New mature IP from a new Western Studio when?
Yeah, does seem like they either don't want to continue in those cases or can't.
Unfortunately, that likely means Chibi-Robo is also dead-dead now. At least we got an amiibo.

Does aces selling so well mean anything for the growth of Camelot ?
Dkc returns selling so well didn't seem to do much for retro

Different situations. Camelot is still an independent developer, Nintendo can't directly influence their growth. At least with Retro they reportedly tried to turn it into a two game studio.
I don't think Nintendo grows studios if their games sold 5+ million

there's no real correlation between sales and studio growth for nintendo's studios, especially not independent partners. that would be very much not smart to go on a mad hiring spree because your game with someone else's IP sold well this time.
I just hope Camelot would get enough time in this scenario to develop the game so we don't get a relatively bare-bones Mario Golf entry like Aces was a bare-bones Mario Tennis entry at launch. And that was after already having a foundation regarding HD assets with Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, but I should point out my knowledge on this kind of stuff is not high, so please correct me, anybody, if my thinking is flawed.
The dead horse we haven't beaten to death yet is which license should Nintendo try to nab next:
Just play Fast RMX and accept that as F-Zero on Switch
Still can't believe they didn't make one with the Wii-U and the frickin Gamepad.

That horse is very much alive and kicking and has way less doom attached to it.The dead horse we haven't beaten to death yet is which license should Nintendo try to nab next:
Totally without bias I say that they should go way back and call their buddies at Square Enix to get something rolling with all that Quintet IP that S-E themselves are just sitting on, starting with a remaster compilation. This is totally realistic and basically already confirmed. No, you're delusional!

I keep throwing the Quintet Quintology around, throwing in both ActRaisers. I bring that up (even just as a joke) since Nintendo was directly involved in bringing out Illusion and Terranigma in the West, where those two were basically received as "Nintendo games" back then, especially in Europe (where NOE's localization and publishing push for RPGs was basically the only way we got any of them). It would only feel right to close the loop like this. But then again, they might just miss the mark when it comes to popularity and IP value when compared with Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Just a wild guess.Soul Blazer + Illusion of Gaia + Terranigma Collection?
Nintendo needs to make nice with whoever and get that Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Remastered Collection to happen on Switch.
Other than that no licenses really spring to mind. Star Wars and Marvel seem like the big two right now and they just did MUA3. Maybe they could do an MLB game or something?

What's that sound?
Oh, nothing. Just me sighing into the void while whispering "Rogue Squadron".
Perfect timing, haha.
Also, if we're talking media franchises they could potentially license; Harry Potter, DC, LEGO, or something like that could work.
Harry Potter Harry Potter Harry Potter. I can't say this enough. Nintendo get a Harry Potter game on Switch.
Heh. Maybe Square-Enix will eventually remember they own those games once they're done remastering everything else.
I think any arrangement where the license is held by WB (Harry Potter, DC, Lego?) is going to come with some caveats because they have their own plans. Star Wars would be difficult because they'd have to go through EA and Disney/LucasArts but maybe still doable. Actually surprised they haven't worked on a Disney property since, uh, Mickey Speedway USA if I'm not mistaken? Feels like there would be a lot of overlap between audiences, especially the Pixar stuff.
I doubt WB would lend them Harry Potter for a fully exclusive game. Maybe a timed exclusive like Lego City Undercover though...
Would have said the same thing about Marvel 12 months ago to be honest. I mean, it's unlikely obviously, still.
Starring Plum, of course.
The dead horse we haven't beaten to death yet is which license should Nintendo try to nab next:
Their next license will be a new Game Center CX game, given how close Nintendo is with Arino and the crew. His Mario Maker costume was just the beginning...
Nintendo did a Disney licensed Art Academy game a few years ago.
True, unlike Disney, however, WB actually has a hand in game development and not just licensing. Could work either way depending on their own plans, I guess.
You're right and I just remembered the Disney Magical World games for 3DS although they were only the publisher in the West.
the best chance is if THQNordic ended up with it and they find it while they're sifting through old-ass gamesHas anybody played this game before?
There's no chance of it ever being rereleased, is there?
otherwise, no
Does WB hace actual developers or is it just an oversight team like Marvel Games seems to be now?
WB owns Rocksteady, Netherrealm, Monolith (Middle-Earth games), WB Montreal, and Avalanche (former Disney Infinity devs, now working on next-gen Harry Potter RPG).
High quality has a cost. People seem to be more attracted by shitty lootboxes and subscriptions than they were by a decent Mario game at a decent price.
A lot of mobile games can't be decent even with talented developers, because of the very nature of the free to play model. Nintendo went for it because they were attacked by this crap and had to react in this market. It's an horrible news but hey, that's not "conservative" so I guess it's wonderful.
That would be great. That was my best outcome from AlphaDream shutting down. Isn't this what Nintendo did for Hudson?
Found my answer: nope. This studio was already created

I have a hard time making out where this construction work is supposed to be done. My first impulse was that it might just be renovations but maybe it's a new building or expansion? Difficult to say.
No reason at all to think that a building is specifically being made to house employees of a studio that ran into trouble five or so months after construction began. I guess such employees of a hypothetical rescue could use it as office space, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the construction itself.
The kanji mentioned something about disaster and safety department or something. 災
That game was so good, I can't believe that Monolith developed it, I associate them only with Xenoblade and Baten Kaitos.
No one owns the TMNT video game license, right? Maybe Nintendo can obtain it and put out a TMNT collection (TMNT NES, TMNT Arcade, TMNT II NES, TMNT III NES, TMNT Turtles in Time Arcade, TMNT IV SNES). If 1up arcade can obtain the licence and arcade games, I don't see why Nintendo can't. Maybe even work with Wayforward or IntiCreates for a sprite-based TMNT V.
I know, but 1up arcade was able to obtain the license to use TMNT Arcade game (which is TMNT II NES) and Turtles in Time (TMNT IV SNES). I'm sure if 1up arcade could obtain the license and agreement from Konami, then why couldn't Nintendo? Sure Konami would want part of the cut, but I don't see why they would object. They have licensed their ip to Nintendo before (Momotaro Dentetsu), they don't own the TMNT license anymore so its not like the are making any new TMNT games, and It would be free money for them.
It would be nostalgia for NES and SNES owners, like the Disney collection Capcom put out.
I never understood why Nintendo didn't work with a company like Eurocom to create more of those, uh, "guided" core experiences. Dead Space: Extraction was pretty good.
