>725025782
Why this strategy isn't popular anymore. It used to be that Sony was trying to make it's own halo while Microsoft tried to create it's god of war copy. Now everyone is trying to make their Fortnite and look how it turned out. We seriously need more copycating. Maybe larger copies of today's indie games will come out in 10 years because of long and retarded dev cycles.
>>725028597
When people think MGS they don't want stealth action gameplay. They want characters and whatever weird shit kojima has cooked up this time. MGS isn't a niche as much as Kojima is. So to fill MGS niche you need Kojima. And with how everything has it's fun and creativity committeed and focus grouped out of it we won't be getting any new Kojimas

>>725030952
>revive Ape Escape
>revive Gravity Rush
>revive Resistance/Killzone/SOCOM

Sony has good IPs, them keeping them dead is their own problem.

>>725031158
Literally has nothing to do with anything.
Mario games are good, but the last thing Nintendo needs is more Mario games. They need variety, and things to hook people who aren't already buying Nintendo systems.
I don't have a Switch 2 yet, but if there was the offer of Mario, and some new cool exclusive fantasy RPG or MGS inspired stealth game, yeah I'd probably buy one.

We literally had this shit in prior generations when they were publishing Perfect Dark and stuff, so I don't see why it's a problem now. People have a weirdly regressive idea of what Nintendo are supposed to be.

>>725018036 (OP)
D3Publisher to make more quality AAA pokemon experience

>>725028040
Hey man people thought Final Fantasy Rebirth was GOTY worthy last year and that was nothing but Ubisoft towers and cutscenes

>>725028040
>Did you know that botw was also the first open world game?
Might as well have been considering how many series switched into open world right after to capitalize on its success. This includes Elden Ring.

Eric status?

>>725018036 (OP)
Platinum is going to need someone to rescue them. Nintendo buying snk would be interesting too, give them some competent artists and some animation assistance and you have the seed of a new capcom, genki would also be a good pickup if they weren't fucking retarded and put analog triggers on their controller, the danganronpa guys might also be cheap. I would wait and see what bokeh does next, if they release another mediocre game ignore them but there might be potential.

There's alot of struggling Japanese studios with tonnes of expertise that are only a step and a half from making god tier shit.

>>725018036 (OP)
If they buy a single American studio they are retarded and it's a sign they are going bankrupt.

>>725030550
I highly doubt it's anything remotely close to western AAA budgets

bananza's team isn't even the full EPD tokyo studio, a lot of odyssey devs didn't work on the game

>>725032184
>what is Retro Studios?
If anything, they absolutely should buy some Western studios, and free them from developing Blackrock slop

>>725030550
BotW and Odyssey had higher budgets than the Sony exclusives at the time. Nintendo was doing AAA in 2017, but the current cost of AAA is like 3 times as much as it was then so they'd be a bit crazy to make a $300 million budget Mario game.

They’re not buying Platinum since they don’t own anything and it’s easier to poach talent

>>725018036 (OP)
>Nintendo states they will buy developers in order to bolster their AAA game development.
It doesn't say that

>>725032381
>BotW and Odyssey had higher budgets than the Sony exclusives at the time
yeah I'm going to need a sourcerino on that

>>725032340
Ah yes, one of if not their most expensive studio to run that hasn't made a single new game in... 11 years. Metroid prime 4 looks shit also, the last thing Nintendo wants is more dead weight like retro.

>>725032678
Retro were great before everyone left.
In fact, they still did a really good job on the Prime Remaster. They just got stuck spinning their wheels on a project that was going nowhere for years, and no one told them no, for some reason.

Ubisoft.
Should be dirt cheap + they collab with them every now and then.

>>725018036 (OP)
Grasshopper Manufacturer is one studio I think could do well under Nintendo’s watch. I’m honestly surprised Nintendo didn’t buy them around the time NMH3 launched, but as >>725026838 said, maybe the window to buy them is open again.

>>725032878
pretty sure they got bought by some Chinese corp a few years ago.

They could buy NIS

>>725032856
Man, what if they just fired everyone, and put Beyond Good and Evil 2 back into production (but good, this time), lmao.

>>725018036 (OP)
Platinum

>>725032812
Yes, American AAA was great too until it wasn't, now they are universally dog shit and 4x the cost. Nobody should be investing in any American dev, Japan least of all when their own talent is so much better and cheap as fuck.

>>725018036 (OP)
Probably some of the smaller Japanese devs that are barely even known outside of Japan. I don't see them going after the big players and spending billions

>>725026884
This
MercurySteam is a shitshow that only made Dread because of good supervision from Nintendo. Lure away those who worked on it and make NERD an actual game dev subsidiary

>>725031145
The people that were on Rare left long ago.

And besides, I don't want them to touch Donkey Kong ever again.

Now more Banjo Kazooie or Perfect Dark... All the welcome but with their respective teams.

>nintendo buys out from software
>makes them work on the next zelda game
DO IT

>>725018104
There's no way they could buy Sony as a whole, they could buy PlayStation franchises that they sit on like Ape Escape or Gravity Rush but I doubt they want them.
>>725024021
Most likely this.

>>725032010
He Got That Dawg in Him

I bet this is because of the rise of chinese investments in japan the past few years

>>725033195
I have to presume some companies are still capable.
There's no smaller company that made a decent breakout hit in the past few years?

>>725033394
Literally why would you want that? Now you have one less cake, moron.

They're buying Eighting
Miyamoto is forcing Nintendo to push Pikmin as a core franchise moving forward and they have handled the majority of the development on Pikmin 4. They will force them into being the Pikmin team and scrap the fighting games they're known for

>>725033394
keep rollslop far away from nintendo, fromtranny

>>725033732
Too late, haven't heard of The Duskbloods?

So, taking models made for the movies and using them for the games?

>>725033851

>>725032381
lmao not true. shut the fuck fag

>>725032606
>>725036520
Go google the budgets of shit like GoW 2018 and then BotW/Odyssey. There's a reason why BotW and Odyssey are still the best Switch games, they had the most invested into them. That's the "Nintendo magic", it's called a budget.

>>725018036 (OP)
>SA

I wonder how they going deal with retard ass taxes.

>>725036972
yeah so you have nothing, thanks for confirming you're full of shit and don't forget to dilate

>>725018036 (OP)
Call me a commie but I really don’t think it’s a good idea to let billion dollar businesses buy other businesses. Unless you really like Walmart I suppose

>>725039440
there's a point to be made that sometimes a struggling company can use an injection of cash.
That's only sometimes though.

>>725039668
See: Rare
Nintendo basically took a pretty good ZX Spectrum and NES developer, and groomed them into a god tier developer in the SNES and N64 generations.

>>725033393
I just want perfect dark and jet force gemini, don't care how shit they'd be, just wanna see what it would look like.

>>725018036 (OP)
Any studio that could revive starfox?

>>725041727
Honestly, if you want a really good Starfox, get Sakurai and Hal to do it.

>>725034524
Holly delusion

>>725041727
Star Fox could be revived by Retro Studios like how they kept Metroid and Donkey Kong alive for years. The issue is Retro is a proud homosexual company so the first thing they would do to Star Fox is delete the female characters or make them ugly. And I don't care how this sounds will never buy a Star Fox game where the females are ugly like how westerners typically design them.

Samus dodges the ugly stick because Sakamoto is extremely insistent that she remains good looking. And even then they still keep shrinking her breasts.

>>725018036 (OP)
Nintendo buying stuff....they're truly becoming Disney. Oh well would be funny if Nintendo buys Square Enix.

>>725043001
Deck the halls nigga

>>725043584
Nintendo avoid large purchases, they actually enjoy competition and devs doing their own thing.

Yes, they can theoretically buy lot of big boy devs like capcom or SE, but why bother when they can just get their best codemonkeys and reap the benefits?

>>725018036 (OP)
They are 100% buying Koei Tecmo considering that last direct.

>>725019294
>Dark fantasy

Duskbloods. Bayonetta.

The cope that they will get ported over eventually is just a cope.

>>725028427
Nintendo owns Fatal Frame now.

>>725032058
Nintendo poached the actual talent from Platinum while letting the literal retards it sink the company into the ground.

>>725044473
Is Nintendo even funding Duskbloods like they did with Bayo 2 & 3, or is it just a publishing thing outside of Japan?

>>725034029
Duskbloods is being published by Nintendo. It is not coming to other platforms, ever.

>>725043868
Brand power. No one likes the creators themselves but rather the famous established brands. This is why Resident Evil is still king while Evil Within is a failure despite having the same main game designer.

>>725044756
They're co-developing it yes. This has been HARD CONFIRMED.

The cope that it's going multiplat is just an excuse from Elden Ring fanboys to not buy a Switch 2.

>>725044756
Nintendo doesn't "just" publish, they go for outright distribution rights.

I'm still surprised that they haven't gone for Bayo, I'm sure SEGA would sell it to them.

There's no reason for them to not pick the bones of Square or Ubisoft or WB which are all about to collapse

>>725044924
Nintendo buying SE would be karmic justice at is best.

I'm sure they have the hard cash to do it but I doubt that Japan would let them.

>>725018036 (OP)
WayForward

>>725045015
I don't really care about Square Enix as a whole but it would be nice if they could get the publishing rights for Dragon Quest

Lightspeed Studios

>>725045143
Dragon Quest is really the only iconci JRPG franchise there is. Everything else, including FF, is just a knock off of it in some way and is easily replacable.

>>725045279
>DQ
>Iconic
Only in Japan, also you mean only in SE because Megaten, Dark Souls and Pokemon are fare more iconic JRPGS than DQ at this point

>>725045481
>Megaten

>>725045878
Megaten includes Persona.

>>725018215
I wouldn't exactly call Bethesda and Activision competent

>>725044917
>I'm still surprised that they haven't gone for Bayo, I'm sure SEGA would sell it to them.
>each mainline title sold less than the previous one
>released a gay kiddy spinoff
nintendo already fucked up that franchise and ran it into the ground.

Nintendo only normally buys small almost literal who tier devs. So they will probably buy like some Chinese or eastern European devs or something. or maybe mercury steam.

>>725041727
Unironically platinum games. They can turn it into roll slop like the starfox GameCube from 2003.

>>725044798
Fromsoft still maintains ownership of the ip so they’re free to do what they want, including putting it on pc. Even with nintendo being publisher that’s no guarantee it won’t happen, they’ve helped publish wonderful 101 on pc with its port

>>725018036 (OP)
>They're finally outsourcing pokemon to a superior studio
About time

>>725018036 (OP)
It would be funny if they bought Fromsoftware

>>725048489
>He forgot thats nintendo only publish pokémon games

>>725032406
Also, basically all of the talent already left.

>>725028040
BOTW launch was wild. Tendies were talking as if Nintendo had just invented physics in videogames

>>725032878
I desperately want Nintendo to tard wrangle Grasshopper like they did Monolith. Let them do whatever they want artistically, but iron out all of the game mechanics.

>>725035713
If you read the actual comments under the table it's all future tense. "We will"

rareware

>>725048489
I fucking wish anon. the leaks showed that they tried to convince game freak to get help from another studio and they kept doing it themselves.

>>725048489
The purpose of buying studios is to get them to make your games, not so you can make theirs. EPD has their hands full with their core franchises, they're not going to take staff from the next Zelda to make Pokémon Stadium 3.

>>725050443
Source on that? Because we know Game Freak did hire outside help and part timers to work on Sword and Shield. The latest leaks also showed one of Game Freak's problems with Sun and Moon's development was that they had too many people working on it and it caused production to become bloated.

>>725026547
Bamco would be insane. Imagine a world where Nintendo owns Gundam.

>Nintendo states they will buy developers in order to bolster their AAA game development.

oh boy this will end so well

>>725052525
with all the lay offs and closures happening there's probably no better time to buy these studios
It's a buyer's market not a seller's one like a few years ago

>>725052525
Microsoft bought failing Western studios because they had literally nothing to offer on their own. Nintendo is buying talent, usually with a proven track record from previous partnerships.

>>725052525
no they are not retarded tranny

>>725018036 (OP)
>Who do you think they will buy?
>Mages
for their expertise on VNs + their work on the recent Famicom Detective Games and as a bonus they get the Steins;Gate/SciADV IPs lol

>>725046143
>nintendo already fucked up that franchise
as opposed to letting it die, you're right and very smart

>>725046143
the gay kiddy spinoff was actually great though. im glad they did that.

>>725048489
Lmao gamefreak doesn't want help, sugimori doesn't want devs and artist better than him, he hates Nintendo and fired masuda and tajiri,humiliated nishida too

>>725026502
>compliments their library nicely, because they didn't have one of those to call their own since they lost Final Fantasy
Pokémon and Golden Sun? Heck Fire Emblem fits as a JRPG for the most part.

>>725048489
>Pokeslop
That shit is unfixable, they should just make a new monster collection game at this point

>>725053390
MS bought Rare at the height of Rare's powers, then the talent got fat or left and the mgaic disappeared

Nintendo should buy Palworld and adapt it into a modern Pokemon and once thats released have everyone at Gamefreak flogged naked in public

>>725051064
They took devs from Odysseys team to make DK:Banonzo

>>725056584
Pocketpair would grumble the moment they get tasked with creating something new. There haven't been new inventions since Ark and Pokémon Legends came out so they wouldn't know what to do

>>725056584
Palworld is a dogshit game people only played because le pokemon with guns became a meme and FOMO streamerbait for the twitch/discord crowd
It has zero value as an IP and the people who make it are worth even less

>>725018036 (OP)
Whatever happens pokemon will not change because the fans will always shovel slop into their mouths

>muh Pokemon
Nintendo is not only Pokemon you retards, grow up

>>725056790
it has sold 25m, thats more than nearly every pokemon game individually

>>725018036 (OP)
It's MercurySteam, Grezzo, and maybe Mages or Arika
Nintendo isn't Microsoft or Sony, they aren't going to buy any big name studio and keep it under their roof. They go with who they already work with.

>>725056584
Palshit never will be like pkmn, it already flopped in Japan, no matter you say

>>725054445
Science Adventure has never put out a good vn, Steins;Gate is overrated.

>>725056968
All FOMO. They would not be able to sell a tenth of that with a sequel, it was a fad that has now passed

8ing and Mages but they're both owned by Colopl so idk that deters Nintendo from trying

>>725055842
Lmao, tajiri was the boss

Thats would like buy a car that's you sold years ago but it engine broke

>>725056584

Considering the fact that literal Bowser greenlit superwoke at nintendo there is a risk it will be some of the sinecures that got fired after destroying other gaming big corpos. Unironically could even be concord devs

Rockstar and Valve

Congratulations on loudly screaming you don't play jrpgs.

Seems naive to blame some hr type cunt like that when companies can and do just flat out ignore people and get out of drama fine by doing absolutely nothing.
Some companies even farm negative press to serve as advertisement for their products.
If they put out shit products by choice.

More likely platinum star or inti creates.
Only good ones left with a very nintendo mind set towards development.
Then plunder the mon hun team of all talent to make their own copy.

Where does it say AAA in your picture anon?

>companies don't sell games, but games sell companies

a great angle of view of the matter anon

>inti creates.
Nintendo buying the company that advertises their games with pictures of little girls wearing next to nothing would be very, very funny.

>>725019294
>Nintendo needs their own FPS, and their own Witcher-esque dark fantasy franchise
Mate, Nintendo is a kids toy company. They don't need these things lmao.

>>725046143
Why do you lie? It took YEARS for bayo1 to sell 1mil on ps3 and xbox 360.
Bayo1+2 did a milly in a month or so on the fucking wiiu.
Same for the switch ports..
Bayo3 did a million or more as well.
And the spin off is one of the best metrovanias in years.
Evrry day its more clear snoys, Xcucks and pcvegans don't ACTUALLY enjoy gaming. You just hate nintendo.
You sad pathetic inbred nigger

>>725059224
More likely Grezzo or IS

Nintendo should buy CC2 and have them on permanent kemono game duty.

>>725018036 (OP)
They should buy back Rare and rewrite their wrongs.

for fuck's sake, why is it always ESLs who make these comics?

>>725019294
Western studios will always deliver half the quality at double the price. All their successes are driven by gargantuan financialized budgets that Nintendo wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

>>725060842
They learned that with Retro and Metroid Prime 4 for sure.

>>725060114
to be fair they just kicked bowser and replaced the NoA CEO with a japanese man
that and steam just rugpulled inti and barely backpedaled on the ban due to fan backlash, so...

>>725060258
They didn't need bayonetta either but their dealings with platinum went very well. If they get another dev like monolith that offers a range of support to other teams too then it could see benefits to all other series.

>>725018036 (OP)
They should buy Square and Mistwalker and get the old gang back together.

>>725032812
Nintendo had no clue what they were doing during the Wii U era. That's when Retro didn't have anything to do and Nintendo themselves barely made any games.

>>725061489
3DS was still going strong in those years, they just reached a point where supporting two different consoles at once wasn't paying working anymore so they consolidated them into the Switch (which was the smartest thing they ever did)

what studio formed when the Mario and Rabbids team left Ubisoft? Maybe those guys

>>725060932
Actually, they learned it from trying to outsource Prime 4 to a fucking Singapore studio, and had to pull Retro off of whatever the fuck they were trying to do to save the project.

>>725061861
I believe it was Day 4 Night. It’s Davide Soliani’s studio that he formed after he left Ubisoft. Might have gotten his name or the studio’s name wrong, but that’s what I remember it being.

>>725026547
>Koei Tecmo
Holy fuck if this means they get team ninja to make them games like rise of the ronin I'm sold

>>725018036 (OP)
a few popular indie devs/studios probably

>>725028040
>Ubiosft towers are okay when Nintendo does it.
Wind waker did that shitty concept better

>>725018036 (OP)
They should hire all the disgruntled ubisoft employees and cofound a European dev studio

>>725051808
Forget Gundam- Bamco's the world's biggest toy manufacturer!

>>725062403
>Day 4 Night
They didn't really choose that as their name, did they? Did they?

>>725018036 (OP)

yes

If you mean Platinum Games, I could see it
>inti creates
So will Gunvolt's suffering end after that buyout out or will it get worse from there?
It's just putting him in Mario Party.
